ES Journal - 2015

Brian, if I may say something, before I say it I will state that I do appreciate to 'each his own' way of trading. I guess I would like to talk about psychology behind trading. I did a fair share of scalping and now I look at it as a mature male would look upon himself back when he was 16 years old. As one matures he learns to appreciate things done in a slower pace, perhaps through slowing down internal mechanisms lol. Nevertheless, when I see you initiate a good trade and then see you pull out before it reaches maturity, I remember myself years ago. I probably sound quite antique now, I am 40 :), so not quite there, yet on the way for sure. Now, I don't know what system/strategy you use, but I believe sincerely that you would improve greatly by perhaps researching what B1S2 keeps talking about, Ok jokers will start creeping out of the woodwork by now. I am not preaching him to be a guru, but he did help me, for free should I add, by simply sharing. He isn't here to be worshipped, I think this man is here to just share and help and learn too. Again, I don't know what you use for entries or exits, I merely suggest opening up to signals on larger time frames and let your profits run and not feeling like you have to close a good trade just because some bigger gorillas started shaking the tree, it ain't necessarily gonna fall on top of you. All the best mate.
 
+9 NQ points on the day then.
Market was chopping me up today after the open.
Not happy with my trading today, but a profit's a profit.
Off to the pub for the evening. Good luck
Positive results are good. Reviewing the nq chart from yesterday, it did look like there was a buy signal on the 15 min chart at 4443 and a sell signal on the 15 min chart at 4452 which would also net 9 points. Do you concur?
 
romik,

all too easy to repeat mantra 'let winner run' but what does that mean? let it run to where? where do you take profit when captured a raging winner? why there? the corollary to let it run is 'let it run more'? what to do with ubiquitous retrace? should get out @BE? do i need larger stop out?

just few of qiestions that must be worked out before the cliche...

'let winner run'

:)
