Sat down to do a chart replay tonight. 0/2 on the first two trades. I committed the cardinal sin of fading market strength.

The work continues. I continue to have an enormous amount of free time at work. I now have Sierra Chart set up well enough that I can sim trade if I want to.

I am finally setting up Sierra Chart. I was unhappy with my old platform and couldn't be happier with Sierra Chart. It is written in C++ which is about a million times faster than C# (the language...

Although I made a decision a week or two ago to finally trade with the trend, the paper trading the other day convinced me I still have some work to do mentally. I think about trading all the time...

Something jumps out at me when I look at your trades. Your losing trades are costing you $200+ but your winners are much smaller. I apologize for not reading more of your journal but does your...

Thank you Blackgrey45.

Important update: I traded live for a couple of days, MCL and YM on nights. It didn't go well, thankfully. I went back to the drawing board. I have a nearly unlimited...

It has been a putrid few days of trading. Bad entries, worse execution. A little revenge trading even. The only thing I have going for me is that I'm not moving my stoplosses.

I traded poorly tonight. Overtraded and pyramided too early. Costliest mistake was moving my stop *up* on a GC trade. Really humbled me. It would have been my best trade of the night as price turned...

Two paper trades tonight. I took a long on CL that just sat there for 20-30 minutes. I closed it out for a partial stop of 4 ticks. I still need to remind myself not to fight the market. Everything...
