what s happens here
break out or retrace
are acumulating or distributing?
one doubt i have about a dx correlation spx
the paper JPM from 2011 say dx is inv correl spx, because when risk on come , funds sell dx to invest abroad in emerg mkt
but lately they look positiv correl
also it look posit correl zb and spx
and bonds spx
and if int will go up, then dx go up, but zb go up? i think if int go uop zb go down
and bonds usd
i was wondering if all this things is to understand the why
but everybody say trade what you see, and later see why the move occurs
is it posible to realize why before trade?

The fight is fair against oneself
"trade what you see" for me means that just accept what you see on your charts without really asking why. just realising what is really happening is more profitable in my view than to understand the "why"s.
i see mix signals, down some /up some
it looks like trying to go down this morning, but nothing serious for now
after the reading of lazlo b. book i want to go long with the trend
now reading the victor n. i do not understand what happens with the difference between usb/ zb?(USB at $150 in stockchart#14 t vs zb H15 at $143 future? is that difference possible or there is a mistake? ask @tigertrader

waching all day the market is hard exercise
filling the excell and studying the EV take out the urgency to trade
waiting is one of the most dificult thing
more time studying and waiting and less trading will be benefitial for me
also with es it look like slow motion compared with nq
the divergences increase and some signals look like start to sell
i made a short trade yesterday that work well today

trading on down of pascalchanel, ready to break down?
next target 2030 based on vp
now the real problem
my story
while i was wachting the market, i was calm, under control
today i made the day9 of my combine2
i made to finish it, i have 2 more days, and i need to do it today and friday
the plan was good at first
short 2080 5 lot with 3k risk
but i have started to think strange things, while i was waiting this trade, i can try some bets on cl, gc?
go to trade and lost,
then a chain reaction start
i want it back
i forget the risk? or took it anyway, because i break the combine rules, then the only good thing it is dreaming killer
is the same than on all others
i lost the respect and digging the hole with me inside
same story, same end
with a new record ATL 9 losing day in a row ,touching the limit
is this possible?
i am stupid?
how can i start thinking ,only es and then jump to cl, gc?
evidently i think i can do something i can not do it...yet
one and other time the same
i need to....i do not know what
how can i pass that test, ?
waiting for the very high prob trades, very dificult to do, because i think i am in front of that opportunity but not
start small
add to the winners
i a have 4k5 mdd, and 3k maxdll, and 10 days
if i risk at first 700 trade 14 es point 1 lot
i can trade 6 losing trades in a row max
i need to choose the proper mkt condition (trending)
if the trade will go good, i can add to it,
if it go bad, i can scrath it ,avoid increase risk than planned
if i win i can repeat the process to go further away form that limit 4k5 to have more risk to trade ,and use when the righjt chance appear,
stop for the day?
reach 700 or 2800?
better 700 and come tomorrow or find another day, another opportunity
the overtrade, emotion state kill me for sure
the key will be, when i lose 1 lot, when i win more size, bigger better
but without increase my max allowes risk
it is bloody difficult for tomorrow
i want to short this market, but the good entry it is not now(the stop i need is more than 30p), i need to wait spike up
and fade , if supposed that the right direction now is short
but i can not pre guess
i need to see tomorrow
once i enter , i do not have to start betting as a crazy each chart that moves
also is the tf i use
i want to practice the right things are good for me to learn to trade
but i do not know which are them
or i can not do it?
or a mix

well this 2014 was a year where i have learn a lot and practice a lot, also the year i have lose less
i am receiving more hits from the markets than i thought
i left behind and for ever scalping
I left behind small stops for ever
I feel ok with SI SO
learn to be more objective
wait for the better trades possibility
control my self in the losers (to exit)and the winners (to staying)
not became emotional and out of control
not overtrade
respect the risk rules limits
learn correlations
learn to read the market
learn to read the market as unfold
learn to manage risk
pass the combine150
upgrade the combine to 450
i will trade ES
not go to other market after i learn this
sub goals
