    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Well guys, it's been an exciting ride... when I told my friend about the $850 I lost, he told me he would have gone off the deep end, but amazingly, I don't know why I'm not as frustrated as I should be. I'm not even that mad that I lost that much $ (relative to the account) which I am actually...

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Well, this sucks guys, my mom (who is now in a process of divorce with my dad) has had enough of me loosing the money that I worked for a year for. In her opinion, most of this cash should go to my college fund. Anyways, she has threatened now to call my dad and tell him to close the account...

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    In that case, I can download this book online in like a minute, and try and get through it. I mean, it can't hurt me in any way, just help. well well well, today was a "meh" kind of day. I ignored some signals, and entered on signals where I shouldn't have entered in the first place, I've got...

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Thanks, Jon + Swordsman... you are right I shouldn't be depressed, I should have learned today that when I see choppiness like this, my system can't handle it well, so I have the hardest time trying to just sit down and stay out, and that is probably something a lot of guys have trouble with

    The Disciplined Trader you mean? I think I read somewhere that the guy's writing style is almost unreadable because he over complicates things (or something) in his book.

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    lol, what I actually meant was, price can't keep still in the direction in which IM BETTING ON long enough for me to make a decent profit (come on mr market, can't you just give me, like, 5 points, pretty please?)

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Meh, missed out on my first buy signal because I took a little too long with my breakfast. If I had been there 5 min earlier I would have caught a nice move. Instead I'm down a point today because I entered when price re hit that previous buy target, except this time it didn't go the way it went...

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Well guys, although this was small beans to what I have lost in total so far ($800) I am rather pleased to say that today was my first real profitable day. I shouldn't get too excited about this, because there is still a long road ahead, but today I made 3 trades. The first two were...

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Made 1 trade so far today and made two amazing ticks. This choppiness is killing me here, it's very hard to be able to place precise trades on days like this for me, so I'm just sitting and watching for now.

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Well, for now, here's what I figure what I will do to make it easier for me psychologically. Now, I will still monitor the market each morning, but just as an insurance policy of a sort, I am now waiting for a CLEAR down or up rally day, like the one we had on friday, and then I will enter and...

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    No, I'm in the very right business. You mean to tell me that when you were starting out you NEVER EVER EVER had these nervous thoughts? I mean, there will be other opportunities today I hope where I will enter

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Well, about the stop, I have had situations where price would actually go AGAINST me for 3 points, then reverse for a great trade. Today is turning out to be bittersweet, seeing as I haven't made any trades yet and lost $0, but the only two opportunities where my system told me BUY BUY BUY I...

    Bleh... came back today to loose $45+ commish.... First trade went crappy as it hit my 3.5 stop, and the crappy thing about it is if i had just held for another -.5 pts, it would have rebounded completely and I would have been in the green. The second trade was all about pure psychology...
