If you get a few minutes, watch this video from Arnold. Near the end he says a few things that just hit me at the right moment this morning. Enjoy.

Great Video
That reminded me of some self-help I listen too, Jim Rohn
He talks about why the same thing happens to 2 people, 1 fails and the other secedes
The wind blows on us all. We all have up’s and down’s. We need to educate ourselves.
That way when the next wind comes along we set our sails instead of rowing the boat.
We do better with less effort which comes from experience
We get better with persistence and more education.

Jim is one of my favorites. I had the chance to meet him in person many years ago. He had a way of making you feel like you could do anything and he did it without yelling. Just the spoken word in a normal tone. No hype, just facts.

Interesting times. We are currently about 250 points below the Jan 2 2018 open. The blue, yellow and red lines are support lines I drew early in November. The two white lines are potential support areas coming up if the downtrend continues. Guess there won't be a Santa rally this year.

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!

I found this from bm go to 50 minutes and then get a full explanation of the backing off and pushing forward. is what I told you but this is more polished. I would recommend the entire video if you have the time. My focus is ES only, just to remind you.

Thanks for your journal.

Markets seem a bit jittery this morning ahead of GDP news in about 90 minutes. Overnight volume has been good and as of this post we are already at 93k+ traded on NQ.

Could be another interesting day once GDP numbers come out. Our job as traders is not to make waves we just ride them.

The insanity that is NQ. LOL! 160+ tick 1 minute spike just a few minutes before market open. It's bad when oil looks like a easier trade. LOL!

In my opinion my system and this price movement are far from compatible. I just watched it make that 105 point move without any reasonable pull back all the way down to the 10 second chart. Not trading the 10 second chart just looking for a way to take advantage of these wild moves.

I will wait for it and me to calm down a bit before making any moves.
