Sweet...I also trade the semi-conductors a lot. -FastTrader

I say keep it open to ES, NQ and YM because I trade all 3 depending on market conditions. Yesterday, had trades in all 3. Today had trades in YM and NQ. -FastTrader

I'm in! :D -FastTrader

Cool! Setup a new post for tomorrow when you get a chance. I'm relatively new to trading, but I will try to participate. -FastTrader

And I think you should do it for ES/NQ/YM Points so that small-accounts can participate as well. -FastTrader

Instead of a MONTH, I think you should start a Daily challenge. Start a new post everyday titled with the date like: "9/25/2003 CHALLENGE" and post real-time trades during the day. Start a new post for 9/26/2003; that way if there's any trolling/BSing on anyone's part, it will be left behind...

I will try that. Actually, I have tried it...sometimes I will bracket and take a walk. More often than not, my target gets hit. Will try this on my next trade. -FastTrader

I have an idea on where it "should" go according to my charts, but the market is full of uncertainty. Just because I "think" it will go up 20 pts from my entry, doesn't mean it has to....so I book profits at the first sign of weakness which is sometimes on a 30-tickbar chart. I think even if I...

Yes. -FastTrader

True....I don't think my stops are the problem here. It's a psych issue with ME....I always exit too early. Also, after I have a couple of losses, I'm very eager to book profits (as small as they may be) just to get my confidence back up or something. That's what happened today. In the A.M...

I think my current stops are close to what I'm looking for; i.e. they get me out without too much trouble, and I generally do not get stopped out of a good trade. I exit myself with small profits...so it seems the problem is not the stop-loss, but my exit only. -FastTrader

Is this on IRC? How do I check this place out? PM me some info Damir. Thanks, -FastTrader

Question to the experienced traders....are you guys familiar with Yahoo messenger? Would you be up for posting trades real-time in a private Yahoo messenger chat room?? I'd be up for posting all my entries/exits real-time. It's much easier to do in a chat-room than on a forum. Please PM me...

taodr, unfortunately, my account isn't big enough to trade without stops. What kind of stop-loss would you recommend? In my eyes, it needs to be set where if you're wrong, you get out with minimal damage, but wide enough where if you're right, you don't get shaken out of your trades. My stops...

I'd say 90% of the time, my entries are great...it's the exits where I screw up! I watch the 4 time frames on the YM when trading; 30tick, 1min, 5 min, and 10 min. I also have 10 min charts of the ES and NQ up at the same time, and 3 min chart of the TRIN. I use very tight stops. Normally 10...

I need serious help with my exits! I was long YM at 9330 (at that time, Low of day was 9326), exited at 9334...OMG...what a crappy exit! Oh...here's another one. Shorted NQ at 1346.5, and when did I cover.....1346 for a whopping tick! This is just sad! :( -FastTrader

Mecro, I don't know what prop firm you trade with, but there are alternatives out there which will allow you to trade any market you wish. If you're trading 500-1K sh, I would suggest trading liquid Naz stocks. -FastTrader

No, it is not feasable. Good luck. -FastTrader
