Re: Trader P/L 2009

Today I took just 3 trades during the session,
because my concentration went down.

Here they are:

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Got into a trade this morning that I shouldn't have...

Other than that it was an ok day. About average. Nothing to write home about but profits profit and I'm happy to have more now than I did this morning.

Hell, considering this is on a 4k account its 2% on the day.... lol.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

I will join the slow day club:





Once again I missed a couple trades. For whatever reason the trades that show up at 8am or close to it seem to catch me off guard. I'm there and ready to go by 8 (and sometimes just getting to the computer by 8) and I think it takes me a little to settle in sometimes which is costing me trades.

Good news is that I really saw this b/c of this thread and it's something I can work on.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Screwed the pooch today. Could've been profitable but I took +.25 on a textbook 7pt move this morning due to mismanagement and got caught in a megaphone pattern in the afternoon. Disappointed in my execution overall.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

dae - we've all been there and done that. Learn from the mistakes and make sure it doesn't happen again (or not that often).

Not bad, but not great. In the TL chat room I posted a pretty nice LIVE ES trade but that was done in a different account from this smaller one that I am using in this thread. I thought about including it to boost the number, but it's really not fair to myself since I am focusing more on my bond trades and this smaller account for this thread.

On a side note, the TL chat room is an interesting thing. There's a couple that actually post trades live (props to eminiME and firewalker) and there's others that would give the appearance of trading, yet will not post when a trade is showing up and/or whether or not they took the trade. What's the point of pretending on an anonymous chat room? If you aren't trading, then WORK ON IT AND STOP PRETENDING.

I guess it's sometimes easier to just keep the deception going than to admit what is really occurring.



I haven't used the TL blog space here before but I think I may use that to document my personal views and opinions of this chat room. It will be MY opinions so hopefully they can be respected w/o moderation...

Re: Trader P/L 2009

FYI - we are on page 4 of this thread but it has over 1000 views! Amazing!

I might need to talk to James about some page hit revenue sharing or something. lol


I also started a blog here.

Just my opinions of the chat room and what you can expect from it.
