Enjoying the thread - even if input is limited sometimes. The nice part - no one is selling anything - so you know the input is (likely) genuine. Helps reinforce the concept that you can trade what works for you - and be successful.

Spent the better part of the week dealing with the Swine (overhyped) Flu. Am an ER doc/director - and it has taken me away from the market since Monday.

The good - missed some of the chop that was the ES/NQ.
The bad - missed the set up for FESX once again (2270 level paid off three times...unfortunately only got it once.)


The one thing I am starting to notice on my performace - have two accounts. One is with TS - which is where I do my charting. Very easy/convenient to drop a quick (impulse - feeling - gut) trade. Other account is with Ninja - where I set up some "perfect" level trades.
TS account: -5% for the past month.
Ninja account: + 40% with a 90% win ratio.

Nugget in that statistic...just need to keep reminding myself of it during the day when the impulse to push the button hits.

Four days away from trading did let me know one thing - I missed trading. Looking forward to the markets opening up on Monday! Hopefully the CDC & Media wont go crazy over the weekend.

Hello,
This is my last stand as a trader. I have 3 months to turn things around.
Perhaps, joining the thread will promote greater accountability, competitive drive. and sharing ideas.
I trade FX, gpb/usd.


Today's is a bank holiday in UK. I'll start posting tomorrow.
Thanks

Perfect trades (if executed to the plan). Got out of the 6E way to soon here. Nailed the LODs on both trades, but too quick to hit the flatten button.

Having a horrible day, I have not been following my plan and getting horrible fills. Trying to stick with the plan this afternoon and hopefully can get to even.

3 trades thus far - all short - and all losers. Not great set ups - but certainly not dogs either. Just didnt work. Good thing - I stuck to my exits.

So dont feel bad - you have company. (By the way - Nice trades earlier Brownsfan !! Love how you are packed up and done in a couple hours!)

Of course I saw one nice set up - and didnt get the limit fill - then took it off the table - only to have the market come back and hit the # again when I wasnt by the computer.

Of course - it looks like that one is gonna be a nice trade (891.25 to target of 898) Nice to sid idly by - and watch it - with zero money in the trade.

Will hang in there and see if something sets up this afternoon.

P&L later - but it is likely gonna be red today.

I feel your pain all my losses where shorts and to rub it in I got stopped out on a huge loss at the high before it turned and of course it went down under my short .
