counter trending in the stock index futures

Discussion in 'Journals' started by diversions, Mar 28, 2009.

  1. i have been trying to be a one trick pony
    i prety much know when the money will come into the market so i get the tops and bottoms almost to the tick

    my plan now is
    once if it takes off i am happy. if it starts to wigle i am out of there
    today was frustrating cause i had a few minor runners but held out for more and both times got stoped out at brake even
    it can be frustrating and boring but the pain of loosing for me was just the worst so i prefer this

    i used to try to trend trade cause every one said it is for beginers but could never for the life of pick the spots to jump in
    looking for reversol just comes more natural to me

    curencys are to volitile for my acount size
    i said either it starts running instentely or i am out

  5. Div,

    While your spelling is atrocious I agree with your philosophy. Picking "reversals," i.e. support & resistance comes naturally to me as well.

    800 on ES-M9 ain't bad but shorts might get faded there. 809.50 is an attractive spot for today, I think.

    GL trading. :)

  8. today i got lucky i did not trade well

    there were setups that were good by the book that did not feel right i took them and kept getting zapped
    by the end of the day i diid manege to get the top in the ym
    so i let it ride untill i broke even for the day after commssion

    my trading systom does not tell me when to get into the market

    it tells you when to stay out

    when it alowes me in i have to also feal it

    btw english is not my first lenguage sorry for the bad speling

  10. My day turned out horribly


    I sold the ym and when it went some for me I left the room cause I did not want to cut my profits short

    Problem is I did not have stop on and the market came roaring back and a 350 gain became a 200 dollars lose


    No excuse for such mistakes god knows how frustrating this is
