Well of course you did - you don't seem to have any rules that tell you what to do. Do you?? Perhaps you do have rules and they say enter and take 2 ticks and get out, if that is what they say then you should be satisfied you followed your rules. If not, you are trading out of fear or greed - I have 2 ticks and don't want to loose them let me get out now. Right some rules that can cover these things and don't be upset when you trade accordingly and seem to leave a lot behind.
Ok Incy, out of those 3, keep an eye on ES, but put most of your focus on the currency futures. I think the currencies can trade a little smoother than the indexes, not always, but usually. Save sugar for, well probably never.
I actually feel my confidence growing with trading the CME Globex SF & CAD...I did enter at the right time but, just obviously did not have the total confidence to ride the profit train...at least had a correct entry...learning
yea, I seem to be favoring the SF & CAD...also, check this out...no way!!!..right entry...wrong exit...
yes, "I guess I do"...probably not the most articulate yet but, they are more 'visual' based on what I understand so far about the SF various price levels and price action...
So if they are visual rules - then you still did not trade your rules and the trade was a failure. Correct?
no, these are the rules as of right now...so, a successful trade...albeit it small...really liked the entry...heading towards being more defined in my entries
