the format of that trade report doesn't seem quite right
'No Not Another Journal' Journal
- Thread starter Chuck Krug
- Start date
will try and mark the entries and exits later on
and that chart sucks too
worst journal ever
worst journal ever
thinking about renaming this journal 'how not to trade the ES'
or 'the stop out journal'
I repeat: WORST. JOURNAL. EVER.
lol
or 'the stop out journal'

don't have the earlier trades on the chart as it's only a chart from 9:30, will change that tomorrow
1st trade: now notice that the MA were going down
should have sold earlier. lesson learned (i hope)
2nd trade: quick stop out. looks like i followed the rules here
3rd trade: MA's sloping up, hmmm probably should have gotten out sooner
4rd trade closed out trade to stop for lunch actually my only winner

Good luck w/ the journal.
As another has said, get the rules written and try to follow them.
Screenshots might get others more involved too.
Try SnagIt, very nice screen capture tool. http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp
