i think it was a great entry. iffy exit. i was just done for the day. i didn't want to keep fighting. looked like the whole market was trying to turn over.

no trade. i was watching this one. made a nice move but i don't know if i would have been stopped on that 2:45 area.

again, i love the entry. the exit was a wimpy one but in reality, i thought the market was turning with the gold stocks.

little devil. i can't tell if my entry bar short broke the real body of the doji. anway, i loaded up 400 shares, tight stop at .09. well, so much for the tight stop. i got stopped out at .20 on each lot. double the loss i was expecting.

this is when i started exiting all positions. i thought gold was the tell today since it was such a champ all morning.

boy oh boy oh boy

nothing got going here
nice looking

i think i was frustrated today because i couldn't make much happen. it doesn't help waking up late. i was looking for the market to break highs in the afternoon. i positioned myself for it but it never came. looking back on the day, it seems i had some excellent entries and great looking charts. so no reason to get upset. try to get some solid sleep tonight and kill it tomorrow. the money is there. the signals are there. it is my job to be patient and what for it. don't force it. only trade the "prettiest" charts and let the rest do their thing. once in a while catch a popper dropper and let the good times roll.


easy read on the 12:15'ish short but had to keep in mind trend was up. so it would just be a retracement play.

  1. Just looking at your EOD NT trades list - you can uncheck the 'Enforce partial fills' button under the Simulator tab on the options. This should eliminate the odd fills.

    Looks like you had some great entries, market was just in an afternoon funk.

    Hope you can get some sleep bro.
