Good to hear from you again !
TradingOgre
Now that everyone is healthy again...... time to get back at it full speed. There are a few changes:
1. After today (since I am already up) no early morning trading. My plan is to get up sometime between 5 and 6 (eastern time US) instead of the ridiculous-o'clock I have been getting up. I won't take a trade until I have been up for about an hour. Let the fog clear before takeoff.
2. I am switching to primarily time based charts. I love the detail that tick based gives me but it is hard to watch the screen all the time due to tick based charts not having a set time to finish.
3. I am looking for just a few key trades every day. In a perfect world I would love to take a trade and hold it until the end of the day. We all know how reliable that would be. LOL! I am monitoring the 1,5 and 15 minute charts now. 1 minute for entries with no
bias from higher time frames. If a higher time frame happens to match my entry direction then I will use it to manage the trade. This should help me hold onto trades longer.
4. I will record EVERY trading session and post it to YouTube. Including today.
5. I have no set target as far as
points or income goes. What the market gives is what the market gives.
6. If I miss a trade I miss a trade. So what. If it turns into a good trend then chances are there will be pull backs and places to join the trend.
7. With trades, hopefully, lasting longer I will post
screen shots along the way. May not be a bunch of commentary but at least the
screen shot will be here.
Over the next 3-6 months I want to add in ES, CL and 6E to the mix but I won't start that until January. I will do that slowly. One at a time. I will finish the year on NQ only.
Now, lets go make some money! I have some toys I want to buy and my toys aren't cheap. LOL!

Confidence level near zero. Had multiple pending orders but chickened out before they filled. If I would have left them on the large majority of them would have been profitable. It's tough when you have been out of the loop for a while.

Here are examples of trades I missed. Not complaining. I saw them as they developed which is good. Just couldn't push myself to leave the pending order in place.
