Started off OK, taking my signals, but didn't take the 3 most profitable ones because ... hell I don't know. Trade #1 Entered a long buy limit...
It's easy in sim. In real life, I would have stopped trading real money after the 3rd loss in a row. And if I wasn't smart enough to quit then, my...
Tried to focus on the bigger picture today, specifically managing trades for a larger profit and not moving to BE+1 after 8 or nine ticks. The...
Very strong over night up trend, so I wanted to avoid shorts. Got a short signal at 06:05, but it was too close to the EMA so I passed on it....
Going camping this weekend, so I'm off to prepare. No trading today.
Not very into it today - mostly just watched in between distractions. 1 6E trade for +14 ticks.
Yeah, that makes sense. I need to start looking that the trade as a whole unit instead of just entries and hard targets. BTW, there's no way I...
Did a little better today on my entries, but my exits suck bad. I know this is where the game is won, so I am working on it. Overnight session...
I was going to ask this on CL Redux, but was worried that it wasn't the proper forum, so I'll ask it here. I saw the two double tops form on CL...
Thanks, dude.
Didn't see the forest for the trees. Today I was focused on trading with the trend. CL was up big, so I thought, great, up trend. I marked up my...
This was me today. I saw the big uptrend and made several attempts to get in with it. More stupid counter trend trading. Lost 4 ticks on 3 trades....
Too rich for me - $31.50 a tick. Looked into ZF (5 year bonds), but currently all my CPU cycles are being sucked up with CL. But I hear 6E...
No CL trades today, but took 1 6E trade for 29 ticks (pips?). I put up the 6E and CL charts on my 2 monitors. I'm embarrassed to admit that I...
Interesting that you should notice that. I used to keep a histogram of my trades in 1 hour increments and noticed that early morning trades were...
Today I abandoned moving my stop to BE+1 on most trades and just let the trade go. The result was poor, meaning had I continued moving my stop...
cuz I'm still a learnin'
Here's an example. Some examples are harder to see, because the entry bar retraced for a stop out, then continued onward, so just looking at the...
That's exactly why I'm doing it (with the exception of the oil report trade - that's just plain crazy stuff). When I'm in sim, I'm just as focused...
6 CL trades today and net positive (sim), but if you lift up the hood, there's room for improvement. Trade #1 This was just plain stupid and...
