Perfectly holding that line so trail is set. The thing with my system is that if something changes i will get out quick and get back in if i again see confirmation of the original trade. I am not concerned too much about commission or re-entering trades - i try to stay as emotionally detached as possible.
I am very good at holding when in a trade. I went out of my office for 2 mins to grab a sandwich and by coincidence it missed by bracket cover by 1 tick. Still in the trade - don't mind giving back a chunk of the gains but still holding until i see a shift in trend.
It is approaching my first long zone at 64-65 - might provide a healthy bounce from there. However, my ideal target will be at 57. Don't mind riding out potential bounces as profit has been locked in with my trail. Now to let this run - no chance of scale out with my 1 measly contract I always let my winners run as i need that 20x risk every month or two.
Its hit the first buy zone. However, action is particularly weak right now and often market can blast through a zone like this on these types of days. It means i will be tightening my trail. Not exiting until it hit my exit parameters.
Looks like support is coming in here @ '65. Kudos to you for posting your live trades on a chat board. I would find it irritating as hell to have to talk my trade while trying to concentrate on the trading also. GL
It is getting bit difficult to post immediately after i have entered or exited a trade as it means i have distract my attention from the screens. However, the advantages of letting my trades be know to public makes me try hard to stick to the plan and do well. I hope newbie traders can get a nice insight into the ups and downs of a trader. I try to be as honest as i can with my trading and i am not here for an ego boost when trades go my way. Also, even though i consider myself to be a poor trader i hope maybe someone is getting something out of anything i post here. All the best to you Mandlebrot.
Longer term suppost zone has proved itself here. If they are going to break this zone most likelt be done in the evening session. Im out of my short at 67 for a juicy +9.5. Net +7.5 on the day now. May look to re-enter if i see something develop.
