Thoughts

Trading using 5 min. bars was a bust yesterday. I couldn't develop any market feel at all. Today I'll be switching to 2 min. bars. Since the bond market closes early I'll only look for trades for a couple of hours. I'm going to skip trading on Friday with it being a short session.

have you tried T-REX's 2 Bar Charlie System?

He uses 5 min bars to trade overlaid with 2 moving averages.
His live demo was awsome. maybe that will help.

I tried methods, systems, and indicators years ago. I couldn't make a dime with them. Once I just started letting markets tell me when it felt like a good trade I started making money consistently. This journal is just for documenting my steps to see if I can use feel for trading the emini. I'm giving it until the end of Dec. or 25k in losses (whichever comes first). If I can develop some feel and acceptable profits (4 pts/day) then I'll start trading it with larger size next year. If not...well that's why I'm calling it a experiment.

Money why wouldn't you paper trade mini for a while instead of risking 25,000 ?

I'm trading with a simulator in evenings. I need to trade real money to develop a feel for risk and profits. I don't feel the same way when I use the simulator.
 
Tried buying strength again. Bought and it immediately dropped.
That's a habit I've got to stop for this market. I'm giving this a little room because it feels like we're close to the low.
