    Have you read Phantom of the Pit. Good reading about holding trades to long or getting out to early.

    I started reading it for the first time the other day and putting Rules #1 and 2 into practice today. It made a BIG difference!!! All in all, these last 2-3 weeks have been terrific.

  4. I'm not even going to comment.. the results speak for themselves..

    Beg. Balance $755.52 - $228.00 = $527.52

    I know this can be done but its obvious that I can't do it.. at least not right now anyway..

    I have some deep psychological hangups I need to get worked out..

    I think I may give Robin Dayne a call..

  6. correct me if I'm wrong anyone..

    She's a trader's coach. I believe she helps you deal more with your own psychological problems that you have within

    She was a guest in one of the Chat sessions.. Look under chat in Elite.. and you can read the chat session or click on her name and it will bring you to her website

  7. Looks like only your first entry was according to your trading plan (pullbacks to the MA).

  8. Made 3 trades today.. all were a profit of 1 tick..

    And as you can see on the chart everyone of them would have yielded a few points..

    Trading with a low account balance is causing me to close out trades...

    Would have been a very profitable day had I traded these correctly..

    Man, put in your stop and your target and walk away from the computer. At least until you can make yourself hold a trade. If it is such a small account why worry?

    Indahook has some good advice in the "Trading Rules" thread.
