Now, I've gotten to where if it takes off with out me then it just wasn't the type of trade I was looking for. I try to concentrate on waiting for my signal rather than letting the market jerk me around mentally worrying about missing the move.

Great observation,

Its taken me a long time to get to this point.. in the past I would stalk a trade and wait for my entry.. but it wouldn't come and the market would start to move in my direction so I'd jump on.. and usually get killed..

Now if I miss an entry I let it go and wait for the next.. I always say to myself there are greener pastures to come you just have to wait for them.. PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE..
 
A 10:15 long would have worked out pretty good if you had someone around to tie you up so you couldn't cover it.

Most stupid trade in about 3 months.

Why would u be glad to take a day off where we have the biggest range of the week and the volume is huge.

Its days like these that u are supposed to clean up and make your month for most traders.

Whether u were trading pullbacks breakouts whatever everything was working because market had big momo. Only people that lost were people picking the tops.
