Hey Slugar, Good to see you're back posting ! Good trading to you ! jas

Ok I think I responded to everybody. Let me know if missed something. =============== Difficult PA day. Big drop overnight in equities. My immediate post trade review was everything was done fine per plan. I'll go back and review all the trades again. I think my last NQ trade was exited too...

I was mistaken yesterday. I thought most trades were CL in fact I had 5 CL trades and 5 NQ trades. Anyway, I get your point. Thanks Handle. 10K wk ? I haven't dreamed that big. Yet.

My current goals are to: 1. continue to have patience in trade selection 2. complete my trade worksheets which will track my entries, exits and mistakes 3. Review the days chart to increase my knowledge of PA and better understand my entries. The better I understand my entries and exits the...

Been awhile since I looked at his books. The first one jumps right in to the material without defining his terms from what I recall. It's a confusing and tedious read. My understanding is so many traders complained that he then went and rewrote into several books. Maybe he was just trying to...

Quitting early. Taking the $$ and calling it a day. Again missed the surprisingly big move in CL today while watching NQ chop around a bit. CL had some clear signals for me when I did start watching so most trades there today. Overall, I did exactly what I wanted to do. Patient waiting for...

LOL :D :D Having fun while trading is still a new idea/ experience for me. There's that 'stayed focused/pressure to follow plan' mindset that overrides the relax and have fun approach. But certainly I can do both and will try. Agreed. Last week is history. A new week of patience and focus...

Thank you but far from great. Just doing what we're all doing here; studying, learning , trying to improve. The Hill book has the basics of Elliot Wave theory (EWT). I've made profitable trades strictly using EWT but I wouldn't recommend it and it's not part of my plan now at all. Too...

Thank you my friend. You have a good weekend too. jas

oh yeah, Iwilldoit one of the Hill books is 'Stock & Commodity Market trend trading by advanced technical analysis'

Done for day. Too bored to continue. NQ in choppy range. Mid morning I looked at CL and saw I missed some good trades. that's fine I hadn't intended to trade it. But decided to keep an eye on CL since NQ was looking range bound. +20 ticks in CL on 4 trades. no NQ trades today. Acknowledged...

I didn't know he passed. I only knew him through his magazine articles and some ET posts. Too bad.

I've been trading too much in my comfort zone and not enough per plan this week. By that I mean I haven't been sitting through 'uncomfortable ' pullbacks or taking 'uncomfortable' trades. That was a problem I had in the past so I came in today focused on allowing myself to be uncomfortable...

Had 3 trades that went considerably higher after my exit. This use to really bother me. No longer. You make the trade and move on. Maybe learn something in review. One of these days though I will catch a nice runner. That I do look forward to. Good state of mind today. My stops in this...

Traded calm and patient. Mistakes made were exiting too soon on the quick pullbacks. They were sharp and faster than normal. That's falling back into bad habits as price came back to near my entry. So, had two good entries on that last hour sell off but allowed myself to get shaken out. I just...

No, no, no ..o_O

ND, RN. Thank you. I think there was lingering frustration in me and your comments really helped. Was still replaying a couple missed trades. OK done with that. LOL, you know me well. Will do.:) Went for jog this evening. Patient and focused tomorrow.

Got back in town Saturday. Rested up and reviewed on Sunday. Came in to the day ready to be patient. Big drop in equities overnight. Decided to just trade 1 contract today due to expected greater volatility. The bigger moves threw me off today. I needed bigger stops just to avoid the noise...

Traded well again. Patient waiting for proper entries, consistent with exits. 1 out at nearby S/R , next out at PA target, MM or HTF S/R, or on reversal signal. I'll look into the exit strat more after this weekend. Trading calm and detached again. picked up +29.25 pts the past two sessions...

Gary's ORB method was the one I tried when I first tried day trading. I was trading the NYFE and phoning in orders to lind waldock. It was horrible ! I had no idea what I was doing. Volatility was so low that rarely got a signal and they often failed. Around 1994-1996, vix terribly low. Record...
