One of the things I find very amusing or even laughable, most of the newbies don't do journals afraid of what someone might say negatively. I am more like the old weird grandfather most wish I wouldn't come around, but I work in a world where I you have to be ruthless, day trading takes years off your life, many years of learning about yourself and usually you learn more about yourself in bad ways, LOL then when you actually get good, you wonder how could I been that dumb to take so long? Way too often young traders try to re-invent the wheel, what a waste of time, you just want to tailcoat the big boys for handful of points and quit for the day, funny how fast accounts goes up when you seldom lose. I am so happy I am not very much a trend trader, I just detest watching price charts now more than an hour. But in my youth, I'd be on my 36th hour of watching something and didn't even know it been day and half ago I slept. Maybe stock will get very strong into the close.
Sure looks that way - but since I'm done.., just sitting here watching missed that move..., crap missed that move..., oh crap there went another..., and another - LMAO yeah..., the mkt beats that out of ya quick.., fast.., and in a hurry I've often wondered why.., and why not keep it simple - even experience traders make it far more complex than "I know" it needs to be But then so did I at one point - yeah..., it sure was a waste - of several things Always damn glad you're around here H123 Happy Weekend All shit - just missed that move RN
Just finished reading through your fantastic journal here @slugar. Best of luck to you with your trading! @Redneck you are a true gem, every time I come across your posts I learn something or gain a different perspective. Many thanks.
Well, today was day of frustration for me, when I have a loss, it is huge and I have to do what I can to recover, when markets are not cycling like I am use to trading, I can't get the needed points to keep trading size. So if I have a lose in first 30 minutes and can't get six points, platform won't let me ramp up size cause I was smart enough to put in this rule to have platform do this. I found out long ago when market not behaving as it should for me, I have done dumb things like not waiting and be patient.
Slugar By the numbers - plan each / trade each discipline..., patience..., routine I sound like a broken record - but it the only way ================ I know the TFs you damn well better be using - and how you should be using them We know your approach / methodology is solid Time you make - you solid ======================== Tired of seeing my Friend in turmoil.., and not trusting..., damn tired RN
Trust today was better?? One of the things I like about trading - each day is a new day Matters only we make it through this one RN
Oh baby it was better, not perfect, but life not perfect. You too nice to Slugar, HEY MAN IT IS TWEEZER TIME.
