So, to me..the number one thing is to try and ascertain as early in the session as possible what type of conditions are underway..and if we are in a consolidation phase, the early stage of a reversal..or a pullback. This is one of the reasons every 5 minutes or so, I will scribble on a notebook what type of conditions the market is in. The more I describe the prevailing price movement by speaking out loud or in writing, the more in tune I get. If I rely on my silent thoughts, I don't seem to do as well.

I'm currently trading 8 different markets. I personally stay away from gold because it seems to have flash crashes too frequently. For example, take a look at the 7/19/15 intraday chart of gold.

Great video! It sums up exactly where I have been for the last several months. Thanks for sharing!

Unbelievable strength in Oil today. I did well..but left a lot of money on the table. I had several opportunities I didn't take because I was way up on the day..and didn't want to give anything back. That's an amateur mindset. If the market is offering these kind of moves..you have to keep taking them. This could have been a 100-150 tick day easily and I settled for 55 ticks.
