Plan the Trade

Hasn't been choppy this week! Big Moves! Yesterday a little choppy. But the range had nice swings to it.

I had margin warnings from some of my older brokers. Price is now like a party blow tickler, in other words unless you have big stops tears are guaranteed. Edit, normality returned at 11.32...

Humming today. Moving fast!

+20 Much better today

been out catching up on work commitments after "minor surgery" recovery a couple of weeks ago. market conditions seem to have gone
from erratic to awful. money management is key for me during these times. needed a little batting practice on sim (probably for the next
week at least). took a 123 (times 2) missed a second entry. anticipated a possible 2B coming up, so set stops above previous congestion
high. anyways grabbed 20T on this one. trade safe.

Stops too much for me today guys. Have a good weekend, whatever you are up to.

I started trading options this week with the little bit of money I had left at Think or Swim. The rest of my money is now at AMP Futures and I am still planning on starting my trading of the MES/ES there next week. But I had a tremendous start trading options, so now I don't know. I may spend a few weeks concentrating on these before I go back to futures. I like waiting for a set up, taking a position, having limited risk, and then getting on my day while I wait for the trade to play out over a day or two.

I hope everyone is doing great with their funding combines and other trading! Have a great weekend!

amen, it should only get wilder from here for the next 4-5 days of trading US indices futures.

Day 14
Tough week for me. Every winning day was followed by a loser. Only managed to squeeze out about 500$ this week. 2.3k out of the 4.3k goal!

It should be an interesting week. Hang onto your accounts everyone.

took an "anticipated" 123 for 16T. price action seemed almost normal for a short bit, but knew it wouldn't last long. will keep an eye out
for any more hesitations in current market conditions. trade safe.

picked up another 9T long on a 123. just hold your breath and enter the trade and hopefully nothing random spikes you out.

Thank you so much for sharing these important strategies. This will help a lot of beginner traders. Never really trading without a plan.

Where have you been Mr Divergence? I hope you and Mrs Divergence are well!

Funded the AMP account and I love the Trading Technologies platform so far. I am sim trading with live data this week to learn to avoid unforced errors. I won't make any momey this week, but I won't lose any by making mistakes because I'm unfamiliar with the platform either

Caution this morning...Georgia election officials to talk at 10 or 10:30 and Pelosi at 10:30 or 11. At least that's what the news said. Hope everyone has had a green week!

2 decent trades, IF I could have afforded the stops...Looking forward to some kinder structure, although I fear that may take some time. Have a good one guys.

only the bold chancing this market. took a sim trade on a 3 minute chart, lots of fill needed around the whole number, closed plus 32 (times 4)
on a spike down to previous support. otherwise, market conditions still to volatile to get stopped out on spikes,eroding capital.
"no fear" erasmus you are doing great.
