Quote from Fast_Trader:


You're right, that really does have a negative effect on my trading. I haven't tried using stop and target orders to get me out of trade yet. I might try that on a simulator tomorrow. Use a 30 pt stop loss, and a 60 pt target so 1:2 R/R. Let see how it does on the simulator. If I have a good win rate with this technique, I will start doing it with real $.

I'm at work right now so no clue where the market is, but I'm trying this on the simulator today.

Went Long YM @ 9470 with a 30 pt stop loss and 60 pt profit target. Anyone know whether I've been stopped out yet? :D

Well, we had a double-bttom on the 1 min chart at 9449 and now it's creeping up slowly.... ranging between 9465-9470

FastTrader, you can't login to TWS from work?
I'm a software developer and have 3 PCs here at work, but I'm sure my company wouldn't want me trading from work :(

Done zilch with YM today. I'm edgy, maybe they'll sell off maybe not.
Yea, same here. With my real$ account, I actually shorted YM at 9483. Doubled position at 9492, but exited with a scratch at 9487.
