  7. unfortunatly I won't trade WS today, my wife asked me if I can go with her and my daughter for a walk, I regret I won't be here, because the more I trade the more I understand if I'm making improvements, anyway I'm up $300 for the day so I feel ok, and because I'm always stressed, today maybe is the day to spend a good time with my family. I'm posting today's trades chart in the next post... see you tomorrow then...

  8. number of trades 2, 2 FESX

    FESX = +E210 (+$301)

    commission: $10

    TOTAL: + $290

    comments, 2 good trades on fesx, I decided to take profit this time after last week, anyway I tried to let the first trade run and I took profit with a trailing stop, with the second trade I placed a target where I thought the market could go and I went for a walk, the market went there and reversed, I have noticed that maybe I could have waited a little before entering to have a better entry price, anyway this is something I have to work on, because I always place trades at the market to see the price go against me for 3 - 4 ticks so maybe I could decide to place a trade at limit order a couple of ticks before the current price.

  9. longed 1 fesx at dax open, but stopped $-57.29, and longed again stop always at $57.29.

    no supports this time, but I believed the market was going up at open, must always wait for support or resistance before entering. if stopped I will stop trading for this morning and take just 1 trade when WS opens...

  10. long again fesx as it aproaches supports, I must say I'm breaking my rules, I said last trade would have been last trade of the morning, also the market didn't reach a support is only near. if stopped it will be the last trade of the day cause I will be near my max daily loss. very bad! a little down there will be a very good setup for trying long.
