so another big hit to my account from yesterday crazy ass move (got caught on the false breakout at 9am cst). account is little over 7k now So i'm giving up..on the US session. Sometimes you got to admit that you can't compete with these guys. I don't remember ever having a large losing asian...

scratch this idea. cant figure out how i can convert cqg filled orders from one column into two buy/sell column to make it easy to calculate. this is turning into a pain in the ass to do manually.

I'm making a significant change to my risk level of my fade trades. The change is a smaller stop range and no average in (single position). I need to track how this affects my strategy overall so I'm tracking 100 trades on a separate spreadsheet. I'll be using CQG filled entry/exit price and...

Worst trading since journal started happened on Tuesday. The day after i managed to walk away from a $1000 loss on Monday with minimal contracts. I started out Tuesday with like $100 profit in asia, then decided to trade the EU session (thinking i can recover some loss). That's when it started...

Got $3500 invested and im up to over $6500 now ..How do I determine what my PROFITS are and when should I sell shares to take profits? log off you drunk bastard

when i stream now, it's always at the 9am cst. i didn't trade the 9am hour cause it didn't fit my rules to fade that down move, so waited till the next hour. i traded the eu session cause i'm making up grounds from yesterday's debacle. i'll post the results and thoughts end of the week as always.

yesterday was probably my worst trading day in a while. and today is one of my best. now why do you think that is?

i feel like throwing up watching this price action lol..that's almost a 1000 tick reversal in asian..

looked over my session breakdown..i'm super consistent in the asian session...i tend to fall apart in the US session..

had a -$1000 hit today in a trend day of all days. one thing i did improve since last time is avoiding the additional contracts on these types of days (i still average into a zone if it's relative flat move). That saved me a bit But this gives me a chance to review days like today, like 7/19...

I lift too, HIT style workout.. Doesn't take more than an hour... Still got at least 5-6 hours.. Then what?read? Gardening lol.. What s the age group for people here? Just wondering

personally i wouldn't quit a job, especially if you can trade at work with no issues. keep trading and buildling your account. then make regular withdrawals. buy real estate, pay off debts, and build savings and 529 for the kids. thats been my plan at least. trading full time is over...

weekly for aug Rolling in to August.

closing the book on July next month, just need to focus on getting a control over the big hit days.

Streaming is easy. I've used xsplit and obs broadcast. I prefer obs cause it's more intuitive to me. And yes you can manipulate the windows a bit to hide sensitive info. This is why i like using sierra for streaming show/tell cause no personal information on the chart. but if you prefer the...

Reviewed my week and made slight adjustments here and there. Biggest thing for me is jumping in front of the "momentum train" too early. Both 7/19 and 7/22 were trend days (late day for 7/19 and strong day for 7/22). I agree, i need to be able to react quicker to what the chart is showing...

hopefully next week is not another screw up...

thanks for your support i posted to respond to trader jean and wrbtrader....just as you had to explain shit and post things..i had to do the same and explain the circumstance behind my stream.. so much love at ET.... anyway..i'm doing weekly pnl post oK? is that ok with everyone?? lol..jesus

answer: yes. will i? no

it was a good day. that reverse long fit my breakout rules..and yes, i had to cut it to go to work. i normally stream on my off days, but this week my hours are slightly after lunch..so i was fuck..let's record. But now i realize cutting stream short is kind of stupid anyway cause i dont get to...
