Agreed. ES couldn't hold 3200 today ? Pathetic.Premature..............
You're literally putting words in my mouth. I have never said I'm constantly nervous. I'm specifically referring to points in time where I'm uncertain about the market moves.
But sure. If the risk/reward is defined - you'd sure prefer the reward, right?
And risk is relative too. If your bet size is 0.1% of a large sum of money you don't even need - then that's quite different from risking 2-3 % per trade on a smaller account of your hard earned savings.
At the end of the day - my call for today was right, but I actually got spiked out for a 5 point profit.
And that's the difference between actually calling and trading. The call is always right. Real exits and entries is where the rubber meets the road.
Agreed. ES couldn't hold 3200 today ? Pathetic.
NQ ? PA simply wild.

50% of your posts you state that you`re "nervous"... tells me you`re riddled with anxiety.... & that your RR is not defined.
Your % demonstration is irrelevant, fyi... your defined RR is what you define it to be.
We closed at the low of the day... how were you right? Focus more on making money vs being right!
You verbally hedge every single call you make rather than state it with conviction.... " we should go up from here but good chance we`ll go down too".... Show a little conviction & stand behind your call... that may be the nucleus to the nervousness & anxiety right there...
Taking a shot at Relentless because he trades smaller & just starting out is a bit weak... I didn`t know you were swinging 20 & 40 lots & that Only your money was hard earned?
Careful B1. Artificial intelligence hasn't come quite far enough yet to keep up with the vernacular of the "#1 financial blog on the world-wide intrawebs".Barn Burner Tomorrow!!

A collection of about 3/4 of the posted trades since I started the 'close your eyes and go long because of the FED' experiment. Got bored of quoting posts. No multi quote feature on this site?
Anyway, think i'm gonna end the experiment early. Will probably close my remaining long tomorrow on a likely bounce for a loss. Maybe around 3200 or so.
My plan was for the free FED money to possibly stop flowing either on Fed day (today), or more likely at the election time
I'm just not sure that we aren't really due a decent retracement. I mean, it's been nothing short of astronomical. Many gaps below.
I mean, I still DO expect us to just drift up and up and likely get close too or exceed the all time highs soon enough as they continue to throw trillions at it, and i'm sure i'm leaving hundreds of points on the table, but it's getting to the point I'm finding it hard to go against logic up here! It was already 'too high' when I started this experiment! (I know that's bad in trading. Especially in this market, but there you go!)
And no, I haven't made a tonne of money from this! All done on micros. 3 max.
