Was looking over charts, and marking areas of major S/R on my 5-min chart. I just recently fired up Sterling Trader and saw what looked like...
No trading today. Taking the day off to study charts and try to refine my "edge." I've been meaning to do this for 3 days now, so I'm just gonna...
Jack, I just started a journal about the very same process. I'm probably a bit behind you in this journey, but one thing that has helped me...
Thanks for the advice! Even is S/R is subjective, if enough people see it and act accordingly, then it becomes tradable right?
Ohhh. I knew nothing of Friday's resistance. How could you tell it was a resistance area? If you look at AMZN from Friday, are you referring to...
Jas_in_hbca, I hadn't specified any target before the trade because I wasn't sure how much to aim for. I guess that was my first mistake....
<b>(-69.00)</b> I bought 300 shares at 190.17, during what I thought was a pullback. It was near the low of the 11:00am candle. Price went in...
Okay, brand new day. Just made my first trade on AMZN. Feeling pretty good, and because at this point profitable both yesterday and today, I'm...
Attached is the 5-minute chart. I'm off to study more charts! P.S. As I look at the chart while uploading it, I realize I need to examine...

Forgot to post my P&L! Good to be in the green today.
Okay so I've had the whole weekend to study charts and I've decided exclusively to stick with AMZN and SPY. After printing out as many 5min...
<b>(-1.00)</b> Entered another trade as CAT bounced off of a resistance point at 102.25, just above yesterday's close. I shorted at 101.83, set...
I've learned a new lesson. I'm a guy who likes action, and that translated into using a tick chart. I've heard others say it before but there...
TheGoonior, Good point. I think I try to compensate for lost money when I set a daily profit target. Rather, if I am out $100 or $150 for the...
I was sim trading profitably for several months using ThinkOrSwim before I began trading live but I'd like to begin sim trading again. Is there...
Also, I'll fill everyone in on the basics of my system. I guess you could call me a momentum-based trader. I'm currently looking at...
Hey ET. Okay so here's why I'm starting this journal. I've read many threads on here, including NoDoji's journal and Anekdoten's journal. I've...
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has responded so far! Assuming I end up choosing a firm at some point soon, and I ask these...
