I don't feel quite like this, but today was a wake-up call. LOL. [ATTACH]
The 50 sma is my favorite indicator. If "flat" then ranging. ADX is awesome too for range detection, but I don't use it.

These are my mostly long trades just after the open yesterday. I try not to trade during the first 5 min while the market establishes a...
I like the optimistic operative word here -- "when . . ." ;) I will do my best to get there.
The major moves are back! I got some shorts and then some longs. Fortunately I did not stay long as this market tanked again from 2508 down to...
Today had the smallest range (it appears) in about 4 weeks. I welcome it. AMP reduced their commission a bit too. I only ended up with about...

Thanks. And I guess this is the main benefit of the journal-- It keeps this 2% goal in front of my face.
Here is the new total after a $120 day. [ATTACH] I am now trading the MES exclusively, and the dollars per tick is $1.25, which is much higher...
Today, I finished up about $100 and am just shy of $6,000. I started on Jan 17 with $2,000. I am now 2 months and 10 calendar days into this...
Thanks for the post. Your $432 micro trade was awesome. Keep it up. Once I read that the market is in a range 70% of the time, and once I got...
