Stopped and light short.

Long YM 34110 into the close. Will start to lighten my position if it goes down 40 pts and lower.

Long here again for YM. Similar stop.

No exact target, just above yesterday's close. Stopped out yes. Posting calls here is not so great...felt myself more emotionally attached...I do not recommend it!!

Long YM 33790 into the close. 30 pt stop.

For the mental part check out articles from trading psychologist like Rande Howell, Brett Steenbarger, Andrew Menaker. In poker there is a defined start and end to each game so your losses are limited and you have time to regroup. In trading, only you define the start and end for each trade. A...

"Where there is anger there is always pain underneath." -Eckhart Tolle The guy just took a beating, your attitude is unnecessary. To the OP: you need to take full responsibility for the loss (if you haven't already done so). You made the bet so you should honor the bet, good or bad. As for the...

Happened again today...placed a conditional order (when price was around 11580) to "Submit sell order when 'Default' >= 11598". Executed 1 point from the high. Edit: for Emini DOW YM

Yesterday evening I placed the following conditional order: "Submit Sell order for Emini DOW YM @ 11675 when 'Default' >= 11675" It executed and it appears to be the exact high of the day (so far). So the opposite of stop hunting occurred to me today. I remember reading in "Trading in the...

The other day I read an article on Yahoo! that said that last week's net positon in ES for "small traders" was -7500(I don't remember the exact number), the highest since April 2003 . What I meant to ask was: where can I find the net position of index futures for those classified as "small...

Is this information published anywhere for YM, ES, and NQ? Thanks.

Quite frankly, these last 2 days f'ed me up in the wallet but more importantly in the head. I was feeling quite confident just before too...no stops in place...shame on me. All of last months profits gone in 2 days *poof*! I'm gonna have to regroup...

Happiness depends on how well your needs or expectations are met. The needs and expectations for each person is different since everything is relative. If you have no expectations, you cannot be disappointed. True happiness comes from inside. Which means nothing outside can affect it. Such...

Hey, I'm going through a similar experience at this time! One major difference though is that I've been trading on and off for over 10 years (as a net loser). In the last few months though, I have been consistently profitable and it's like there's a shift in the way I see the market. My...

I do believe that using a systematic approach will yield consistent results (at least for a while). By mimicking what the top sales people do (i.e. call more people, work longer hours, say the same things) you ended up with similar results. This does make sense to me. If that's what NLP is then...

Some statements raise some obvious flags: So if a new born child is put through the exact same regiment as a Michael Jordan, Warren Buffett, or Yo-Yo Ma then they too will possess the same extrodinary skills? I doubt it. This is a contradiction. If something is autonomous it cannot be altered by...
