    Here is the chart of my trading today: The no 27 appears again. We're at page 27 of this thread now. No 27, what does your repeated appearance mean? Are you a sign? Did you bring me good luck today? If so, then I'm grateful. Or did you intentionally kept me from being profitable until now...

    Great day. I finally got my big hit. I'm up $240 on seven trades. A 30% profit in one day. Last night I looked over my trading this week and saw I was making mistakes I shouldn't be doing. I almost went short in the early morning, but staying disciplined I recognized I should be going long...

    Frustrating day. I'm down $85 on nine trades. I was long all morning, but kept getting stopped out multiple times. Many of those trade were stopped out near lows of a pullbacks only to see the continue in my direction for big gains. One was even at an exact low which I suspect was caused by...

    Okay day. Didn't make much money. I'm up $85 on four trades. I missed the big rally at the open b/c I hesitated to take any risks. Tried to do a short, got close to the top but wasn't close enough. Exited near break-even no matter what. Then I had a trade around 9:00. Didn't know there was...

    Tough day. I'm up $125 on eight trades. The morning was really tough. When short a couple of times with good entries but had to exit at b/e. I almost started breaking my rules from the frustration. I stayed calm and saw signs of a rally developing. Made around $50-100 each on the next two...

    Trader Psychological Test: The Left Brain vs Right Brain

    I got up early. I was bored and did some more analysis. I found that it's not just the number 13 and 34 that produce 27. It's found by diving each alternative number in the sequence by the total of the two. I've attached a screenshot of the excel file below. Things to note: - Fibanncci...

    Trader Psychological Test: The Left Brain vs Right Brain

    Did some analysis and found something interesting. The 13 and 34 above are Fibonacci numbers. (1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55). The two decimal points: 0.66 and 0.34 are close to the 62/38 Fibonacci ratio. Dividing 13 by 34 gives you 0.382 (13/24 = 0.382). That's even stranger.

    B/E on seven trades. Had an early gain. Then made one mistake that cost me $50. I was going short and saw a huge order to sell 115+ contracts near my stop and thought that would make excellent resistance. Next thing I knew, price zipped through like it wasn't there. Made it back by going long...

    I've made a lot of tweaks has been since I joined back in May. The big disadvantage is being under-capitalized. That's why elements of the system was designed to make up for it. There's a reason why I had that first big success back in early August. And that was before some more modifications...

    Bad idea or a smart solution?

    How are you gonna deal with the emotional and psychological issues when going live? Taking out loans to trade will just make it worse.

    Thanks for all your concerns. But really, I'm okay. I don't have an ego. I know when to listen to good advice when I see it. Being able to tell what's good or bad advice is a talent I have. My comment to heech was more about trying to piss him off than expressing my beliefs. He might be one of...

    What I meant by that statement was "what qualifications do you have for me to even care about your opinion." P.S. you don't know anything about me. IMO, journals here are not good learning sources. I looked at a couple here and most are too confusing to be of any value. This forum has some...

    I would get a job if it pays me decently enough to cover my cost of living. However, no one is willing to offer me that. For me, trading offers the best opportunity to make money is reason enough. What makes you think you got the right to judge? You and most here do it for the same reasons...

    Frustrating day. Lost $65 on four trades. Had multiple great entries that would have netted around $100 each. However, I was trying to aim for the big profits today. Didn't take reasonable exits when I saw them and ended up getting out at breakeven. One of them was even a short at a very good...

    Tough day in the market. Hard to get a position in from all the choppiness. Lost $115 on five trades. No winners. Tried to go short a couple of times. Had one good entry near the open but price reversed and had to exit at break even only to see it start tanking shortly after. Tried to do two...
