flattened all 81 shorts @ 1395 for now to see what sets up 79k profit
but the big stupid was the 1048 shorts i dumped at 2 points -if i would have let them run it would have been 800k at the same level -but there are always more trades coming-

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I appreciate your posts, and I hope you have benefited from your journal. I also know that others will benefit as well, just by reading about your own experiences.
A- 1-seeing the evil that is inside of all of us when it comes to wanting to be correct-
2-long term affect of posting calls in adavance for good quality moves
3-that there are more than 1 way to catch a fox -its not 1 way that works for all
4-systems of the past that have succeeded or failed can be more atributed to successful or poor timing
5-happy to find this site to do this
B- 1- not enough constructive verbage from others
2- my serious lack of computer knowledge -when it come to posting screen shots
3- my lack of interest in putting the time in to learn these things
4/5 unknown at this time
C- no -tried on another site in the past -and was up over 200% in just a few weeks and the post was disrupted
by a jackle -
D- i plan to continue -as with several different trading styles that i use -the calls can be quite different each 20 day period or so
E- FEAR of public failure is the #1 reason why most dont in my opinion -and thats the #1 reason they should -a journal forces you to slow down -just check the grammer and punctuation in this journal and you can see i suck at english -heck i am typing with 1 finger for goodness sake -you have no idea how many words my wife helped me spill fir dis pust --also as we near the birthday of the the worlds best trading teacher - Mr Loof Lirpa from germany -who has taught me more than anyone else about the trading world -happy birthday tommorrow -i use your spirit in every trade i call
1048 shorts i dumped at 2
