Hi Syswiz. Let's resume our conversation. You have my email.
Gaslight, The shifting constellations... Being an quasi-avowed perma-bear, many months ago I scoffed when you said 4000 ES. But I was willing...
As a race car driver, you have given me lots to think about while I am in the pitstop...
Why move it sometimes? When I am not disciplined. That is the only time. In those times, I feel like I "know" that the market is ultimately...
Up until now, I would say about 50% of my trades have been momentum scalps for 5 to 15 ticks and 50% have been reversals at support or resistance...
With an 80%+ win rate, the "inverted" R:R didn't bother me at all. It's the times when I moved the stop (as mentioned) that sometimes ruined my...
About 4 to 1 risk to reward. 4:1 which by most standards is inverted from what should be. But most traders lose money.... so "what should be"...
Despite the volatility of the last two weeks, I survived. In fact, I finished up today about $184, and completed the election week at $7,905...
Yes, I should not have been like President Trump proclaiming victory before it was certified. I have a long way to go indeed.
@himly83 Yours just may be the most important post in my journal and on the whole of Elite Trader. The elephant in the room is that most...
A frustrated trader wrote to me that he has lost so much and asked how I turned the corner. Here was my response. ------------------ I get your...

I traded today. I correctly surmised that because the chaos is tomorrow that today would be mostly rangebound (NQ excepted). And I love to...
The quick hits have served me well. And the injunction to honor the stops is ALWAYS welcome. It is so vital.
Hmmmm....... I wonder if I could really pull this off.
I may not be able to stay away Mon, Tue, or Wed next week. IF I do trade, I will keep it to just 1 or 2 micros, not the 4 to 5 I have been...
I haven't gotten very far on my goal past few days as the market has gone down and down. I have basically gone nowhere; I am up a net of $140 for...
As my account grows, I will be increasing my contract size to reach my profit goal of 2% per day. My average number of trades should stay...
The goal is to help me, not stress me out. Despite the title of the journal, even 0.5% per day would be satisfactory long term.
It sounds like you have a great system. Certainly my goal is to trade without emotion, but it is not always possible. My real goal is to feel the...
