{quote} I guess it was a love at first sight.... need to slow down for sure. I am use to such aggressiveness when I am in profit. until then it is one contract slow pace but when things go my way, I got all in and not worry about losing some/most of my profits. I realize this is against the "daily income" mindset so need some tweaking. I will try to use that account close/all freeze/lock feature in Sierra.
When you put on trade does entry stop and target lines appear?

{quote} hmm... they only gave me access to CQG mobile... which I hate, I will ask if I can get access to desktop. I am finally done for the day (or maybe not lol) Edit: Yikes, I trades 81 trades or around 40 contracts round trip. I am making my broker love me :-( {image}
mobile is desktop now.

i personally prefer tradingview cause i need the cloud access. plus cme uses it for informational purposes. i'm one with cme

What a day! my first day of trading a live futures account. Went with AMP/Sierra/CQG wit account activation 10 minutes before market open. click/clickity/click to quickly setup Sierra to connect to CQG and got rolling. Intra-day chart simply would not work so used ThinkOrSwim charting with Sierra's DOM. long story short, I was up $750 on a $2K by 7:35am pacific and then started making mistakes (lost focus as it was approaching time to srop my son to school !!!) Ended the day with $170 in profit :-(
are you trading manually or auto?

Ended at -17 today ... if I had more time I am pretty sure I would have been able to catch another +25 or so and end at near BE ... but alas, I did not so could not.

When I review my trades it is quite clear to see that I can reach my target each and every session BUT during most sessions I have 1 or 2 unnecessary losses or a trade or two that I meddled with that would have gone for +25 ... the result being that I do not reach the target.

Except to continue practicing I do see one thing that might help ... if I have positive ticks and a time deadline is getting near I must rather stop trading ... the nearing deadline cause tension and my mistake rate goes way up ... like today ...

I've never used the demo button. Not sure what that is. With an account, I always go through Simulated live. Does it mean your demo period is over?

I just sat through 50 minutes of draw down that missed my stop by less than a pip just for price to spike back in my direction in 10 seconds for a TP.

Testing my mettle for my first trade in the week Euro?!

I know i know, this has nothing to do with NQ but i just wanted to vent.

No entries yet for me. Candles are to big based on stop loss. no connections. Patience....
