The CL/NQ experiment

Quote from Gabe2004:

If mindset is the most important aspect of trading, how would one explain that in the Journals forum has 145,366 Replies and 74,498,926 Views and in the Psychology forum there are 10,472 Replies and 1,546,671 Views in the top 20 positions (based on Views). That is almost a 13:1 ration in favor of the Journals in the Replies tab and 48:1 in the Views tab.
Shouldn't the ratios be reversed? :confused:

Most traders would rather work on finding a better entry/exit/ management etc than work on fixing themselves, IMO.

looking at CL 12/13

excellent entries just after noon there, I passed on those since I tend to omit midday, but they had really nice follow thru, I see you're scalping?...
 
Actually the net result for the day was bad.
Green lines indicate a profitable trade and red lines indicates unprofitable trades.
I find myself swinging between periods of full discipline to no discipline at all.
Yes I am scalping even though the intent is to keep trades longer.
 
I guess I was tired, I missed the colors somehow.

I've been extremely cautious lately, trying to hold on to recent best gains I've had in 19 months, I need to keep this green bar, badly, on P&L.

Are you trading live in CL? Are you trading other contracts? I used QM for oil, I keep a small balance in account and can't afford CL, yet.
 
...read back a bit, you're still sim...

CL made a nice measured move there after CPI news, looks like some profit taking going on now, I don't trade news.
