  3. No, I'd rather not even trade if I am doing 1 contract. Makes no sense.

  4. -950 Nothing Tue +80 Nothing Thur Nothing Fri

    I was positioned on Wed to make about 5k. Fucking that up made me want to retire for the week.

    Thur I likely would have lost a lot. All I saw was shorts... price didn't get cheap enough for me.

    Today I didn't see anything before I had to leave around 11 to see my command.

    It's obvious you're busy with the legal stuff but what other reasons do you think contribute to the recent drawdown?

  6. Most of the errors I've identified previously. Holding just 1 or 2 of the trades from the last 2 weeks would have put me in the black...

    The reason I cut them short, I'm pretty sure I need to stop. I need to do some analysis - but I was cutting them on small (I mean MICRO) tick and 1 min TL breaks, which I think is far more hurtful than just ignoring them.

    As I type this I realize how silly that is.... even tho it cuts your losses down bc you get out sooner, the market will break these lines many times in a good trend in your direction, ie you should ignore them and just look to take profit at a "large" goal.

    Gotta be a lot of fake outs here and there along the way.

    Looking forward to a good week, good luck!

    In light of the previous two weeks? None too shabby...

  10. -740 -600 Nothing Wed -1290 Nothing Fri

    I really don't know how it's possible to lose so much. It's like I'm cherry picking the losers some how.

    Thinking of increasing time frames..
