Quoting The Cableguy
Sensible hour's trading for me, with 3 trades; {image} Nothing special, but felt calm. Also, i left my first trade on, even when i no longer liked PA (hope) and could have taken +3/+4 instead. I think that is worth acting upon. If it no longer looks right, get out with a small gain and go again next time. It's only small, but it all adds up in the end.
Nice trades are you trading live?

Nope, not switched permanently yet. I toggle it sometimes... but right now, just concentrating on building up the mental capacity to do so.

I think i'm happy with where i am with it all. It's been around 9 months or so of concentrating on the NQ and Futures and i feel like i've learnt loads about how it moves and reacts, what times i want to trade, how i want to trade it, how to use my stops, when to chase etc etc.

Guess i'm running out of excuses to stay on demo! A combination of larger minimum positions and the speed that this thing can move makes it quite a different prospect from trading FX crosses.

9 months? wow.. Do you think fear is holding you back? Do you have a written plan? Some times when you don't have a written plan then you don't have enough confidence to trade with real money.. Have strict rules and follow them.. What's the worst thing can happen? Maybe lose a couple of hundred of dollars.. then back to the drawing board.. When I listen to Harold speak, I can tell he has strict rules.. Matter of fact, all the full time traders that I know that trades for a living has strict rules.. Don't be afraid to lose money.. It's part of the game..

Quoting capstone
I took +6 on it. Based on previous action today, I didn't think it break the 93.50 level. I got in to early. Alright, that's a net of +22 today, net +38 for the week. I'll take it for a first week back in a long time. The break helped me I think. Now, this is in SIM, so no emotion with it. That helps.
Good work.

Without rules you have no plan. Pardon the pun but isn't this threads name plan the trade? It's not just finding entries but trade management
