Sorry to disappoint, but I think that is beyond the scope of this journal. I don't want to sound arrogant, but I'm not sure that tape reading can...
I can't justify trading today (it's a combination of several factors). Anyway, for some reason I've been thinking about how much I've enjoyed...
I messed up today and was lucky to have made the $4 that I did. I started trading at 2:15 EST. First of all, I wasn't seeing any definitive...
I don't like how this statement came across. Basically what I meant is that trading based on default profit targets, stop losses, and risk/reward...
Trade 2 was an abberration; I deserved a lot worse than I got. I wouldn't say that I read the tape "wrong". I believe that I never read the tape...
Funny. When I went to log-in today I was accidently typing the wrong password and for a brief moment I thought that I had been victimized....
I'm disappointed with myself today. I had zero confidence and it definitely showed. Anyway, I talked with some people at IB and the necessary...
I never really thought about that. I trust and respect other traders (for the most part anyway), but it never occurred to me that a non-trader...
I didn't start trading until 2:30 EST because I figured that the morning would be uneventful and I wanted to give the market at least 15 minutes...
I had a series of dreams last night where I was trading. No matter what I did, buy or sell, the market always went against me. When I woke up...
Very true. I sometimes refer to it as second guessing myself, but I prefer the way you have worded it. I definitely do make the majority of my...

I had a feeling that today would be a range day, so I took most of the day off (I needed the rest). I had a theory about this afternoon though,...
I think the fact that I was receiving mixed signals prior to Trade 3 contributed to me being overly paranoid on Trade 3. Unlike yesterday, I did...
I didn't start trading until 1:30 EST today. I wanted to make sure that I had overcome step 2 before I did any trading because based on how I was...
I think that there may be some truth to this. However, when I try trading any smaller than this, my performance goes out the window because I...
When I wrote this I hadn't looked at the market since I closed my position at 1232.5. I find it amazing that my subconscious was already...
I'm feeling a lot better right now. One thing that I like to do after a particularly bad day is to drive through a really poor neighborhood. As...
Being right and not capitalizing on it is one of the most painful feelings that I have ever felt. I cannot believe how sharply my mood changed in...
It occurred to me this morning that I am making things a lot harder than they have to be. Anyway, after what had happened yesterday afternoon, I...
