Is it just me...

to be honest, last couple of days I was waiting more for "What a great trading day" threads

this week was one of the best ones for me since Nov. 2002, trading NYSE, morning gaps
 
Quote from DisciplinedHedg:



Ahhhh overtrading...the bane of traders...

Usually from greed, boredom, or need to fulfill that high you get when you're in a trade (not unlike a gambler)...

...Look within, not out!!!

whatever it is...its making me think about going automated...I have a good profitable strategy.. when I follow it to the T....thats the prob....
 
Quote from bungrider:



yeah that's the way the past few weeks have been for me...

the thing that's totally fucking me is getting stopped out all the time...even if i'm "right" for like .20, the chop is stopping me constantly and my wins aren't big enough to pay for losers...

i feel like i'm trading better than ever before, but just getting totally fucked every which way....

i'm with ya baby! so i tried to fix this problem. i put a little more contraints on when i take the trade, tried to up my odds so i don't get chewed up by commissions.....i'm up today! only 3 trades ;)

Quote from Babak:

Adapt or die...the rule is not the strongest, or the fastest or the brightest win...but rather those that adapt faster. I've switched from short term (intra-day) to long term swings. So far so good. If/when that fails, I'll be on to some other strategy.

yeah, part of the reason i'm getting screwed is the lack of adaptation. normally i make a ton more on overnights, but since 1/03 with all this war BS i haven't had any interest in taking overnight positions...maybe it's time to go back to that...

ahh...it's ladies like longshot who make these boards subpar...
