Columbus 5 Day ES Intraday Trading Exploration

Joined you guys. Shorted at 1189.75. Stop one point a way.

I used to be a trend trader. It's not what it crack up to be. But the market is pretty weak.

Well, just got out of my short at 1189.50
Trend is still short but there will be a correction i think.

This is the smartest posting of this thread!
This sentence is more important than you probably realize. Reread 100 times the last three words and try to figure out the importance of the trend.

Actually when I am tired of fighting trend, might be the sign that everyone else is giving up also.

Forget it, I stop my trading and rethink. I am not thinknig straight. Good luck with your short. -2 pt.

I closed my short and i'm still waiting to short again. I have the discipline to wait till the right moment, and even if i don't go short again i don't care.
 
Thanks spike. I am gonna go back to stick to my plan. Obviously trend is not my friend. Lose -1.50 pt from the stupid trend trades which is outside of my trading plan. Total loss -2 pt.
 
You let somone on a chat board influence your trading.

Are you sure that you are ready to post a journal like this and not have it influence your trading? I''m sure that posting a journal is not part of your "system" - or is it?

I would appreciate comments at the end of the day but not during.

Now we see why he posted this in his first post. Other traders
can influence your trading plan and mess it up.

One more thing: The trend is your friend untill it ends...

Then it kicks your butt... :(
