I'm honestly not sure how you guys trade and post the calls without hindering your trading, much respect for doing that while keeping the focus. Here is my recent long. TV
bye bye ES journal. I have noticed that everytime I read the stuff written here, it gets to my head and I ignore my rules less. I am sure everyone here has there own opinions which is exactly why everyones opinions get to me. I start doubting my own trades which have a high win to loss ratio. I might come here once in a while, during after hours. im sure nobody cares. Im just saying, if someone has bad days, try not reading the ES journal because everyone has different thoughts. I have been reaching my goal pretty well for a decent period of time. But when I start reading thoughts like, "today is just like yesterday", "long at the bottom of the day with a 10 point stop", etc etc. just not good for me. i never counter trade and often after not putting a trade on after reading stuff here, i say"fuckin ET, should never listen to that shit". But by the comments most guys have posted, Im sure everyone is doing well. PS.finally reached todays goal also after being upside down 2X.
i understand. it is good to have communitiy however one must be disciplined to execute his own strategy. even after you leave you will be faced with this again at some point. if you find yourself overriding your system its either you don't trust it or there is some form of fear within you that you must overcome i.e. trading your P/L instead of trading the market. good luck.
