As an observer I noted you went through your daily loss limit and continued trading... The fact that you might made it all back in that last long...
Less work today (not flipping positions around) and making more points. Seems the way to go for the future. (nice thread:))
Thx for taking interest. There are different aspects to this. This "rule" is the result of some experiences I've had in the past. To elaborate a...
weekly P/L statement & summary: The first (5-day) week of the year has ended. Net result was +22,50 points. The good news is that I reached...
(US open = 15:30) [IMG] Another day, another opportunity:) (while I tried to swallow my bad day from yesterday) It's not always easy to...
[IMG] In hindsight: The NDX closed the gap from the 2nd of Jan today and then backed off. An important clue that I missed earlier. Tobo
(US open = 15:30) [IMG] Serious off-day today. I completely screwed up the open which resulted in wasting too many bullets to get back into...

Reason to exit the last trade was (amongst things) that we had reached a possible support zone ~3519 area and I expected some turbulence in that...
I changed my tradesize to 1 NQ contract / $2.400 (instead of $2.000). So trading size remained at 4 contracts. [IMG] Just one trade for...
I did two more trades and since it seems I can't edit the previous post anymore I'll make an update. It didn't turn out to become such a dull...
Something I forgot to mention. US open time = 15:30 in the trade log.
The NQ opening today was rather messy imo. Might be a dull Friday afternoon. I can't spend much time trading today so I'll stop early. 3 trades...
This will be the starting account balance: It's currently ~ $9.830 so I will trade 4 NQ contracts today. [IMG] If I will be able to...
Dear reader, A new year... new good intentions :) I decided to step out of the shadows of the lurking zone and start a journal myself. This...
