    Maybe you should put me and my thread on ignore! I feel like I am a witch! haha...just j/k! !:D You are doing well. Sh** happened once a while, even for pros. As long as the outcome is good. One or two days out of controls will not do too much damage. Make sure you have reasonable max...

    I will keep in mind the 60-90min rule to back up my trading decision. yesterday I thought that was "too good to be true," too easy to take". I am such a fool:mad:

    Have to always remind myself every trade is an individual trade. They can't be influenced by each other!

    Did horrible today. Nothing works out for me. All losing trades. Maximized my daily loss. I got to stop trading. The first trade was a long. Look for price to test YTD high. Got stopped out when price made 2 failed breakout patterns. -8Pts Second trade was a short. After 2 failed break...

    The mistake for today is I couldn't "believe" the retrace was shallow. 23.6%. I kept thinking it will come down to 38%, where pivot level;,VWAP line is....And it would break at the last hour... Of course market shoots again sharply, it's only retraced 23.6%.... Learned my lesson once again...

    err. i wish i had the gut to reenter today. As i said on before, I have never seen YM retrace that shallow before(meaning the bull is soooo strong, people just buy buy buy). This is one of those 20% of the trending day! I couldn't accept that while it's just right in front of me!

You can find journal like this on internet too. The key is really to review the trades and think about :why. Then you...

    Right on! The first losing trade always influences the 2nd trade. Plus today, it;s the" runup has already happen in the first hour" day. I didn't expect the "breakout" would happen so quickly today, that's reason #2 when I see the momentum slows down. I thought it might range bound a little...

    How foolish I am today. Did not extract anything from market. First trade was D/B pullback buy at the open. Stopped out at -10Pts loss. Then market came down to Pivot Point, rapidly went back up. I didn’t enter. The 2nd entry-pullback on 2min chart happened very fast too. I didn’t have...

    I played the long side majority of time today. I especially like the buying activity after fluid emotional sell-off on small time frame. Trading is so damn hard!!! At least we have found our setup to trade with. Next step is to really trust it and trade with eyes close. Trading is also...

    I can't believe you are dealing with it... You are too modest. I think you are a super trader! I actually think for someone who is so exerienced like you. Its not a bad idea to only take "the best" and "most confirmed" setups. So what if it's less profit, you got high win rate. As long as you...

    Congrats on another great week! Nice job! I played mostly on long side today. I didn't nail too much profit either. Got whipsawed on first 2 trades which killed my daily profit! Brave you, thinking of ignoring major news. I still SOH . Market don't act rational when major news released at...

    I have been giving a lot of thoughts on Went Fishing’s comment last night. I thought that my lack of confidence is my barrier to entry any trades. I took a look again the past trades I missed. Yes, I would have more losing trades; I would be stopped out more often. But the outcome for taking...

    NoDoji. Al mentioned multiple times in his book about the entry strategy. I skip all of them..I thought those aren't important to know for me. The way I enter my trade is, see the set up, caculate the risk I want to take, if it fits, then enter one tick above/below the reversal trend bars...
