Hey Ben : How is your scalping going still making the PIPs I hope.. I have gone back to my scalping as well. Using it with the Ma's as jumping points works well for me. I still have asperations of taking these longer term trades but want positive cash flow first.. I also am starting to hold for longer as I see how much I am leaving on the table..

Sorry to hear that.. That has been my issue for far to long.. I had a bad day friday. left a order open and stepped away took a big loss. Then got in at the bottom and took profit to early or it would have made it all back. But in the afternoon made about 1/2 back up. and yesterday and today have been good so far.

Hang in there it will all come together at some point. I am still planning to start taking longer trades and post my PO and TP areas for feed back. But I just got a new computer and still getting it setup and have guest coming in a few days.

PS I also have again reliazed I knew this before but forgot it. That as long as I don't get aggrevated and quit trading I stand a good chance of making my losses back up pretty quick. Plus I learn again and again that the smaller the loss the faster I am back on top.

I don't like ending a day or espicailly a week on a bad trade. So I tend to get a couple of good trades to quit on. Just make sure your mind is in the right state, Take a break or whatever you need to refocus at the task at hand. It is hard to feel bad about yourself for a long period of time till you can trade again.. I am talking about myself here.
