I know you don't owe anyone anything, but I'm sure you also want either the respect here, or just the belief in yourself. Why else keep posting over and over again what you are doing or seeing? I also know you are sometimes busy right after you enter a trade, but lets face it, you never show the trades that don't work. Every trade shown is after it has gone into profit and you can move your stop to BE and lock in a target. All the other stop outs probably didn't even get to locking in a BE trade. Now I agree that you're busy in the moment, and posting on ET isn't the priority, but why not show a chart at the end of the day with all the trades?

Once again, I'm not wanting to be disrespectful but I think understand the reason. If you show all the trades, it might look like you're just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks. Maybe its actually a good strategy to be honest because we never know what trade will work and which one won't (and the market loves to fake us out many times before the ultimate move). If you don't take a trade that sets up, you miss the profit. And just because 2 or 3 longs might fail doesn't mean the 4th one can't be a big winner. But I also suspect that you know that some people might consider this gambling or over trading, so you're reluctant to show this. Maybe by showing it, you're also having to realize yourself trading is more about luck than just skill. And maybe this realization will hurt because you want to believe that with enough analysis, bad trades can be eliminated and good trades can have a high win rate. So reading the market well as you call it, and having trades mostly be profitable isn't just about money, but also the need to feel a sense of accomplishment.

All I'm saying is that there is a reason why the trade posts that everyone here makes are very selective. @poopy does exactly this same shit. He will only ever post when he is up 3, 4 or 5% on the day. But when he doesn't post for a week, does that mean those are losing days? We never know.... but he clearly only wants the bragging rights. No doubt he is a good trader, and he is much better at this game than the rest of us, but this is exactly why the rest of us have to be very honest with ourselves because we still have a long way to go.

Still not sure what you actually want from me or other posters for that reason. This is just a casual chatroom where people shoot the shit about the market. I never made any claims that I can't back up. I'm not selling anything.

Maybe it's time for a break.

Tough one! Shakeout with an overshoot, then the rally into the close, which it is giving back AH. Much respect to @schizo.

This week for me is Sim Algo. It did 5 trades for 33 ticks, and was done before that big drop. All systems are working so far with the exception of getting external notifications working.
Next week is Algo live if we do not have any technical issues.

Manual trading was mostly trashing for 47 trades +44 ticks after comms. Trying out an Xbox Elite controller. So far, latency to the exchange is still overwhelming the issue, so maybe it will just prevent the Long or Short mistakes. It does have a game feeling though, which is not a good thing.
