worked from home, decided to trade... single trade... single market... the basic idea was to see the opportunity for the trade, and just trade it for profit...
Took a break to clear my head +had a programming project, reminded myself to be more patient with entries, and going into ONLY risk management mode ASAP.. profitable days made me get loose / sloppy discipline. Felt that a shift in 'mental modes' would be the most beneficial for my kind of trading. + Fighting the urge to buy/sell ASAP and reminding myself to wait for better prices
chop suey today, had all my focus on crude got my execution shit on euro (bought 2982s, yes the high tick before it dropped and got stopped) need to get tighter with euro
Again, I'm happy to have made money on a lame low volume day. I probably would have made a little more if I didn't have to manage a trade from my phone at work. +21
Iâve been a lurker for a while. Iâve been trading for over 3 years, having bounced around a few prop shops. The road to consistency has been no bed of roses. Consistent for about 8 months. I primarily daytrade with occasional swing trades. I find myself faced with the continual challenge of position sizing and riding winners. I have a high % of profitable trades, but often miss out on the bulk of the tradeâs potential. I am ruthlessly disciplined with entries, but exits are weak. I average between $80-$300 daily on volume of about 2000 shares (300-500 share entry depending on price), and am trying to reach the next level. Ultimately, Iâll be happier than a pig in sh*t if I can reach my goal of $1000/day. Up $193, letting a small position ride to tomorrow.
