I am working on my trading issue, in three ways. I have someone who I chat with during the day and they have me post check lists regularly and what I'm looking to trade and gives me feedback if it seems I am getting off my game. Then, I am back to meditating and doing a simple exercise routine...

I hope it was good today...

This is a good thread. Fear is a natural reaction, and it seems one can make money in the mass behavior of the market by being able to trade logically. I'm struggling right now because I don't want to go through another cycle like I did recently. Right now my fear is of pulling the...

I read somewhere a good point, which is a lot of nasdog stocks declined around %90 from the peak. Do you really think home prices anywhere in america will decline %90? I don't know I really am asking. I think if prices decline even %20 to %30 it is more a correction.

When I was 15 I met this Zen monk who was a student of Bernie Glassman, in the school of Meazumi Roshi who founded ZCLA Zen Center of Los Angeles. Through him I started attending workshops and retreats at this Zen monastery in the catskills. After highschool I went there for a year work...

I like uptown around 34th st, that same bump been there for years, if you are above 65 you will be airborne for a moment.

I have had a lot of days like I suffered below, so finally I decided to replay it in writing for the record. I think this demonic progression will probably be familiar to others. This also happens, demonically enough, after a stream of nice trading results. How Did I Trade So Badly Today...

They got just a little longer to keep making this money. I also hate NYSE. As a joke I will put out a market short sometimes just to see how long I can go, how far it will move, before I can cancel it, with still NO FILL.

There are a few things to track that might help this. 1. What is the maximum a winning trade goes in your favor without ever hitting your original stop, no matter where you actually exited. From this I found that some winners are very large and to be worrying about breakeven stops was the...

I wouldn't worry about date deadlines, you will just add stress. I try to get rid of my date deadlines, they have never come true anyway. I bet your pro in helping you helped himself. Maybe you need to mentor yourself, pretend you are the pro and your hands are a student. Make sure your...

I agree with this, for me I want to be able to know I can get out where I want no matter what. I also am familiar with some nasdaq tricks, like a lot of those .40 drops in nsadaq are flushes and if they flush down thru obvious stops ending with just a few fills right at some whole number...

Yeah, for me they keep getting smaller, I keep knowing better they are on the way.

I have found scaling out I get less gains then if I wait for either a profit target, a minimum gain or a reversal pattern. All while using a not too tight trailing stop. The drawback of partialling out? Either I scale out on something that was good for only a small move then I get stopped on...

Hey Ivica! I'm really glad I can still see your list dude. Good luck. I'm still gonna come visit you one day....

How have you been doing following your plan the last few weeks?

Thanks for that pdf.

Here is what I learn. At the start goodday explained he had worked out an emini style for himself after many long years of hard experience. At the start of the thread he was making large profits. Then he ran into difficulty and switched to his plan for when that happens. That was informative...

I like your circuit breaker plan, is this something you have written down, and has this worked for you in the past? Sounds like hard won rules.
