I have traded the ES, and it really does not matter what you trade. Just pick one contract/stock and stick to it. The 6âs have had great range...
Very broadly: It cannot be done on SIM. SIM is great to get your feet wet, but you have to go through thousands of hours of riding the "trading a...
3 trades? Of course not. You are not seeing the other fills on that screenshot because of the scrolling feature when you reduce the size of the...
I don't quite understand what that means and what you are referring to? The whole purpose of this journal is to explore and find out if it can be...
I just could not get a thing going today. Should have been a great day, but I was "trying" to scalp the long side only! Go figure. BUT, and I...
Not much, seemingly. But again, put the account size, leverage, and percentages in perspective, and it's something. Also, it's all about making...
Thanks for the kind words. And yes, it is purely scalping, to its truest form. And yes, I worked hard at it, and have paid my dues, but the...
The results are real and from a real account. For the time being, let's just stick to the purpose of why I am doing this (first post). Today...

Back to the routine today! I'd like to start recording my screen during a trading session to get the discussion going. The dome, bid and ask...
I hate losses! I just could not "read" the market on Monday. Hey, it happens to the best of us! Monday's:
Today's:
Thursday's:
I have been thinking about whether we should get into discussing strategy. Perhaps we could, and perhaps it can be done! Let me set the stage...
The NQ with $5 a tick value is becoming a bit of nuisance. Better stick with the 6's! Have a good weekend.
Got chopped up, churned, and could not get anything going thereafter.
What can I say, I just know what to do on days like today, even with an account this size!
