Maybe I shouldn't fight it. I could try and use the trend system on the NQ and then scalp the ES? Something to think about. Though maybe it is...
Oh yeah. If I was following my trend system today, I'd be up 6 points right now. As always, I am fighting the battle in my heart between...
Not really the end of the day, but I am closing up the trading shop. I have developed a scalping entry/exit system for good or bad. Tested it a...
Looking good Aphie (well, you know what I mean). Welcome to the real world. :) You have to spend money to make money. Right? Er... Hmmm....
As stated, I have kept trades to a minimum this morning so I could spend some time just watching the action. And, when I did trade, I used hard...
Quick plan for the day. I will keep any trading in the morning to a minimum (if at all) so that I can watch the action and try and come up with a...
This is something I will watch for and evaluate going forward. Certainly most my loses from Tuesday did at least work their way back towards...
Any chance you can send some of that stuff my way? Assuming it is real pixie dust and not that immatation stuff.
I personally wouldn't trade it if I could find something better. Famous last words, eh? :) Though with only one day of sample data, maybe that...
Best of luck.
I certainly didn't prove that wrong today. :) Thanks for the advice.
At one time I did have a lot of charts like that, but for pure scalping I would think it would be way to distracting. I would love to trade a...
Hmmm.... My 5 minute bar chart has a grey background with red and green candles. The tick line chart has a red and green backround, where it is...
Agreed. Very backwards. I had 1:3 instead of 3:1. That is a big problem with my initial plan to pick up two ticks at a time. That obviously...
Just to respond to the overtrading remarks on their own. I realize I made more trades today than is "wise". However, I was aware of it the...
Part of the current problem is that I can't tell you exactly what my method is. Today, since it didn't look like a good day for trend systems, I...
Thanks. I'll take a look. I tried playing with IB's sim, but since it's delayed it can't be used with third party data feeds.
I tend to agree. Since I always took two ticks if my trade went that far, I am looking at roughly a 3:1 profit ratio if reversed (and even losing...
Fool that I am, I made some more trades this afternoon. The sad results... -1.50, +0.50, -2.50, -1.25. Now what does this say? Since I'm...
The goal of this journal is for me to try and solve my trading issues. I'm not sure how long I will post or how much I will post, but at least...
