Inspired by over 2 months of winning sim and the success of my Passed Trades log, I decided to take each pullback trade today regardless how...
When I got in this morning and fired up my platform, 6E had just formed a nice pullback entry. Since I hadn't gone through my morning ritual yet...
Better today - more relaxed. I think trading only 1 setup is the way to go for me. I still noted other setups, but wasn't tempted to trade them. I...
Thanks FD. I'm only beginning to dip my toe in the water of trading break outs. Today I watched the DOM as price hit them, and it happens so fast,...
Hi Matcha, I do appreciate your feedback. Thank you. I know I do tend to counter trend trade, but it's not my intention - and I think I'm...
Thanks NoDoji - how did you finally break free? I just finished an hour of simming last Tuesday, took every setup, and came out way ahead. Same...
Not happy at all with today. I don't know if logging my Passed Trades is a help or a problem. Any time there was the slightest doubt about a...
No CL trades today - way too whippy for me. Had 3 6E trades for a net of -10 ticks.
Was out of town yesterday and had to do office work today (plus leaving early), so no live trading. CL was too whippy for me while I was...
All excellent observations - thanks. Believe it or not, I do have a set of rules and setups. Today I violated some and paid for it, as it should...
Not happy at all with how I traded today. When I look at my 2 CL trades it looks downright embarrassing. My second trade in CL was a clear...
Thanks for this. I did make two attempts to short those first 2 pullbacks, but I did so on limit orders and missed them. As NoDoji points out,...
I'm trying to pay attention to those plays, but CL tends to retrace a lot and stop me out. 'spose it's my placement of the stop order - still...
Lesson number one in the Steenbarger book.
Things moved a little fast for me today. There were several signals on CL that I took but wasn't filled on. At 06:40 I had signals on both CL and...
CL way too whippy for me today. 1 trade in 6E for +3 ticks. Ho Hum.
Decided to call it an early day today and go out and enjoy the rain. Volume on CL has been really light. Up overall, but not much. Trade #1...
Too much holiday cheer over the weekend. Slept late, butt draggin... no trades.
Trade #1 Short at 87.48 at resistance with a 9 tick stop. Got stopped out with 1 tick slip. -10 ticks. Trade #2 After price popped through...
Overall I'm happy with my CL trading, even though I only ended up 2 ticks on 4 trades. I managed the trades well and didn't jump to BE at the...
