Same here ... market is WILD today ...

Plan the Trade

Another issue I see is that I am sometimes too quick to close out a trade ... I basically wreck the trade by not giving it enough room to breath and miss a lot of 10's and 20's because of that ... not really deep down completely accepting the risk ...

I know you guys do not trade on Wednesdays but I need the practice so I did ... basically break even but I was a bit more patient and narrowly missed a few good ones ... practice makes perfect, they say

Nice trading fellows ... you are all an inspiration ! I was a bit trigger happy today ... did not wait patiently for only great setups ... ended with 8 ticks when I had to leave after an hour or so of trading ... just missed two beautiful 20's ...

I could again just trade an hour or so and agree .. the market rhythm was difficult ... missed two neat 20's by getting out too quickly ... not accepting the risk ... that is one of my issues ... managed to end at -4 when I had to leave. It is all ...

The charts look much better, thanks, had another good run with the new settings.

Got it ... thank you!

I experimented with a few chart features and trailing stops yesterday but it was disasterous so I am not sharing that chart :-) Today went fine ... just one question... why would your chart look different than mine, Mr D ... is there more than one ...

Plan the Trade

Learned a valuable lesson today ... I could only trade for about 20minutes after NY open before I had to go to a meeting ... I was tense and .... totally blotched it up ... -37 ticks within the blink of an eye ... lesson = DO NOT TRADE WHEN YOU ARE ...

Plan the Trade

Agreed, it helps very much to compare the more experienced trader's charts to mine and see where I missed it. I could not trade the full session yesterday and ended with -9 ticks, a big improvement over last week when I traded too wild. I am getting ...

I also got clobbered on Thursday and couldn't trade Friday ... had a better day today ... practice and patience ad infinitum

Agree ... PA is dodgy ... 14 up so far but bit by bit ....

Plan the Trade

I agree, one of the issues with trading for me is there is so much stuff to trade and then I end up trading nothing well ... better to focus like our mentors are showing us.

[quote=The Cableguy;11019392] I've already been there and done that, several times... gone round and around in circles, but i've given up trying anything other than the NQ nowadays. The Dax sometimes moves plenty, but not often enough. I'm finding ...

Sjoe, you guys get way better setups with the 133 vs the 1 minute that I currently have .... I will have to make a plan ....

Here are a few screen dumps of my DAX trades ... the good, the bad and the ugly ... like I mentioned I had some issue with nooks and crannies but are getting better .. all trades live on 1 minute chart but with low lots ... I do not trust the demo ...

Plan the Trade

Thanks for the nooks and crannies video, Mr D ... much appreciated ! I agree with regard to the DAX ... but I still get good results ... I am testing the first 1.5 hours after Londen open with the DAX and then 1.5 hours after the NY open with NAS100 ...

Plan the Trade

I am drawing in the trend lines on the fly to try and identify the real trend vs the nooks and crannies .... started trading a bit late so missed the first few good ones and have had a few that was not taken ...

Plan the Trade

I seem to get stuck in the nooks and crannies too often ... manage risk well but then my profit only takes me to break-even again before the next wave of nook and cranny losses begin ... eish ... trying to get past that now with practice and ...
