Hi Matcha, It's great to hear from you again! Congratulations on your achievements and the right direction moving forward for your trading. I know you will succeed with flying colors. And thanks for your time and generosity to write and to share this wonderful journal. I have...

Hi Matcha, You did excellent this week! Very consistent trade selections and great defensive plays all around. Great job! Have a nice weekend! All the best to you! --po

Hi Matcha, Yes, today was volatile. It did give me a lot of opportunities to practice my trend trading setups. It was a good learning experience. The trends changed hands a few times. I traded more times than yesterday. Net +2.25pts. --po

Hi Matcha, Awesome trade #1. You were right that it wasn't an easy hold (need to go through some wiggles...) But you did great and scored big! I traded a few more times today. 6 trades, net +3.50 pts. --po

Hi Matcha, It was a with-trend (1st PB) setup on the 1 minute chart. I noticed a divergence between the price and the stochastic on the 3 min and 1 min chart which followed with a nice trend reversal at around 12:00 noon pst. --po

Hi Matcha, You did well nonetheless. Very nice PnL. I see no problem that you took a couple more trades today. Those were all the setups according to your plan, right? If you see them show up as high probability setups, take them rather than trying to limit yourself to the number of...

Nice trades Matcha! I also took 3 trades today. +0.50pts. Continue to work on my exits and let the profit runs... --po

Hi Matcha, Congrats to another week of very solid performance! The largest winner:loser ratio was very impressive. Excellent defensive play. I didn't do well today. 3 "marginal" trades, -3.00pts. I need to stay out of narrow range trading and exercise tighter stops just like the way you...

Hi Matcha, Your first trade was a great one! I took 2 trades this morning at around your trade #1. I entered at the H1 setup a bit earlier and held through till H2. I got out for +0.25 pt instead of holding on to it. Then I re-entered again at the next pullback but again I did not hold on to...

Hi Matcha, Your 3rd Trade was awesome! I was busy for the most part of the day. Traded 2 times in the morning, net +0.50 pts. --po

Hi Matcha, You did better than me. :) I made 4 trades, all b/e trades +0.25 pts. for the day. Still working on my stops and exits. --po

Hi Matcha, You did good to trade less and played defense very well! It's a narrow range day especially the 2nd half. I took 2 trades today. Lost 1 pt. each for a total of -2 pts. Leaning from my mistakes and try to avoid trading in low volume narrow ranges in the future. All the best...

Hi Matcha, Congrats! Another very solid week for you. Very nice PnL. Excellent "avg # of trades per day", winrate and winner:loser ratio. Most importantly, I see you have a lot more confidence in yourself and in control of both the entries and the exits. An A+ for your discipline. I wish...

Hi ND, HaHa! Indeed today was a very narrow range day during the RTH. It was a bit of a struggle for me. I used to do a lot worse in days like this. I hope GS will send me a private memo next time so I will take the day off! :) :) I am with you that Matcha did not show any weakness at all...

Hi Matcha, Today was a day of learning for me also. Took 4 trades, b/e at +0.25 pts. Lots of work needs to be done on the exits. Best of trading to you tomorrow! --po

Hi Matcha, Similar situation for me today. Took 3 trades, all scratched out for a net of +0.25 pts! --po

Hi Matcha, Congrats! You took some of the best setups today. I agree with you the first missions are to fine tune on entries and most importantly to be comfortable with cutting losses short. You are on track on both fronts! I made 2 trades also today. Made 1/2 of your PnL, +1.50 pts...

Hi Matcha, A very solid week for you! Keep up the good work! Have a nice weekend! --po P.S. Traded 4 times also today. -1.00 pt.

Hi Matcha, I know I broke my rule when I couldn't resist the temptation yesterday when I saw the nice trendline signal. :( I am going to make a pact with myself to follow my plan to only do PBs for the next 3 months. No more excuses. :( I like what you said about ES always have "the...

Hi Matcha, Very nice Long trade. I had the same Long at the same time, but I didn't hold it long enough, got out when that next red bar appeared! I did poorly today for not following my trading plan. Net for the day -2 pts. I tried something new earlier in the morning, picking "reversals"...
