Good trading except for the last one, with market about to close, I would not be going short again.

I missed a setup due to the fact that once I am out of a trade, I no longer like to look at the charts. To help with this problem, I will add some price alerts to keep me more focused. These alerts will create sound from my speakers. Hopefully, will work on the programming today to get it...

Did 1 long but got into position a little late so did less contracts and went for lower target. I made profit, can only think that I just was not fast enough and should have used a market order instead of trying to get in using limits, or should have just worked a little faster confirming the...

Small loss today $ 68.00 totally my fault. 1 loss, 1 win. Did not wait for confirmation signal, and did not short at correct point on my chart. Both trades were shorts, but 1st was way too early, and hit my stop loss. On 2nd short, I was looking for more points, but when market went back...

The good news is that I am not as stupid as this person. Can you believe after building up a business with celebrity clients, to destroy your rep and end up in jail. She could have sold the business for $ 300,000 if she was hard up for cash...

Now I feel stupid, I went long CL, and am up a lot, but it was in sim. I guess this is why people stop going back to sim after making money on real since you feel extremely stupid for missing out on all that profit when taking a great setup.

I just made 10 ticks going long EUR real money, so getting 4 ticks is just noise. Think I may go back to sim for rest of day, since yesterday was a small loss on 3 stupid trades till I got back in the zone and starting trading perfect again, and don't feel like giving back my nice profit of...

Ended today with small profit and only 1 trade to the short side on ES. Was waiting for a long trade, but never got the signal. The good news is that I was able to understand my system enough not to take a long trade when the market kept going down in the afternoon. I guess I did not take a...

Good trading, you are in the zone today. I took a short from 95.25 to 94.25, but am not able to reverse my bias that easily. I was looking for a bigger fall since I usually get out too early, so wanted to wait for a much lower price to go long.

Should have been obvious that market was going down when I turned on CNBC and those retards from fast money all said that the market was going to make more gains later in the day and this was when ES was at 1079.50

Very good day for me today and sun. Up $ 100 Sun and $ 150 today. I went long cl on sun, and today, and long once on es today. The only problem on 1st CL trade was I got out too soon, I should have left my target alone, so its something I still need to work on.

My understanding from when I programmed is that you set a global variable at the top so that all sub routines can have access to it rather than redefining it each time you have to pass the data. Back testing is pretty useless since it tells you what happened in the past. However, you do need...

This is why once you are in a trade with a stop and target, you will less logically then before. Taking a position is usually against logic. For example, in the morning, a master forex trader told me that the report was good news, so I went long ES, and was stopped out for a small loss...

I wanted to go long, but market was close to close, and while I had 1 of my indicators turn up, the other did not, and I have found that if I did not wait for 2 confirmations, my trade was less likely to win, also, near close it did not give me long enough for trade to develop if I did want to...

Ok, maybe I can contact someone there on how to do this or if they have some information on their website.

EUR was closed out at a 20 tick profit. I was alerted to the EUR trade by a forex moderator from a room. He closed the trade at BE, but as I have noted, once you are in a trade, its better to leave stops and targets alone since you are less rational while real money is on the line. I don't...

Long AUG SPY call option, long EUR.

Put I bought yesterday was closed recently. I went long es futures near bottom, and only got small profit since I think used the wrong automated strategy, but so far good day, up on both options and futures.

I did not get a chance to update this, but all puts were closed at a profit, and then re-bought just 1 when market bounced up. I wish I just trusted myself to hold some es or cl over night too, but at least this call was good.

Considering that I was able to turn a negative day into a positive day, I think it was that during the 1st short trade, I got a long signal, so instead of just letting my trade get stopped out. I started to kill the contracts. I did not reverse long although that would have been a good trade...
