Pretty busy day today CAGC gave me a WW daily sell signal. It moved against me and I took a stop. I did trade it one more time when I received the signal again and was stopped out for a second time but the second stop out was slightly better than BE. – 164 APKT gave a B8 short signal and...

One small trade today I made one gap up trade today in the open that was executed perfectly and exited perfectly based on the rules of the trade. I did keep the share size small and I could have traded it larger but flawless execution is what I was focused on. EXPD + 90 + 90

Ok, thanks Best to you as well

Yes, all my trades for better or worse have exits amounts that are based on a fix amount per share gain or a break in a 10min trendline. I have been trying to find an improvement to the fixed amount and try to let the winners run but for a while I will just stick to my trading plan as that...

no trades today I was out of the office for much of the day. As it turns out there would have been one trade that probably would have been made with PLL that would have been a winner but not large as the entry scale in would have started 2 cents off the high of that move. The other trade...

I need to get a flute.

Hi Cae, I could not have said it better myself. Perfectly reflects my thoughts. I could have just copied and pasted your post for my last post and saved myself a lot of time : o ) Thanks Robert

Hi Bighog, Thanks for saying so. I agree having a plan is very important. I allowed discretionary trading to creep into my trading in ever increasing amounts before I was ready. I may be a better discretionary trader than I was a year ago but that part is still net negative. I believe...

Hi 21, Thanks for saying so. I agree. I am glad you were able to get value out of the chat room. I know I sure have. Stop in from time to time and let us know how your doing. Robert

I hold the Dalai Lama in very high esteem but have no knowledge of Tibetan astrology. Based on my understanding of the markets though there is an equal amount of fulfillment of wishes as there are un-fulfillment of wishes with every trade so perhaps it is in the larger context of life's...

Whats wrong with cartoons??? lol Robert

ni hao I didn't think that much of panda but thought it was funny. Great animation but I actually didn't think it showed enough respect to the Chinese culture. Of course I loved The meaning of life and I don't think anyone is going to stand up and say that was any more/less realistic about...

Would you believe its actually more than 8? perhaps it is not so slowly and I am already cooked......

Well I do have the guns for it that is for sure. I am just not sure I could actually go ahead and shoot an animal absent my family needing the food......(I don't have a problem of course hunting by proxy at the local store but of course no meat for lunch) Thanks Nod Bob

Hi John, Thanks and I believe I understand. While it doesn't appear so as only the final numbers are shown and not the process of getting there I do believe my trading is getting better even in the middle of the battle. It is just not getting better enough faster. Also, its the...

Hi Prop, Thanks and very interesting. I guess I picked the title for the flow of words but I think your point is valid on all of them. Monday I am taking off the morning and maybe the whole day. I was planning on taking yesterday and today off but had a change of appointments. Either...

No good trades today Challenging day no signals all discretionary trades. CLF + 9 FSYS – 2456 INTU + 15 SII + 4 FSYS went wrong from the word go and I just closed everything else out to flatten out. FSYS went lower as the day went on and I was glad that I exited before it went down...

Has anyone used isochronic tones (or other tones) for stress / meditation? Tapping / emotional freedom techniques / acupressure Subliminal messages (like on computer screen) Motivation audios hypnosis or other materials to change the way trading / stress/ fear / greed is dealt...

I guess I would have to think that it was not at all that IB caused your first loss. What if the market would have gone the other way? would you send them the difference? I think and of course I am only guessing that you would not have. I don't mean this in a rude way but I believe that...

Just a quick follow up. I did not blow my account up. I just will not continue to trade unless I believe I have a postive edge and can execute it correctly. Currently I have a very large edge but executing it that much worse to the point of not being net positive for way to long. I am...
