Yup and nothing from you. Be proud of yourself. You talk a good story. So you can trade nat gas. for a day and be profitable.....good for you.

I'll post live trades if that's what you wish.
 
Quote from slapshot:

I'd be willing to bet, without even looking at any charts, that if you look at about a 30 or 60 minute chart and the trend of the same, you'd see that you were fighting a strong uptrend.

That is the problem trading only on small minute timeframes - lots of headfakes.

From your chart, it also looks like you had a pretty good chance to scratch or even reverse to long - so the question is: "Did you trade what you were thinking instead of what you were seeing?"

(i.e. did you let predetermined bias about market direction blind you to what was happening?)

WOW! what a post.. haha the simplest is the hardest to see! thanks. I have been trying to figure out this very problem and i have a system and i like it, it workssome days. and i just today backtested it under the 60 minute time frame and voila there was the problem. Much better results in a larger time frame. thanks for asking the question and thanks for taking the time to answer.
