Never thought we'd be discussing my anatomy here, but THANKS! Courage comes from 2 cups experience, 1 cup optimistic expectations, and just a...
Thanks, but it is not too hard when 40 ticks fly by in 10 seconds, LOL. But I asking myself more "does this have more room to run?" and not...
Am I an emotionless trader? Hardly. Look at the two losses above at 6:30 and 6:31 mountain time. The second I closed them for a loss, the...
Monday report: I took over 20 single contract trades today but the market did provide, so I received. Because of the volatility, I let my max...
I am really tired of trading this craziness. The fed stimulus is just failing, failing, failing. And I am stuck in my house. It seems like 50%...
I can't seem to get any traction today. Chopfest. I guess it's better than straight down. 10 shorts and 2 longs in this consolidation zone....
Thank you so much for your kindness. There is a LOT of compensation for the past that needs to happen here. And like you suggested, it is about...
Thanks. I have been trying to get to this point for a VERY long time, since the fall of 2005. 13 1/2 years now. I don't wish the same...
@SimpleMeLike , @Laissez Faire If any market deserved an attempt at some good runners, this is it! I will try it.

Good for them. Someone has to put out the speed bumps! We crazy traders certainly won't do it.
Yes, sometimes the stops seem huge. Right now 60 ticks is unthinkable. And risking 60 to make 10 is nuts. Or is it? I don't really risk 60 all...
@Laissez Faire Right now my stop is "get out immediately if the market is going against me" but if that fails then I just pull it at about 60...
Based on an estimated $170 today, here is the chart update. I am averaging about 2.3% per day. Despite the votes to the contrary, until this...
The market is still nuts, but that doesn't mean I can lose my head. It means that I need to be even more selective with my trades. I was up...
Still working on the MAE and MFE with Multicharts. I like those numbers a lot. More important is the AAE and AFE. (Average adverse excursion...
Turns out the last earthquake here was 80 years ago. But they still said we are 200 years overdue for a "big one." I crossed the $5,000 mark...
Three more shorts around the time of the lock-limit down. Ouch on the last one. I was right on the direction, but must honor the stops! We are...
6 good short scalps up against the resistance zone at 20,000 MYM [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I am about to cross the $5k mark, and things are getting...
