| it just felt like it wasn't going to work. i wasn't trusting this move. i told myself wait for the pullback. what good that did. |
 |
| no trade |

| same thing like the V trade. i didn't trust the move, i wanted to wait for a pullback but i said, i have to get in it. |
 |
| decent set up on the 15. sick trend all day. |
 |
| looked ready to go back to highs. whoops. |
 |
| i wanted to short this all day long but i didn't have the patience to watch it. |
 |
| that 12:15 doji would have gotten me if i trade it. |
 |
| strange entry. i thought the market would crack to lows. clearly it was in an uptrend all day so i should have been looking to get long. but how do you know? |
i don't know why i get frustrated so quickly when a trade doesn't go my way. obviously, i am not believing in the probabilities yet. because i know, there is a random outcome to the trades. there is no need to get upset. it is okay to be "wrong". it throws me off some mornings so fast i just give up.
i think i am going to spend my time finding the best acting stocks. then whittle it down to a list of 10. have each chart up NT style or maybe i will just click through 'em. i need to take this back to basics. i get lost when i am constantly looking for the next setup. while all the while, the stocks i saw earlier are setting up now. it's like i miss the current setup while i am looking for the next setup.
i will have to re-arrange my screens and see how much memory this takes through NT.
Heya - for some reason I can't click on any of the charts with comments on them. It is like they won't enlarge or something. The only ones I can click on are the EOD summary and SPY.
ReplyDeleteMe too on the setups - gotta watch for them. I think am going to try and make it a habit to not add anything new to the list until I check what is already on the list for a setup. The mornings can be crazy - they just keep rolling in.
super strange. you are right. i blew 'em up because they wouldn't click over no matter what i did. i wonder if blogger changed something with the caption. we will see tomorrow.
ReplyDeletealso, i checked the simulation options, and enforce partial fills was unchecked. so i don't know why i get those crazy partials.
I have the 'Enforce Immediate Fills' checked - maybe that is the one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for blowing the charts up.
Heh - looks like we had the exact same long entry on V. Kind of cool. My stop was lower - did you scale out?
Great job on ETN and MA!
lol, only MA. i was on the wrong side ETN. It felt like the same thing that happened with V. My stop of V was way lower, like .60 or .70 which is why i took of the first chunk. then, i said "this is b.s., i know this isn't going to work. need to wait for the pullback" so i exited. i haven't exited early in a long time but it didn't feel right. like i knew what they were doing behind the scenes. it was good to trust the instincts, just needed to get back on that horse after the retrace.
ReplyDeletei bolted the 28 inch to the wall above my 3 22's. it kind of makes me dizzy and sick, lol. lets see what happens tomorrow. i can fit 8 stocks on the screen. i want to try to find the best 8, and check 'em every 10-15mins. i need an alarm to go off over 15min so i remember.
