Today was one of my best days. Positive 33P. 1st trade I went long on a break out. Trade went against me, and I added 2 contracts on 1st minor support level with stop below. I took 1 contract out at BE. I then took 1 contract out at small profit. However, the 2 other contracts came out...

Very good job. I wish I followed my rules today. Will try to do better Wed.

down today -50p. At this point with not too many days left I am swinging for large profits and while some of my contracts are hitting targets the rest get stopped out. It also did not help that we were in a large range and on one trade I got into a short only for the market to reverse and stop...

Thanks NoDoji. I actually think before I start each day some of the stuff pm me about targets and trading your edge each time for each setup. You are one of the few traders here I respect.

Thanks.

Today, I really should not have canceled my 2nd contract, instead left it to go to target or stop. From the above results I am probably not trading enough contracts. Believe it or not I have had weeks where I had no losing trades, but last week was not one of them.

Ok, I will post it later today. Have not made much money but at least i am still positive.

Finally did not lose money on 1st trade. I went long 2 contracts. Market went my way, then started to go against me. I 1st moved my stop up. Then as market moved against me, I moved stop back down to give trade room to breath. I was going to add a 3rd contract with a tight stop but it...

If you are doing 1-2 contracts, Sierra Charts does come with 3 preset trade management functions in the DOM. So you can select 1 of them and then manually change the targets and stops. Then on the DOM, you can select limit, stop and even market orders by right clicking on the side. The...

Well, a week into trading and finally got my custom NT indicator to function correctly in Sierra Charts. I also got the correct time and days of the week to show at bottom of chart. I also got a price alert sound to work in case I am not looking at the chart. Also, after spending an hour...

If anyone wants me to provide some instructions on how to get Sierra Charts up and running for trading, please reply, and I will summarize what I learned from e-mailing Sierra Chart support.

When I started trading CL had bounced down off of a resistance level and started to chop around. I was doing long trades and getting stopped out. 1 of my stops was too close to where I wanted to go long, but was away from the computer and it got hit. So was down around 40 p. Finally, was...

1st trade was error short market entry on DOM. I was trying to right click on DOM to set an order type. Instead it got me in on market short and of course I got stopped out. Figured out I needed to right click on the blank side of the DOM not where you see price information. So 2nd order...

Ok went from negative p44 ($ 440) to positive p10 ($100) today. Fought the overbought trend. Then caught a counter trend a few times. Finally, went long the main trend but just 1 contract. At this point the trend has either ended going up and will reverse or it will continue. However, I...

I logged into TST, but it does not look like Tue's report is up yet.

Ok,, under Trade menu, I checked show order fills and looks like my last position hit my target so don't know if they had to flatten anything or not.

Thank You. Well, more technical problems. Internet died and cable died due to service outage. Called CTS and told them that my internet was down, and asked them to flatten positions. I am writing this now at a Star Bucks. I am logged back into Sierra Charts. According to the software I...

I actually got this to work with a built in trade on DOM. However, my new issue is that I can't find a Price Action indicator for Sierra Charts like I use in NT. I want to just use Sierra Charts, so I was able to recreate all of my indicators for the most part except this one. Price Action...

Down just 17 ticks for the day, but was just using 1 contract trades. Going to work on automation.
