Start in a small corner and work my way. The one thing that gave me energy and determination was thinking of "Scientist" over there in the outback and all the money he is making on the DAX, and how I would take some of it away from him if I could finish shovelling this fucken snow !!!!:D ( at least all the money he is SUPPOSED to be making:p )

Aaah, don't know about taking some off my pie man. I think you'll be biting granite there... :p

Never mind though, today wasn't that fine at all. Actually, very un-fine. I'm a bit frustrated now. I just had a week's holiday last week, yet had two breakeven days in a row (yesterday & today). I'm a bit too stressed for everything in the moment it seems. I'm now seriously thinking about taking next week off as well and flying to Bali for a holiday. No laptop, either. No books, either. No cheating. Just sun, and peace... :cool:

Right now, I'll still have to do the daily post-mortem chore though... Hours of wading through my exec logs, printing & marking charts etc... :(

Whats there to investigate? You where trying to catch a bottom when there was none. You where trying to catch a falling knife - Spare your hands and don't do it again. :)

I guess Scientist is pretty bullish since he's trying to buy bottoms. I'm quite the opposite...I try to sell the Tops :D Regardless, he makes more in trading than I do so he must be doing something right :p

I don't care about tops or bottoms, I only care about the direction an instrument is more likely to go next.

By "next", do you mean the immediate direction? Or do you focus on longer time frames like the 5-min chart?

Most of my trades are scalps of the 1 minute. I will hold for a few seconds to a few minutes. Every now and then I will try to catch a trend reversal and ride it.
