This whole Greece thing is a real spanner in the works for day traders this week. I think you have traded today quite well considering the lack of markets intent to trend in europe session...

All my best,

I can understand the need for focus dongsky. No need to post stuff in real-time either IMHO. I've typically found that I get more of a benefit when reviewing my actions when the sh!t hits the fan rather than when the sky is blue and the sun is shining. Maybe it is opposite for you and that is cool.

Of course do whatever you need to do to get the maximum benefit for yourself. If this journal was just for you and not intended for the public, then simply writing in a physical notebook or a virtual notebook on your own computer would suffice. But...

Mk,

When his positions needs his full attention then he must do so... He is sharing his trades real time when he can but at the end of the day, it's his money that's needs baby sitting...not you or me. So appreciate what you can get. He is by no means obligated to hand hold everyone here. So I suggest you get over it and move on.

hi Will,

i think MK doesn't mean to be mean... maybe what he wants is to see more of my trades... also the bad trades... that he can really compare notes with me... that he will know if i'm doing better than him...

that's fine a lot of people wanna see how i manage my loosing position(s)... but to be honest if i will post all my rescue or how i managed my position... most of them won't understand... and won't be beneficial to them... it migh just ruin themselves... remember to each his own...

Hi Eddy,
I think your posts and charts are very helpfull even if they are not with trades in real time.We can see how you look on market and what u see.At least for me your thread is great something like a translator of TAF.
Thanks for your time Eddy.

I hate to post this in dongsky's thread because it just detracts from the thread purpose, but I feel I must post this because this is the second person that has felt compelled to have a rant at me.

I have never been asking for hand holding - why would I need or want that? My trading results are my own responsibility and no one elses. I have never asked for real-time posts, in fact I stated that the opposite is just as beneficial when both sides of the ledger are demonstrated (winners and losers). I acknowledged the need for focus.

This journal has the potential to be unique. I have read many of the pages in this journal this week and felt that there was a pattern of only posting the good trades and ceasing to post when things went wrong. There are hundreds of journals on the Internet that do that, but very very very few that ever post both sides of the coin. Especially with a scale-in approach in a publicly viewable journal newbies need to see what can happen when things go wrong. I'm in no way attempting to discredit the approach as I have already stated before I trade in a highly similar fashion but am probably less aggressive than dongsky is - each to their own.

With regards to your suggestion - maybe you should do the same.

Hi dongsky,

There was absolutely zero intent to compare myself to your trading at all. I really don't know why you would think that. There was no ego or ulterior intent with my post.

Look, I'm not going to belabor the point of my initial post in this journal. It would absolutely without a doubt be beneficial for people to see at least some rescues, even the rescues that were aborted and the troops were left to die. As I had stated before, it doesn't have to be real-time or every single rescue you ever do. People would see value in it - but clearly that is just me as so far all I've received is criticism for my post.

My best wishes dongsky,
MK

This journal...

thanks MK ... and to you the same!

this reminds me of the market... different people see different things using the same market, chart and period... i always welcome criticism... it will make me check from time to time myself... a good balance... sometimes i become too greedy too and over confident... i'm just human... and bound for heaps of mistakes...

all the best to you MK

still flat...

i don't like what i see ... seems like someone manipulating euro or perhaps
someone protecting positions...

i've heard that china is buying euro... at least 2b a day... just to maintain level...

i dunno... but i cannot feel the market at the moment...

I can't agree more.
Market sentiment is bearish to me.
But an entire army is drawn up to defend Euro from a crash.

This one hurt me a bit...I sold 1.4521 and added 1.4502, dumped them all at 1.4521. I'm hesitant to rescue shorts just because I don't have any obvious higher time frame R in this area yet. Prefer longs, but haven't been seeing obvious longs other than the last area you marked on the prior chart...sucking it today and finding it hard.

this is the reason why i am not aggressive in my skews at the moment,...

i always dance in the "now" that's why i always feel the market with 5min tf and 15min for short term direction... specially at the current situation of my market.. euro...

let's be nimble...

here's my conservative trades...
