She is giving us all a lesson in money management....... she may intuitively know what is best.

I quite admire her and her dad for her progress...

She had a good day,

PS No trades for me today, I was a bit knocked down this morning by a migraine.

Been a while since I wrote here, it's been a rough road, actually i just came back from 11 days of being down, total is about $2000 loss. I trade bond futures and lately have been very frustrated in trying to make ''big trades'' which I regretfully learned can kill you while you are trying. For the last 4 days though I cut the bleeding (and size). I sized back to trading 1 lots scalping for confidence building. Not much in profits, a meager $300 in the last 4 days, but getting back on my feet slowly.

I don't know if any of you ever had such a loss streak, maybe you can share on how you remedied it with the rest of us?

Tomorrow is another day and I am aiming for a 5th day of winnings...

Cheers.

I suffer from frequent migraines, the normal meds dont work so I have to take narcotic pain relievers and then cant trade, I can actually tell when it is going to rain due to the kind of headache I get from the barometric pressure.

Hi folks,

Looks like everyone has fallen off from here ... perhaps the p/l thread should go on hiatus for the summer.

At any rate, I three trades on two stocks, NOC + 63 pennies (two long trades) and WHR +98 pennies for +1.61/share traded.

I also had a 6B (Pound futures) trade that I closed at +2 ticks after watching the pound meander all morning long.

My daughter fared better than I. She traded the EURJPY and the GBPUSD, 2 wins out four trades, and finished the day +$22.06. And she did it all between breakfast and lunch while engrossed in the last book of the Harry Potter series. She goes to bed tonight with a closed equity in the microlot account of $211.20, up from last night's $189.14 close.

Best Wishes,

Thales

I am back.

Today I scalped, really just a little.

While I think that the way to go for me, is to trade the 6E,

today I started to trade/scalp the NQ in real.

I guess my biggest mental problem is still fear.
So I have to trade real, even if just small at the beginning,
otherwise I will not overcome this problem,
and time is running too.
