I am falling asleep with this thing. Waiting for food. P.S. I think I manage to miss all the big trades. It's good practice but I am not ready for this journal thing.
I think this might be enough trading for me. I have to drive my Dad to the airport. So today I just scalp for 2 pt and I made 1.75 pt on my rubberband trade. I think I am gonna stop the journal here because I missed all my trades today except one trade netted 1 pt. So all in all I lost -.50 pt for the week if you allow me to count the rubber band trade. I definitely appreciate and learned quite a bit from you guys. I will have to learn to ride trend more, it is the quickest way to make money if I can catch one. Good luck all.
Notice the market keeps going up after I close the journal. I swear it had nothing to do with me. Just volatility reverts to the mean. Forgot... Dear Moderator, please close this journal. Thanks.
martys I thought this was a 5 Day ES Intraday Trading Exploration. You have one day left. Now go out and get 'em. Hang tough. The party ain't over 'till the Fat Lady Sings...
Thanks. I missed most of the trades in my original plan so I asked myself what's the point of sitting there chating. Although I make a little money yesterday, actually my trading has deteriorated by looking at my slower reaction and doubt. But this thread has given me a lot of input. In the perfect world, maybe this plan will work. I probably have to go for the bigger profit target like privateisland suggested and take many small losses like the turtle system or the ORB people. Maybe Fib extension helps?? Maybe a mix (time of day)? I am still retooling this. But definitely I am not cut out for this journal thing.
Martyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Go brew the coffee! Common buddy, get in the game. Buzzy would be proud of you.
