Quote from osho67:

I have tried AHG style trading (paper trading). I have tried now for 3-4 months.

I get tired and exhausted . Cant keep the concentration and feel drained out. Feel sleepy as well.

I have accepted that maybe I am not suited for day trading. Too much demanding for me.

I would like to give it a try to trade keeping position open from few days to 1-2 weeks. Still using AHG style.

Can this be done? Please give me some guidance-anybody who is doing this way or has some experience how this way can be done.

I am mostly trying NQ, ESTX50 and Z (FTSE100)

All help much appreciated. If I can trade a bit longer term, quality of my life will improve much and I can do lots of other interesting things.

Thanks again

You sure can. You can use daily as anchor and 10k as entry for the NQ. Just be aware that you need to use larger stops but your rewards will also be greater.

For $30 you can get backfill from IQFeed for QT which includes daily charts up to 6 months or so and 10 days of intraday backfill for the emini's. Sign up from the QT website.
 
I traded like I have a brain today !!!!

Just did the Sim, but made about 30 NQ points.
That's good for me, especially on Fridays, which were my arch-nemesis.

I don't what the deal is with me, but some days it seems easy and I can see everything clearly. Other days I just feel confused when looking at the charts and end up trading poorly...............................until the day is over.............then once again I can see everything I should have done.

It's almost like my own brain is trying to sabotage me.

With all of my accounts in the past I would almost always find it easy to make money at the beginning, then as my account would grow, I would start to feel confused and start losing until my money was all gone. It's like my brain doesn't want to succeed for some reason.

Whatever it was though that was causing the problem has been killed today. I killed it, chopped it up into little pieces, and fed it to the hogs. Good riddance !

IB TWS chart will give you a year of daily data. More than enough for swing trading purpose.

Why not simply decrease leverage dramatically and trade something like SPYs off longer time frames? Problem solved :)

Have a look at this - looks/sounds like a
very simple 3 bar reversal system
