No trades today. Technical issues connecting to my trading PC.

Made three "mistake" trades which gave me a $58 loss instead of a $75 profit. Really need to stay more focused to avoid these errors!

NQ: Speed/Mac, should have been a long but I sold by mistake. -7


YM: Long, Speed/Mac. BH signaled the trade but it was a VERY bad setup, should not have taken it. -7


FDAX: Long, Speed/Flash, +5


YM: Long, Speed/Flash, +8 (squeezed out a few more ticks)


TF: Short, FT trade, Poor technique, should not have been filled, trailed order too close. -7

A little history, I began trading in about 1994, when we used paper charts mailed to you! I have never been what I felt was a "successful" trader, I would win a little and lose a lot. I have tried options trading, position trading, swing trading and now have settled on day trading. The reason I like day trading is because I can get in and out very quickly and not have my money exposed to the markets for very long. The less time I'm a trade, the more I like it! I am currently trading the CL, FDAX, TF, YM, NQ and (rarely) ES.

I joined The Intentional Trader in March 2014, I purchased their full indicator package, trading room access and the "VIP" membership. I am not affiliated with them in any way except for being a customer. I began by SIM trading their setup's using the indicators that I purchased from them. Once I developed confidence with the setups, I started trading "live" with real money on January 12th 2015.

The reason I am starting this journal is to keep an electronic record of the trades that I take and to make myself accountable for those trades, I now believe accountability is very important to consistent, successful trading. I will be posting screenshots along with my daily and monthly results and a brief explanation of each trade. My results will probably not be typical of others in the IT trading room since I currently have to trade while at work, there are many distractions and trades I miss because of this. These results are my personal trades, trading "live" with real money. I will post all trades, winners, losers, etc.

Welcome to the journey!

Hi mlarocco,
