Don't base your trades off of irrational feelings, thoughts or false projections of future prices. 

That's a wishy washy psychic mentality and most of us weren't born with that ability so

why try to use something we don't have? Stick to what you know. 

 

Follow a set of rules in order to compile a set of accurate data.

If your rules aren't producing the positive data you are looking for,

then change your rules.

closed below on the 5min. losing trade if I tried to buy the top there. 
I have to wait for a close above that level again if I wanted to retry. 

But I'm not, just speaking hypothetically.

I'm posting my top performers vs my top losers.

 

Euro FX  March starts the the losers going down (-$25 to -$900, Canadian Dollar June)

Mini Dow March starts the winners ($45 to S&P Jun $1,875)

 

I've tried my strategy is most all major futures instruments.

E-mini S&P and Crude are obviously my favorites with the Yen in 3rd.

I took a small beating in NQ for the June contract. Other than that,

the other currencies have not treated me well. Suffice to say, I'm sticking

to my top performers, trading 5 or less instruments total.

I am beating myself up pretty good on this one. After I got out I thought about RG's 2748. I should have stuck with my plan. Who knows, it may work. If not another lesson learned.

Ha, I'm trying to trade futures and of course I am in Ichi's classes. Not sure if he's going to let me pass into 3rd grade or not. Maybe next year.  He tries to explain things to me but I think 99% of it is just impossible for my brain to comprehend. laughing.gif

 

I have noticed your absence and I was wondering how you've been doing. I do see an occasional post though so I assume you're OK.

Yeo, out at 1.0011. I'm having computer issues so I'm going to try a 3rd different computer and see how it runs ToS. This one has a slow processor and the other one only has 2 GB of ram and started crashing this morning. I'll be back.

Very nicely done, Bob!

You gotta be pumped. That's one of your best futures trades, right?
