Nice trading man!

 

I gave back all of yesterday's gains. I've done that 3 or 4 times in the past 2 weeks. pissed at myself.

Bad week Ichi. 5 negative days in a row. That's what happens when you try to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Like I had posted I had 5 losing days in a row but didn't lose that much money. It was so choppy that once a trade went against me I just got out. Another one I had made $150 profit but I decided to let it run with OCO and went to bed. While I'm sleeping it hit my stop and goodbye $100. Maybe this is not the time to let em run and I should consider taking less profit? I don't mean $50 but maybe anything over a $100 with light volume.

 

I have a few things to ask. I think one of my problems is that I'm trading quite a bit late in the day and that because of the low volume it's difficult to make money. Can you give me the best trading times for the different markets?

 

Another problem is that I find myself trying to trade the trend and not waiting for the price to come to me. I'm just guessing that you do the same and I think it's due to low volume and everything is moving at a much slower pace that I just get tired of waiting. Maybe a patience problem on my part?

 

Thanks dude for any advice you can give me and anyone else reading your thread. Have a good weekend.

I ended basically flat last week after commissions (-$64).

Lots of news events going on this week. Looking forward

to catching some nice runs either way. 

 

This week, like every week, I will be focusing on patience and discipline.

The market has gifts for those who wait.

I'm tired of waiting. Gimme some cash. LOL  I set my stop at 12946 which would exceed the price of the low for this session. I think if it drops to this price game over for now.

Got out of that with +$45 and went to bed. Should have taken $100 when it was there. Next time.

Short 6M at .075350.  Seems like everything is flat as a pancake.

Stopped out  -$237. You may be right JLC and maybe I should take a few days off. I picked up quite a bit on some MU puts but these damn futures are just not cooperating this past week. I need to see how you're doing.

Haven't been trading. The opening ranges have been too wide and doesn't fit my risk parameters. I've been messing with ACD. Been looking to use its philosophy and personalizing it to fit my trading style.

post #94 of 616

I decided to work the week's range on a daily chart and it's paying off today.

Ichi, I knew better than to listen to this but I did get half way though it and I got the message. thumbup.gif  Need to find that in a country tune. laughing.gif

I'm going back to work tonight with a different mindset. If the price doesn't come to me then I just won't trade. I'm not going to try and force a trade. This is so peace full. There's always tomorrow.

Short 6A 1.0399

post #99 of 616

Almost forgot GTC on my stop. C'mon ToS, do the right thing and give us that for default. Based on what I have seen in today's session though if it goes a couple of ticks against me I will get out.

Stop hit at 1.0401. That's it for tonight. It will be interesting to see if it did reverse and go up as I think it might. I'll know in the morning.
