Something very interesting happened this afternoon. The tape was pointing higher than 1260 NDX but it seemed like something was fighting it all...
Wait a minute, this is pretty much the heart of my system. I know that since I've started this journal, I've been sacrificing short term results...
Another possible strategy would be to take the short term signals in the theory that the short term signals will eventually lead to the long term...
This seems true in theory, but in practice scaling in and out isn't any less stressful than going in and out completely. The problem lies in how...
Please elaborate. This makes absolutely no sense. What does 1 contract have to do with it? You can reverse any trade, even 100 contracts. The...
Very true, I'm glad someone picked up on this. I was feeling the same way, but I didn't want to dwell on the negative on a day where I did more...
I was too confused to trade today. At approximately 2:00 EST I received a buy signal at 1237. However, I was feeling that the market was going...
Thanks.
True.
Today was pretty good. Trade 1 (BOT 1254 SLD 1261.5) I started trading earlier than usual today because I was feeling pretty good and also...
As I mentioned previously, I am starting to feel embarrassed by the results I have posted. In an effort to prove myself, I have a attached a...

I took four days off. At that point I cut my size in half and figured I should try to trade my way out of the slump. If I continue to struggle...
Today was better. I ignored several signals at the beginning of the afternoon, but was finally able to start taking them around 2:30 EST. The...
I had been successfully trading 15 contracts for several months, but decided to cut my size in half because for the previous two weeks I had been...
I think bobcathy1 was just trying to be helpful, which I appreciate. As far as the trade in question (BOT 1295 SLD 1293) is concerned, I knew...
I was getting signals to go short, but my gut feeling was that it wasn't a good idea. Something in the tape made me feel like going short was a...
I wasn't feeling very confident this afternoon. I saw several setups that I liked, but I couldn't pull the trigger. Out of frustration, I tried...
I am starting this journal on a trial basis. I intend on posting my NQ trades and any pertinent comments at the end of each trading day. The...
