Made $64 on 6 trades for the week. Did not trade on Wednesday. Today's trade hurt the most because I thought I had my stop at 80, but was actually at 80.50. I usually have 2 pt. stop. I got stopped out and NQ went up 20 points. I am profitable 3 weeks in a row, which is a personal best but...

Thank-you.

Yesterday I was feeling really bad because of all the mistakes and losses. The losses were small but the frequency was huge. I had 11 trades but I should have traded 1 only. After some of the losses, I got the fat-pitch that I was waiting for but could not re-enter especially yesterdaay. I...

I was going to update on weekend only but this week has been terrible. I have made one mistake after another. Being impatient is my main problem. Not sure what all I'm doing wrong but I feel like I'm going one step forward and two steps back. This week I made 11 trades for a loss of 329. Only...

Since you prefer investments over corporate finance, #2 is a better choice. When you start as a financial analyst, most of the time you'll be doing dashboards.

WOW!!!! I really felt an inner peace just by reading this. Thank-you.

I hope so....I will certainly like to think that I am on the right track. Using a longer time frame allows me to capture a bigger trend, and gives me time to do things that I really want/love to do. After I put on a trade, I am going to work-out or go for a run or do something else besides watch...

+107 for the week. Total 7 trades, 1 winner (target met), 2 winner (trailing stop), 4 losses, out of which 3 were from Wednesday and 1 was today. I have been going through my trades and it seems that I am just making things too complicated. I need to simplify my logic and reasonings. On...

It's true but it is more of an exception though. Many times on days like today you can never find a good entry point.

I had a pretty bad day yesterday. The market started selling right at the open but was still above yesterday's low, so I used my strategy 2 to trade. It did not work. Lost 150 on 3 trades. Today I had a small profit +17 but I made mistakes. I moved my trailing stop too quickly and I was...

No trades today. I was out all day with my family in town. Seems like I missed a monster day. There were atleast 5 buy signals today and few of the set-ups were similar to yesterday that would have been good for 20-25 pts. Anyway it was great time at the beach with nephews and neices. This...

Thanks...always trying to stay humble and strong.

I wasn't trying to show how smart I was.....I needed some help/encouragement/plan so I thought I would just post my trades and start there. I learned a lot from this site...there is a lot of bs but there are good gems if you can filter the bs. There were two threads...Emini Divergence Journal...

No intention of doing that. It took me few years of watching the market to get to this level and I am NOT even a consistent/successful trader. I have ways to go. Hopefully this is the big step.

Finally!!!!! Last week I was on the sideline as the market went up. For three days, I just sat in front of my computer and looked at different indicators and price levels. I noticed that as prices approached certain levels, it started acting differently. I thought I would give that a shot...

I lost 32 on Friday. On Tues, Wed, Thurs the market kept going higher without me on board. I should have just stayed on sideline on Friday since the market had already broken overnight low and previous day's low. I made one major mistake and lost 49 right away, then made 17 on the next two...

Same story different day. No trades today. At 8.13, there was a long signal B 50.50, S 49.25 which was never filled although price traaded at 50.50. I think I should seriously consider buying at the ask as long as my stop is not more than 3pts. Although this journal has helped me to look...

I think so...not necessarily market but market-if-touched. Market orders could get me 2-4 ticks above my limit-price, but MIT should get me mostly within 1 tick. I will look into that. Will make the changes next week if necessary.

Today sucked for different reasons. At 8.02, there was a long signal B 27.25 S 26. I had the order in there and price came down to 27.25 but I wasn't filled. At 8.24, there was another long signal B 32.75, S 31 that would have been filled and profitable but I stood there like a deer on a...

2 trades, 2 losses -48 with commissions. -32 for the month. I went back and looked at my trades(paper and real) for the past few months and noticed that most of the big-runs happen when price retracs by less than 2/3rd. I will include that to my set-up. Currently I have 80% as the criteria...
