It is possible you are starting to get hard drive problems when they are over 3 years old. Please note that no software can actually fix a failing hard drive. My suggestion is to back up all your important data, install a new hard drive, and do a clean reinstall of Windows and all your...

You totally miss the point that she is trying to make, which is that a stop should tell you that your original decision was probably wrong. Now if you were wrong, the market could then move in the opposite direction, and you can get in and make back your loss. Or you could be trapped in chop...

Looking at my 10 min chart, I see reasons why I should not be looking for shorts. Instead all we had was a pullback to the EMA line which did not break like I thought I was seeing on a smaller time frame chart. And, you are right, I had actually drawn fib lines, and we bounced off the 50%...

I shorted 1094.50 with a small stop since it broke small support. Got stopped out, and reversed trade to long at 1095.50 and made 2 points of profit, but ends up only total around 1 point due to my 1st stop out. Basically, we got a false breakout to get shorts trapped, and then the market...

I kind of like these longer term trades where I can just check the charts every 5 hours or so rather than the scalping trades which seem to create more stress by having to sit and baby sit the trade.

Trade closed for now for 30 pips of profit while I sleep. Will look at it in morning to see if I want to get back in or not. I guess only issue is that in future I need to determine if I want to scale out of these trades or just do what I did and keep it smaller size and close out fully.

My target for my short EUR/GBP trade is around 100 pips. No stops and targets are for large movement trades, not doing many contracts prevents account destruction. On the last ES trade, it was a scalp and I had a stop and target. I should admit that the forex trades are given to me by a...

I went from - $ 190 to positive $ 115. I think I may stick with es and forex for now instead of trading CL and NG which seem to like f ing me.

Good trade analysis. I took a look at that price and had a short entry too, so I went 1103 short and exited at 1101 for 2 points of profit. I am now positive for the day on my futures trades, yea :-). All forex trades are also positive so far.

Break even day on my futures trades. All ES and CL trades were profitable, but I got chopped up in NG since I was right on my long position, but when I got stopped out I reversed and got stopped out again. Looking back at lessons learned, I need to wait for my indicators to indicate a...

I expect more follow through to the downside. Also they are laying off clean up workers with well capped, don't expect that report to be that great either. TA confirming negative reports, stocks overbought, just start of move, we will close under 1100, and stay there next time.

Vol will confirm after the fact. If we close negative today especially closer to the bottom, I expect fear selling on Wed. I am not expecting a major sell off today.

Advances to Declines are pretty bearish so shorts not feeling any pain. Too much technical damage to long positions, no reports coming out to justify a reversal.

I would consider trend to reverse to long if market got back to 1112, and that could be a stop during the day for a longer term short position.

On my chart, market started off overnight around 1115, and I should have added to my short there but I don't averaging into positions anymore for the most part, but I did have another signal to go short there. Then LL 1108. LH 1113 LL 1106 LH 1108 LL 1103.75

I see market going there easy and maybe even lower. Also, it does help to read reports sometimes. Consumer sentiment was poor, and market could not make another higher high yesterday which was an indication that TA agreed with the report so that was why I bought the put and shorted ES. I...

I disagree with you, there were no HL, only LH. To prevent me from guessing what is a HL or LH, I use an indicator to print on my chart these symbols so there is no human error anymore on my part.

Final target was hit, and makes me feel good about my analysis of the market. I have to say when I 1st did this trade with real money and thought it was sim, I did not feel any emotion. When I saw it was real, I am glad I did not kill it. The sim made more money than the real since I did...

The sim so far is making profit, and is scaling out contracts. My stop was around 1110 and my final target on this trade is 1106, but at this point the stop has moved down and already profitable trade with the scale outs.
