Mr Subliminal's Remote Trading Journal

Got a few chores to do, so I just traded the first hour. Decided on discretionary, 2 to 4 contract, tight stop, scalp mode today. While there will be no self-flagellation (coulda, woulda, shouldas) on this thread, I always appreciate feedback regarding my trading style. Those not wishing to tarnish their reputations with such a dubious association may PM me.

I decided to play bunker after a good start and mentally closed shop at 9:38am, finally saying goodbye to X_Trader at 11:00am. Apart from X_Trader which is purely execution s/w without any graphics, I have nothing else open on my screens - in fact I rely on the bottom right corner of CNBC for the Dow and Nasdaq index quotes. The only indicator I use is SOMP.

all done at 11, what you do for the rest of the day? nobody have anything to say even though your trade had been viewed 31 times?

OMG! :eek:

Focus on quality, not quantity!

3 or 4 nice catches is all you need to make your day... somehow 483 roundtrips and a loss of over $3000 for all that effort isn't the most efficient way to go (but at least your broker is happy)...
