carried on trading. down 20 points on teh day, now!
9 losing trades in a row! Just kept stopping me out.
Guess I got caught in a nasty chop (you only ever know it's 'chop' after the event, though )

Still, Positive for the week I guess

 

[theapprentice]

lots more losers than winners, but green for the day, somehow.
+7.25

the aim is to have a positive p&l ( taking risks into account). so well done.

Couldn't find any entries so far today, so missed all of the fun on the crash.

I think that's great you didn't force anything. On days with big moves FOMO would kick in and I'd chase or try reversals too soon. Not pretty.

Good job !

Think the market bailed me out a bit today with some fast moves that I was lucky to be on the right side of.
It felt like it could have easily been a day where I was just continulously stopped out for losing trades. Don't feel like I have any sort of 'edge' if i'm honest. Not entirely certain anyone does!

Still, here's the jist of today. Marked the chart up myself today instead of teh usual format.

5 trades.
2 losers 3 winners
+8.75 points.

Done arrows myself as I find teh broker ones look even messier!

 

[theapprentice]

rough start.
got tricked buying that breakout for -8 points.
Had a big target, so a bigger stop than usual too
