    Scaling into some micros here....this is a discretionary trade.

    Long 3 MES at 2431.68 (June contract)

    Looking for a relief rally within the next week or so to sell into. Will buy more if we drop another 10 percent.

  3. At what point did you start hating yourself for not using ES or adding more.

  4. That's a slippery slope which leads to recklessness (at least in my case). Never override the model or computer, as long as it does what's intended.

    At no point. I had a plan and stuck to it.

  6. It was discretionary.

    Good for you!

  7. Possibly, but looking at the thread title, I'd assume sizing is part of his plan.

    And, I forgot to add, never leave the computer either, like I did in my recent journal here.

    Not much action in the first quarter. That is going to dramatically change in Q2 as I will be launching a new strategy developed in collaboration with a member on this site.

    In collaboration with another member on this site, I launched an NQ day trading strategy today (real money). It trades every day and uses Volume bars. Since today is the first day with live money, I will post results today but going forward I will post results at the end of each week. This should be very interesting!!
