Tampa, I am glad I don't start any journal, you are a brave man indeed, keep your chin up and soldier on, cheer.
Truer words have never been spoken. Best of luck tomorrow Tampa, don't let it bother you that everyone, and I mean everyone, is watching....(jes kiddin')
I can live with everyone looking over my shoulder - so what. But knowing that SHE is getting reports - now that's a little un-nerving...
Tampa your funny.......... Linda is not getting a report on you, I noticed you had a problem with your work & I talked to her & told her I will thow in a hand to help you find your way, she said fine, was a 2-3 min conversation. BUT........... do not make any excuses for not trading, or executing, NO WAY you will get away with that , we could always find an excuse to not take action, forget it & make money !! you could do it , just focus & find your way, nobody should stand in anybodys way of success, try the ideas I gave you & apply on paper for a few days & see if they help you....... Tampa, you have to determine your own game & whats best for you, what where you successful trading prior to the scalp setup that your trying to do now ? Chartwiz
...oh. So I sit here suffering, agonizing, and sweating, and she would let me slowly twist in the wind - I get it. (and after all I've done for her - well, I would have done something if she had asked) So she doesn't want any reports. Fine, good, OK. (maybe she has a weak stomach) You asked what I had been doing. Simple scalps on various continuation patterns off a one minute chart. No big deal - just going for a point or less. The short skirt caught my eye because it was similar to what I had been doing anyway. Just with a greater profit potential. After going over your earlier post, and doing some thinking, I now see what you were saying. And of course, I am very applicative of your help. (...no reports at all, huh...can't say as I blame her. I mean, I'm sure that she's busy and stuff. But no reports.)
you betcha. i hear tampa's caused a bit of riot amongst UK spread betting firms on his daily performances ... apparently the brits really dig tampa's self-deprecating humor too.. i also told my roommate about tampa's journals, and now they're are favorite first stop for the entire teaching staff at Vega's Silverado high...
I donât want to apply extra pressure on tampa but Iâve been asked to translate his journal into French and Croatian.
...well, that's nice (I guess). So my misery is a big hit at the local High School. By any chance, would you know if the staff at Bright Trading are logging in?
...well, isn't that special (sigh). (now if I can just figure out how to "translate" the damn thing into a few measly profits) And I thought that the French disliked Americans. All I was trying to do was improve my trading, and now I find that I am contributing to world harmony!
Inspired by all the nice advice and helpful tips, I spent much of last night making major revisions to my trading plan. First and foremost, I changed the background color on my charts - this may be just the edge I need! Secondly, as a tribute to LBR (I don't care what C-Wiz says, I know that she is hanging on my every move), I have added Keltner Bands. Even before the market opens, I can tell you that they are very attractive, and a fine addition to my tool chest. So let the action begin!
