I set up a trading journal in the "JOURNAL" Sub forum, so i dont clutter up this section. I'm just posting my trades as they happen and its in a paper money account. Constructinve Comments are always welcome, thats how i learn. its here... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/kgtrader4-paper-trading-journal-my-training-wheels.365975/
1. You can "try anything" so long as you exercise stop discipline. 2. You will learn better "which trades are worth it" and will do better over time. It's about the "process". Good Luck!
One of my rules (work in progress) is to always enter a stop as soon as i enter the position, and make sure the stop represents a loss not more than 2% of total capital, preferably, 1%. I hope the thread gets attention and comments in the JOURNAL section, and doesnt get lost. This section seems more active
To do that constructively, you need to be making trades at/near chart support/resistance. IOW... you need to be using "Price TA" to determine the best trades to take. Keep it up! You're on the right track.
You'll get out of it what you put ito it. The more information about your trades will get more comments from the forum. Why you picked that particular stock? Where are your exits? Why there? Emotions?
