IncreaseNow's "Sell/Short" Futures Journal

Quote from Fireplace:

Before today you had 1 trade in 5 days. How many did you do today that was 'too many' to post a chart??

7 roundtrips...on 2 different contracts...FYI...aint no newbie here...I have traded couple hundred futures contracts over the years...this is just a 'new beginning' for me..
 
FYI, you still are a newbie. There is no shame in that. Learn from your mistakes and for love of god, post your darn screen shots already. I can already feel the moderators closing this thread into chit chatter.
Make this an honest live trading journal

:)

sorry for your bad day. New traders must endure a steep learning curve.

My worst days came from overtrading. As difficult as it is to do, erase each prior trade and wait patiently for the next real setup. It's so tempting to jump on anything that moves to "get back" either what you lost or even worse, what you missed. I've frequently looked at a move I missed and put on a trade at the point where I would normally be exiting! That's how irrational trading can make you if you're not always on the alert.

Exactly!

You never know how one persons view of a specific trade of yours can trigger a new understanding. Don't be so shortsighted increasenow

Yeah, I think you're being forthright, but nobody can help w/o timestamps.

Are you telling us that you don't want any help. That this journal is to just be a record of your trades and frustration with trading.

For quite some time you have been starting threads, asking for advice then ignoring it.

There are :cool:CATS:cool: out there trying to help.
