Lot's of opportunities today, but I only scratched out lunch money. I let the 05:30 news keep me out of a great long trade, and after my first...
Mixed feelings about today. My rules kept me out of the morning chop and news cycle, but they also kept me out of a winning trade. After the...
I normally wait a bar for confirmation (not sure why I didn't today), and had I done that on Trade 3, I would have seen it as a long. Even so,...
Try this ... wake up tomorrow and say, 'Today I'm going to Disneyland and it's going to cost me $100 to play(or some number you're comfortable...
Yes, plotting manually. I'll try using that feature tomorrow if I remember. I've found that sometimes the text gets messy if the trades are too...
Today was very choppy with no clear, lasting trends. Managed to escape with minor burns. I didn't take the first short at 05:15 because I just...
Yes, fixed target of 25 ticks. I'm trying to learn 1 thing at a time. Step 1: find and enter profitable trades. Once I build a little...
Made a couple of non-fatal mistakes today. Otherwise, a decent day. I decided to drop the auto trail stop, but kept the BE +1 move after 8 ticks....
Taking today off. Good luck to everyone.
How did you get 81.89? I don't see it. I'll try to grow a pair tonight, and if I do any trading tomorrow, I'll (gulp) hold on for awhile longer.
Thanks FD, normally I do try to trade a little longer, at least on Tuesday's and Thursday's. MWF I usually take off at 10:30 to go to the gym for...
oooooooooooooooo :) :)
Tried something a little different today. I modified my auto trailing stop to just go to +10 when I have 20 ticks, then the goal was to manage the...
I try to target 25 ticks, but I think you're right - the auto trail strategy is keeping me from target in all but the strongest runs. Will do...
Thanks again for the tips. My goal would be to handle my stops manually, but I really hate seeing 20 ticks evaporate to BE+1. The cost for that...
Not much to report today. I was having some bad internet issues early this morning. I run NT and TOS side by side, and both were crapping out on...
Dude ... I'm no roll model. If something I do doesn't make any sense to you, there's probably a good reason for it. Maybe it was a dumb trade. I'm...
It's Brook's father!!!
Thanks for that NT tip, Pacaso! That did help. I'm constantly trying to figure out how big a bar is to judge my risk. I was reading somewhere...
I like it!
