  1. Joined you guys. Shorted at 1189.75. Stop one point a way.

    I used to be a trend trader. It's not what it crack up to be. But the market is pretty weak.

  4. Actually when I am tired of fighting trend, might be the sign that everyone else is giving up also.

  7. I closed my short and i'm still waiting to short again. I have the discipline to wait till the right moment, and even if i don't go short again i don't care.

    You let somone on a chat board influence your trading.

    Are you sure that you are ready to post a journal like this and not have it influence your trading? I''m sure that posting a journal is not part of your "system" - or is it?

  10. Now we see why he posted this in his first post. Other traders
    can influence your trading plan and mess it up.

    One more thing: The trend is your friend untill it ends...

    Then it kicks your butt... :(
