Worse: Green Party :p

+$509 Day +$1022 Week +$1579 Month Had a couple pre-market ES trades cancel each other out for -$9.60. After the open, saw the -6 line pulled far below the lower channel line and decided not to short yet because it always moves back near the EMA first. Suddenly, the market spiked...

+ $509 Have a great weekend!

Yeah it's a big problem. I tried 3 times to transfer my hard-earned sim bucks to my live account and no go. It's not as if I;m asking for that sim seed capital, you know??? I just want what I earned!!! Contacting the SEC as we speak...

BENNIE-BABY!!! Nailed it!!! Aren't you glad you hurled those extra cars??? BANG!!!

I'm looking at a 3-month daily chart of ES, which indeed left a complete engulfing candle to the long side. However, price is just beneath the 20-period EMA, where it found late day resistance. A break through it tomorrow should take us back to the 1080 zone, but a failure would leave us with a...

Bennie-cat, no worries! This is but a blip as it tries to claw its way out of yesterday's abyss. It's about to hit its head against the 20 MA and be knocked unconscious. Next stop 1033. Hurl another 100 sim cars at your existing position, right here, right now!

+ $65 Just as I was about to log off for the day I saw that ES had left a lower high and decided I could get a scalp to the lower channel line for 2-3 pts. Short @ 1061.50 and when I went to put in my stop above the lower high I ended up left-clicking instead of right-clicking, which...

+ $65 I ended up doing a last minute scalp on ES when just as I was about to sign off for the day, I saw it had left a lower high. I screwed up, too, left clicking instead of right-clicking to put in my stop, so had to get right back in and ended up with less than the 2 pts I took off the...

No live trades today. CL sim all day, every strategy I could think of. Solid return of $2350.

No live trades today.

I know he frequently averages positions, so I'm not sure how he handles that on his "top/bottom trade" posts. I'll say this: I've been sim trading 50-100 contract positions on some of the big swingers like GMCR, ESRX, AMZN, and AAPL over the past month just to get a feel for strategies like...

Last time we had a "buyable dip", the fed was streaming comforting bites across the wire as fast as I could consume them. Today I noticed today the PPT was nowhere to be found :p

Zanek, here are two journals well worth reading: Cowboy trading at its best: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=150396 (When Neke had drawdowns, the haters were rooting for him to "blow up". He's left them in the dust again and again.) Disciplined trading at its...

Bwo! You got it! Well played!

Phil, I'm struggling with the same thing as the OP and your comment above encapsulates a (still) major problem for me. My psychology is improving by the day thanks to a lot practice in my sim account. It all comes down to experience, screen time and confidence. And you really do have to draw a...

I plan to push this to limit and if it's meant to be I'll die with my boots on. I was a couch potato for 20 years, took up futbol at 39, ended up on an A level team that won the local league championship in 2007. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, chose clean living over chemo and am...

And a P/E of 12 compared to AMZN's P/E of 70. Don't you just love irrational exuberance?

This journal has become such a fantabulous source of EXTREME-HIGH ENERGY information AND entertainment that I propose our TOP CAT start charging admission.

zanek, when I placed half my trading account with IB and started trading with a DOM, I made so many errors it was also (almost) comical. So like duhmentor says, when you start with a new platform, have your emergency plans in place, and if possible practice with a sim account for a while. As...
