Nice trading !!

Maybe I'm a 10 percent-er ?

What I do is take a non wishy washy position and I declare it with conviction. The journal helps me be accountable to myself.

Thanks, but it wasn't me .. the market made me do it.

you could do a little better here yourself rather posting hindsight chart with big down automated arrows & MA's

Could be---most things in life are 90/10. Ask yourself this question---"Out of every ten restaurants that I have been in, how many have stood out with exemplary cleanliness, great food, friendly, efficient and focused wait staff?" If you say more than one, you are not being honest with yourself.

took a bit at 9.50 for + 6, stop at 6.75 on the remains and will take some more if at 13.50

+4, +6, +10 with a lone runner remaining with an 8.25 stop ... we'll see if we get back to the HOD or higher.

the envy is of the successful trades,

Is that why you've not once commented on the multiple +10 and +20 point trades I've posted here but you did feel the need to call out the one -4 point trade you could find?

Long signal here is strong enough to take intraday profits in my opinion.

Buy1Sell2 said:
Unlkely in my view that we would make new daily highs before the end of the day. Could happen, but unlikely. Sure there is a bounce off the bottom right now.

hmmm---long signal called correctly and perhaps will make my prediction false. --Interesting---Staying short with position trade.

I've said many times why I don't do calls. If the charts mean nothing to you then don't look at them.

I typically don't say nice trade as the journal is an accountability to oneself. As far as the 4 point loss, I simply asked if there was slippage for my own info as I am curious to depth etc. --I will occasionally kid folks who have jumped on me first about a wrong trade. --I am in the 10 percent but as all, do experience some schadenfreude.---I am the most transparent trader on the board.
