Well done, Subie! You seem to be on the right track. lA ittle here, a little there. Gettin' while the gettin's good. These are all hard lessons to learn. My approach is somewhat different than yours, but I also share your tendency to do well for a few days, and then blow up...

Wrong. I played by the rules, and took out my hard earned three. It just didn't feel right today. Either I was not in tune with the market, or the market was not in tune with me. So I took a three hour nap. I think I did the right thing. I got some rest - and I got to keep my pathetic...

If only this were a game where the brightest and smartest took home all the goodies. But alas, it isn't. It is a game dominated by the trader who plays by the rules - day after day. Damn-it!

Guilt? Yep, that's the ticket. But I still want to know how you eally feal about your trading this week.

...Cut the "see yesterday" crap, Sub - how do you really feel about your results? Personally, I think it's a tough day. I am up a little bit more than you (3 points), and feeling very uncomfortable about the whole thing - must be the full moon.

You keep this up, and I am sure that The Market technicians will not only welcome you back next year, but with open arms - I might even attend myself!

...you go, SubDude!!!

subie, I am worried. Needless to say, I am not inside of your head, but you just gotta get back on the bicycle. Obviously. from looking at your trades on the good days, you know how to do this. And you also know what went wrong on the bad days. But you can't fix the problem unless you...

...the more I read, the more I am reminded of the saying: You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. tampa just one of the people...

God how I hate it when I blow up - it happens. Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that you are going for a point with a one point stop. If so may I suggest an application that will enter your order, place a target stop, and a stop loss order all with one mouse click. In...

"I am trying to keep things simple. To sum up my strategy it is basically buying pullbacks on the current trend. Its completely discretionary. Today kicked my butt since there was not really any good trends ... until towards the end of the day." You don't really need help from others - you...

rs7, Do you think it would be possible for you to stop sticking your nose into every thread, no matter what? I enjoy Mister Subliminal's posts, and I do not care who you think he is, nor do I need your opinion or views on anything to do with the Sub-man. You have chased others from...

Mister Sub. I make a point of not reading trading journals, and cannot explain how I came upon yours. It is a rare day that you fail to put a smile on my face - and there are many that you have had me laughing out loud! I don't know who the hell you are, but you are one very talented dude...

The problem is that you are the only one who cares about your opinion of an event that no one can foresee. What will be is what will be.

I guess I'm just some kind of nut case, but I fail to see the point in trying to foretell the future. Hey, here's a novel idea, rather than waste your time playing guessing games, why not just let the market tell you what it's going to do! And then act accordingly!!!

...so, how come none of you boys have enlisted yet? armchair soldiers, or just run-of-the-mill blowhards?

There is so much to learn around here - but none of it in threads like this. Too bad that the threads that answer your questions die on the vine, but crap like this live on and on.

I suspect that you will be less than pleased with the answer, but anyone who understands how to trade is able to walk away with profits. The answer is not in a particular software, or book, but in an understanding of yourself and the markets. No one can provide that in a short reply on a...
