IncreaseNow's "Sell/Short" Futures Journal

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by increasenow, Feb 22, 2010.

  1. Are you going to focus ONLY on gold next week? Make a firm commitment right here, right now for all to see!

    :)

    And if you fail to do so, the moderators can move this to chit chat as punishment? Good idea, right?

    You need a kick in the rear to get you going!

    :D

    Let's DO this thing!!

    agree, there's no reason to be switching your focus all the time. Stop thinking that there's a better contract out there. Pick one. Focus. Then you can really actually maybe start to progress.

    Let's do gold and not start talking about other markets then

    if you're not up to the challenge I'll assume you're just toying with us. I'll be frustrated and I don't think I'll be inclined to give constructive comments any more

  5. Be careful with gold.
    It will move $50 in a blink for no apparent reason, but there is almost always a reason, just not immediately apparent to us.

  6. Better yet...if Inow DOES NOT focus on just gold next week, all who follow should hit 'complain' and report to the moderators that this is not a serious trading thread but rather a thread deserving of the chit chat forum. After all, why should anyone spend time helping someone who isn't really serious?

    Inow, think of this as your intervention. You haven't been able to do it on your own, so some added motivation might be just what the Dr. ordered. Hey, you might even LIKE it!

    :D

  7. I have seen your threads on here a ton in the past couple of years. Whether its serious or not, only you know. The threads and questions you have , have all been the same over that time period. So maybe your wasting our time but I do have some advice for you.

    Whether you pick on contract and stick with it( which other have stated you should do, and I agree with them) , you can not discard that future becuase you lost money on it one day or say "wow this is the future I will concentrate on from now" becuase you made money on it that way. There will be days when you lose on what you think is the best contract for you. So you need to pick one and give it time, and not a week but take several months of the same contract, win or lose. You have to learn it. You cannot fly by the seat of your pants and pick a future on whatever your p n l says that day. Its the same thing with people who strategy hop and try a new strategy , that could be promising , but they never know becuase they lose once on it and then throw it out with the bath water. So people on here whether we are annoyed with your antics here, are still giving you the time of day and try to help you. I would heed their advice. My opinion is if you choose one contract and stick with it for a while through thick and thin people will take you more seriously and help, but if you flip I would hope the moderators delete this thread. Becuase the same stuff you said here about I have picked beans, corn, gold ,crude, etc... as futures to watch, you say the same thing each and every thread. Trade one and only one make money over several months consistently and make sure you earn yourself the right to trade something new.

  9. OFFICIAL NOTICE!!!

    I, IncreaseNow, hereby decree that I will only focus on one contract and trade only one contract from this very moment until end of day next Friday March 19th. That contract being either mini-Gold or Large Comex Gold. I will only be discussing this contract or trading in general (set-ups, EMA's etc.). But, as comes to my actual trading, it will only be Gold futures related. Should I mention, "I just went long Sugar or lost $256 in soybeans or what do you think about pork bellies" I give the moderators the full right to 'kick me to chit chat'...swiftly and quickly.

    I fully understand that all posters here want to see me suceed and it is widely understood that for one to suceed in trading one must focus, focus and become a 'master of one' contract...hence, a new stage in my trading journey begins...the "IncreaseNow Gold futures" trading journey...

    Signed,

    IncreaseNow

    ....please second and third and fourth this motion and we look for a moderators agreement to the thus set-forth motion mentioned above...
