Plan the Trade

+18

internet and connectivity issues yesterday so no trades. finally got cleared up mid session internet spotty after that for a bit. came in late this
morning so thought it being an fomc day, I would just line out what i was seeing for price action. helps me curb those impules to "buy" or "sell"
because it is ready to "re-trace" and I can maybe grab 6-12 T. kind of like doing homework in school. hope a;; are well.
good luck

Yep, looks like a shite sack today and it is Wednesday. Driving up to Valencia so I'll be quiet until Tue Wed next week. Good luck everybody.

Much messing about. Up overall though.

pretty quiet thread. spent last 11 days away from the internet. deer season took priority. looks like rumor still moves the market. spent an hour or
so spotting set ups, marked them out as I saw them. no trades for a couple of sessions until I'm ready to get out of the batting cage to face live pitching.
good luck

On holiday in Canaries and banned from using the computer by the other half. Will resume next week. Quiet cos everyone is making money

Markets have been slow recently, today again a test of patience but ended up being a good day with 3 out of 2 trades hitting target for +41. Two great '2B Break at a zone' setups. Should not have taken the last setup, 2B other direction and bouncing of vwap. Was on Sim to test some new setups but those need a but more movement

a couple of live trades at the end of the week, plus 16 and plus 17 (3 and 2 trade days). looked in late this morning after mkt open for 20 min or so.
lots moving for the next 40 min but didn't have a feel for the price action so turned it off for now. to much china this and trade deal that, makes for
erratic trading and algo stop hunts. 2 more weeks and I will have traded this index live for 6 months (one e-mini per trade). I'll post my graph then move to 2 e-mini's
by the 1st. I will probably move posting to another forum, or just stay off the boards for a while. hope all are making money for x-mass.
good luck

minus 5 and plus 5 trades. missed many as price action was more volatile than usual.seems to be looking for a larger move on news (from the usual suspects)
as an excuse to take profits.
good luck

+ 30, but too many trades. First day back for me so just warming up. BE
+48 turned out ok. If I'd just waited for it to start moving.

up early, pouring rain here agitating the dogs. watched pre-market for almost an hour, 2 trades after the open plus 2 (didn't like the set up) and plus 9.
taking a break as a couple of hours of concentration over a chart is my limit before I drift, make mistakes etc.
good luck

still raining, dogs still upset. short session this morning, but went back and outlined some pre-market ranges to see what the "artificials"
were looking to plow through. one trade plus 6. still volatile, mostly on the trade thing, Xi loves me, he loves me not rumors.
good luck

+22, 3 trades

late to the party this morning, at least no rain here today. dogs are happy. one trade plus 6 looks a bit ominous heading into the weekend. random tweet
from FCC of all places sent this one lower. probably only have time to trade monday or maybe tues next week, holiday coming up here in
the states. also included a chart of my trading results since trading futures live for 6 months (june 1st). will start moving to 2 e-mini contracts through dec and by the first of the year hope to solidly trading 2 lots at a time.
good luck

+17 today, but a ridiculous 12 trades, which I won't bore anyone with. I had it in my head it was going to go up, which it did (& I caught it), but I'm too knackered now to carry on burning time. If I'd have stayed in at the last one, the day would have been done. Unfortunately, I'd slowly been conditioned to take my profits too soon by the previous hour or so's action.

Hello Guys, check this out

Got some bug & feel like I've been kicked down a flight of stairs, so managed +18 with 6 trades. Off to bed now for the afternoon, see if I can shake it. Thanks for the video Mody88.

-15 in fees. Max drawdown was 10, stop was at + 1 after 10. If I had set my TP to +10 I'd have been up +40. I wanted to let it run, and the market had other ideas.

+17 that'll do for today, crap ATR.

plus7 and an impatient plus 2 (even though I saw buyers coming in) must be symptoms remaining of TMT. (too much turkey). market conditions (china and tweets)
driving the artificials wild this morning so left it alone for the most part. still one contract, we'll see. moved between 20sec and 60sec chart due to volatility.
good luck
