    NoDoji's Day Trading Log

    Buy S, your goal is to look for a breakout at R. By buying S you are positioned well to take advantage of a BO at R. If R stops price, stay with it unless it breaks under 50% retrace. Reverse the procedure for shorts. What Hog said above will be the difference between making gas money...

    Sounds like you are making progress. You are projecting more focus and awareness. Just my opinion, if you plan on trading 1 car live then that is fine. If you plan on more size, then you should sim trade that size.

    If I may be so bold, here is another test of discipline should you choose to accept; Monday, pick one stock or ES or YM or NQ or whatever you pick, and take only one trade on whatever instrument you chose. Wait for the best trigger and jump on it. Manage the trade in whatever manner you...

    Yes, LESS IS MORE. 2 things from someone that knows nothing, 1. New Rule. Sticky on monitor. Check positions at 3:30PM. Go flat EOD. Pretty simple. 2. Less is more. You are doing Waaaaay too much. Focus on the one main trade of the day. Focus on dollars, not pennies. Focus...

    NoDoji's Day Trading Log

    First and foremost you need to work on discipline. You need to take my challenge to trade max 3 trades per day all ES, no stocks. For this and next week (9 trading days in a row). When you want 5 cookies have only 2. When you want a coke have a glass of water. When you want to watch...

    The chArt of Deception

    The green are the highs, the red are the lows, the yellow are the daily open. The last 2 boxes are legs up. I would stay with the trend and look for a 3rd leg up. Edit: especially since the close was above a prev swing high.

    MC, How do you determine support/resistance? Pivots? Swings?

    Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy

    The buzzie bee (trader) goes from flower to flower (trade to trade) taking a little nectar from each flower (taking a little cash from each trade). Mirror show what I must know (look at the chart in reverse). Just a guess.

    RN, Just one more question tonight, do you place a stop order in the market at the time of your trade or do you pull the plug manually? Thanks and best of luck

    Aren't we trying to identify, quantify, and define a high probability setup for a profitable trade? If you have 'one' brain cell then I have 'half' brain cell which is also exhausted. Happy Trading

    Stops, a good starting point might be a 2-3 point stop. Move it to BE when the move=risk. Move it to profit=risk when the move=2xrisk. When move=3xrisk think about trailing a stop at profit=2xrisk. This is just one way to look at it. Another way might be to move the stops to S/R levels.

    From reading what Nod writes my impression is that she has learned the skill and also understands it. The hesitation to pull the trigger IMO is caused by the emotional or psychological barrier of being wrong or losing $ that IMO can only be conquored by trading real $. Regarding her skill to...
