Hey Ben, What trading platform do you use. I use ninja trader and her is how I do my order entry and exit. This will prevent getting in early at a false break out. 1. For entry use Stop Limit and put both the stop and the limit at your intended entry. 2. For exit use a limit order. This...

Forgot to post the chart, here it is.

Here are my numbers for tomorrow: Two longs, very close but 2 separate trades. Long 1269 or 1272 Short breakout of LOD 1254 Hope everyone has a great trading day tomorrow. My trading will be very limited in the morning. Maybe the numbers will get hit right after market opens. 4re

Like you have said...we are our own worst enemy 4re

No, with my lack of time I usually just like to get out all at once so I can be done for the day. There isn't anything wrong with scaling out or in for that matter. I just get called away alot of times to deal with patients so this is the only that I get to trade right now...Had to fit trading...

Porgie, I have to be as mechanical as possible. Tried the other stuff and it didn't work for me. Maybe I am not smart enough for that... I also try to do the same with my exits. I try to let my winners ride and it bites me in the butt everytime. Did it on my first trade this morning and took...

Well, it seems like you are doing good for yourself. Are you doing any other trades for the day?

The main reason that I do just go for 2 and stop is because I like to cherry pick the best possible trades I can find and go with 1 large trade. It seems like the more I trade in a day the more stupid I get. So I like to get all trading done before stupid sets in. Do you prefer the breakouts...

Romik, Thanks for the root, I guess it helps when somebody else is out there rooting for ya. Otherwise I end up rooting for myself and then the whole ego thing kinda pops up. :D Hope you are having a good trading day. 4re

I am done for the day as well. Starting to get a little scary to the downside. Glad to be out.

Good trading guys hope you are having fun and making some money. 4re

I am waiting for 59 to short...

I took the 63.75 short again and exited with 1.5 points. So I am now at even money for the day minus commissions.

If it comes up yes I will go long at 1272. Still looks good, in fact it actually looks better now than in pre market.

Ridgerunner, Right now I am only trading the ES. I try to only trade the market hours but sometimes I will get into pre market if I need to. 4re

K-Rock, Nope. I didn't stay out of it and stopped out for 1.5 point loss. I will consider another short if we break through 1259. Right now that is the only trade I am looking at. I was trying to get out of this trade +1 point but it snapped up too fast for me to enter the order. That is ok...

Sandy, I always keep up with where the linear regression line is. Usually we are not this close to it where it would come into play though. I have used it in maybe 2 other calls on this journal though. The reason it is not as big a deal in ES trading is that we have a lot of non...

Note: Also be advised of 8:55 ET redbook. Since I am trying to be as unbiased as I can be I will be monitoring before this comes out with an order ready but I don't just jump in these trades. I let the market suck me in and get ready to make a quick exit. Usually the market will re trace on...

Hi Everybody, Here are my numbers for tomorrow: Long 1272-1274.50 this high is where the linear regression line is. Intsitution guys love to test this level. Short 1263.75 - 1261.75 not much wiggle room here so if you take this and see it reversing on you exit with some profits and wait...

Pkts, The charts I am posting are Profit charts used by options xpress. I like the versatility of their charts for planning my trades. They do not have the 24 hr prices on them but it is very easy for me to see the important stuff. I use my E signal charts for actual trading. The profit charts...
