Hey 4re, have you ever looked at your 2 point a day on a workbook? Well here you go....

Love your thread by the way!

 

had to zip the xl file....

 

Hello everyone,

This thread is an excellent source of information. Thank you to 4re and everyone else involved.

I am new to the daytrading business (haven't traded yet) and have been scouring the web for info. This thread has provided more insight into the minds and plans of traders than I could have imagined.

I will be inheriting some equity/capital soon, and since it is unexpected and un-needed (based on my current standard of living) I am looking to get involved in day trading and perhaps eliminating the need for other income sources.

I would love to be able to work less than 40hr/week and be able to not work as inspired by other more appealing endeavors when so inclined.

I have considered many types of investment, but to me it seems that trading could suit my profile of abilities and goals more so than any others.

So for now, I am sitting back and watching/learning and hopefully soon I will be able to credibly partake in the discussions.

Anyway, glad to have stumbled upon this and please, keep it up!

Cheers,
Chris

 

I was hoping you would prove me wrong. When the market is jumpy like today I try not to look at the DOM, because it makes me anxious.

 

looking to go long the russell above 709.60 if it happens....

 

709.70 was hit..scratched out on the trade...

I'll take a scratch over a loss any day.....

 

I should have taken the day off. The jumpiness of the market got to me; therefore, I didn't trade the plan. I'm done for today.

 

I tried not to look at the DOM, but I didn't have a choice since the market was moving so fast and erratic.

Traded like a buffoon today. Made good trades, got scared out. $%^$%^$&*!!!!

The fact that my paper trade account is up 50% in the last week is...uh...no consolation.

 

ES is still the calm smooth market......today was and still is nice......if 4re says s/r bad ttoday for forum system i believe anything he says, but can say trend follower like me is impressed today with YM ES not looking at NQ....but all the same for a robust system................... stay positive and keep watching realtime charts as you have to get to a system that you have confidence in and i really hope 4re will lead you there as he progresses as well....
