....probably done for the day, did buy at 93s for swing entry then closed out to scalp, did reload also but thinking about closing up as hit my targets plus some.




i will be more aggressive if & when i build my account up. tried to reload then but was bid just below then poof, all gone.

Nice thread! Seems we have some similar issues, I too used to be pretty focused on order flow, and I too have reduced how much I look at the DOM.

Will follow with interest!

thanks dude, am following you, we need help....Us v the computers!

Lets start an army, che FGBL! The retail manifesto.

i just lost 3.5 pts on a long posn, am long again......i dont mind fading pull backs in strong trend market (jk)....internals were good, but lets see how much i can erode my profits in this little down trend. the 85 area is very solid support, shame didnt get there.....maybe it will soon, just not now....tmrw wld be perfect!

another poorly played end of day for me - was long avg 2198 and took small profit.....why! I know why, i had too much size on - 6 lots.......making 400 bucks with that amount will eventually kill my account when i take the hit. I should be making that with 2 lots and 3 x that with 6 lots. Poor trading for 2nd day running. Not happy.
