shorted and closed immediately after entry. i didn't realize the stop was over .60 away.

i thought this was a beautiful 15min chart ready to go higher

this could be the reason the OCR and TGT trades didn't work. surprisingly though, CF went up


i'm going to say it didn't work because of the overall market. i thought it looked great on the 15min
awesome 15 min chart that i missed
for some reason i can't write below the last pic tonight. anyway, i am hoping that all my duties from the last few weeks will be wrapped up by the end of this week. besides all that, it has been very busy over here dealing with a possible new house, possible new car, customs bureaucracy, online college courses and a host of other things that have occupied most of my days. i feel that if i can't give trading 100%, then i will wait until that point in the day when i can. for me, i would rather get everything done in the morning. that way, i am not trading the morning and thinking about what needs to get done that afternoon. although it is the best way for me, it is back firing because i am only catching the last 2 hours or so of the market. hopefully, i can get some decent sleep tonight, and trade all day tomorrow. we will see.

  1. Heya bro - for some reason my reader doesn't pick up the captions on the pictures, I thought you had just posted pics until I came and checked it out.

    So you only traded the afternoon session? Again - I would say some well placed trades. Hope you can find more time tomorrow.

    Looks like Scott is pretty much done with blogging. Glad he is keeping the blog open.

    Sleep well.

  3. thanks for pointing that out. i never thought to check to see what it looks like in reader. are you using the "beta or draft blogger" i think they call it, or the old system? the new system is awesome for uploading pics, but sometimes i am able to separate the charts and sometimes not. oh well. i will figure it out eventually.

    as long as he keeps it open its cool. and he said he will update from time to time, so that would be good. i love to see that he makes money when everyone else is pessimistic. i'm sure it's just totally boring for him already. same thing, day in and day out. maybe we can take over for him in a year or two.

    i tried writing you back on skype, but it just should the entry with a spinning symbol next to it. for some reason it wasn't getting delivered.

    glad the book was helpful for you. i'm going to try to hit the bed early tonight. whats amazing to me, even though i can dedicate time to the last 2 hours of trading, i can't concentrate for 2 hours straight. i last about 20mins and without realizing it, i'm on the internet or listening to a talk show on sirius. i need to work on that.

    later
