bmwhendrix vs the NQ

[bmwhendrix]

I've been at this for a while and thought I would start a thread of my NQ trading. I am part time trader, and have been for many years. One thing I miss about trading is the solitude. The mental solitude. I will not talk trading with non-traders, the gap is just too big to bridge for there to be any meaningful exchange.

So, I'll do this for a while, perhaps to learn a bit, perhaps to share a bit and hopefully make my trading a bit more enjoyable. After a while it gets a bit mechanical.

Any way, here is today.

Hey its good to see you back. I'll try and contribute also. I also trade the NQ, like you a student of ANEK although I've changed a lot in the way I trade now. I'm much more of a short exsposure time frame once in a trade. I also use other time frames other than 1000 volume. I like to look at the 5 min. and I will take a lot of my trades off of the 2 min. I also do not use any indicators.

Good to see you are still here Pacman. No indicators here either. Feel free to post on this thread.

Today I let my expectations of some big swings after FOMC announcements sway what I was really seeing. I kept entering chop waiting for the breakout. Looks like tomorrows news kept a lid on things today.

Most of days move was before market opened. Kind of rangey day.

Positive for the week. Not much to say.

I am having a problem with one of my computers not showing commissions. I'll try to fix it over the weekend.

Missed the move down. Not much of a chaser I guess. Met goal, so calling it a day.
