No band practice last night so was able to get to bed early. Also traded from home today so it was a nice way to start. On a positive note i had best green day in awhile. A few months ago days like today i would probably have been chasing a lot and lost. I've reached that Pogo moment ...

thanks rashid. feel free to post here anytime. I was entering too late today. mostly had direction right just wasn't getting the follow through. A couple nice profits held too long. Once again left for lunch and missed last hr drop. Interestingly when i was getting chopped up i thought...

thanks guys. BTW, is there some kind of law of trading that says the closer i think i am to "getting it" the more likely i'll get slapped back to beginners level. Getting chopped up today. sheesh. 50k in a day ? Nice ! I need to dream a lot bigger.

I knew the holy grail had to do with numerology. So MORE than 3 minutes . Got it ! :D Yep, look scared. I need to relax. I've got the opposite of confirmation bias. i see everything as a sign the trade is not working. thanks

here's the trade PnL for the day. 62 % profitable . A dream day for me. And yet...after commish BE. Today's PA was really a text book day for entry set ups.

Everything i held to let run came back for a small gain or loss. Everything i should have held i exited too soon. I've been working on my entries and that paid off today now i need to really focus on exits. Lack of plan ? Bad price read ? Mental issue ? Probably a bit of each. This has been...

agree w/ agent 007 been there. Nevermind the money. you are doing psychological damage to yourself and your future trading . take time off then come back and trade very, very small. your future as a trader depends on it. GL

+3.5 pts today on 5 trades here's a chart w/ first 3 trades i think they're good set ups. great ? not sure. I have a small stack of charts with examples of set ups that i print up as i see them repeat from day to day. I need to review them more often. I review before the trading day...

Thanks Rashid. Every bit of encouragement helps at his point. appreciate your thoughts and advice. You've descibed the learning process well. Seems the good set ups do stand out but they can also be the scary ones to trade. I'm learning to deal with it. Cheers !

Can't argue with what your saying. Guess i'm a slower learner but starting to be able to tell good set ups from poor set ups. thanks for calling it like you see it and thanks for this "i thought u have very good setups, while reading ur posts. WHY do u dont trade them" it helps...

Yep it really is that simple. Not easy but simple. Thanks JP

Appears i'm trading scared. Doesn't feel like it but looking at the results that's what it looks like. I'm exiting slightly profitable trades at the first hesitation in price. Getting out for 1 pt or less gain then missing 5 , 6 or more points. Mental thing i'll work on by staying calm and...

3 trades + 2.50 pts. (2 BE trades) Huge volatility after fed statement. Had a slight moment of panic and had to double check to make sure i was flat. :D Went out to lunch and missed the final 1 1/2 hours. Nice drop. I hate missing that kind of action. That's about it. Will do some...

Thanks HtR. Agree some of my set ups are not the Best. I'm seeing that now. Continuing to watch , study and learn to read the markets. Slow progress but i think i'm moving in the right direction. Thanks !

Thanks Gabe. I couldn't figure how to find the file in paint. Figured out today how to paste it there. thanks for the reply
