    I think he' been around me long enough to know that it's profitable to fade my moves on a day like today. :(

    After all the hairs pulled and sweat shed, making grueling 11 roundtrips in all, I'm slightly below breakeven at this point. Shameful. :banghead:

    I religiously posted stops on the "ES Journal" thread because the OP made it a requirement. But I find it too time consuming to type it all out.

    Hmmm... I've been plotting your trades and I almost don't think so. Regardless of what happens today, you are profitable on 80% of the days I think. Honestly, you are the only guy here who shows how it is to grind it out. Maybe some have the crystal ball that calls out every trade that instantly works, but what you show is how a trader needs to work and you show the proper trader mindset in action. Truly invaluable.

    My opinion, which is only mine of course, is that for you, its not necessary. Because you always say where you exit after the fact, or if you reverse, and most especially, because we can also see how you sometimes get chopped up or exit at the worst place, I don't think anyone will call you out for making all this shit up.

    Gotcha. Hopefully you don't think I'm being a dick, I just like what schizo is doing here in his journal and love how transparent he is being with all his trades. If you're holding for longer, that is totally cool, just wanted to get a sense of what you're doing.
