    Day trading difficulties

    Trend still remains as the over all average sentiment... A lighter explanation...... some (weaker or baby) bulls and bears keep getting tired through out the day .. yelling and showing fingers at each other.

    Are trading rules subject to copyrights

    I believe the copyrights are for Reproduction, translation, or distribution of the text. I think the OP wants to know if they apply to things such as trading rules. My guess is that they do if the material is in text and published with the copyright remarks. And off course have to be unique...

    Trading requires patience!!

    Its not different for other instruments, really. I guessed it coz, futures (such as Indexs) are averages and tend to oscillate alot in between moves and get the best of you. I prefer to trade stocks, they tend to be alot directional when in action. I can size up on small moves and manage them...

    Trading requires patience!!

    You sound like you trade futures? Yes I have experience and I amended my strategy. I enter DURING the move with a market order, does not matter where, sooner the better and Add if it shows strength after pullbacks(if any). Close out if my EMA is violated or the tape starts to show big...

    To be honest with you, I trade more visually than with actual numbers. I use one 10 period sma as a guide. After a lot of screen time, you can see the momentum within the price action using tick charts. So, especially for futures, I trade only runners. My experince with futures is that you can...

    When trading averages such as futures, by rule i take profits when i am a certain percentage up. It is ususally derived from the average opeing range of the Contract. 0.5% is usuallly a good target for me.

    Stress and Trading

    Been practicing "power of now" helps to focus on NOW and stay objective. It explains that the stress results from Past experience (fear) and Future expectations (fear/Greed). At the end of the day its all about controling the Monkey (MIND).

    Emg Respect your analysis. And your other posts as well. I believe very few of us are blessed with the a structured entry into the markets. Most of us first see the pot of gold and run towards it. Who keep at it, either get it some do or vanish. You and I both know, he will not take ur...

    If you are going to trade futures, you will have to be a student of its behaviour first. - How futures are affected on some paticular days. FED meetings, key speakers, Key earnings reports, Unemployment numbers etc, there are tons of these. - Futures are very Emotion driven and therefore the...

    Day/SWING/POSITION ?? TRADING

    . I prefer not to deal with the S/R levels in Anytime frames. As they can limit my trades POTENTIAL. I stay with the momentum untill it does not work. In theory the all strategies should be time frame independent and only depend on "Traders" experience with the markets. All that is required...

    Something to think over... why are you trying to short the Strongest contract (of s&P and Dow) on a UP day after a huge UP day in a BULL Market ? I have done the mistakes that you did and around the same timeframe as you. Its very tuf for me to tell yopu to reconsider, as I know how it...
