Nothing wrong with trying to push a bit harder just keep it controlled. Looking at those results Salty would have said it was not a total bummer of a day.

Slight up day, did not find any real good patterns that setup. 1 Breakeven 1 +14c Gave up after 17.00GMT

I would go with what Salty says about starting small and learning. I only traded shares in lots of 50 to start as IB is so cheap. For a long time 200+ shares was a big no no and this kept me in the game as I have learned and continue to do so. Due to risk tolerance I rarely trade above 600 in...

nah missed that one dude, I only come across and play with you Nasdaq boys when i can't find anything on the big board. ;-) Nice trade though Mr C.

Yes it has and ADBE was good at the open as well.

Hi rog111 He is based in Durban same as you. I know he is moving back to the UK next year partly for the same reasons you have said about with the problems of trading from SA, Power failures, slow connections etc. Check your PM.

Hi Jimmy / Rog111, Im Based in Polegate, East Sussex. I Day Trade NYSE stocks with the odd Nasdaq one here and there. Rog111 I think I know the two Guys you meet up with and I have a trading Friend who I trade most days with based in SA. What a small world. If you guys get together again...

I trade 1 core setup but have 2 other secondary setups to trade as and when I find them. I do know of many other other setups however like Salty said in his post when I start trying to trade every setup I end up missing most of them. I scan the whole US market every 2 mins looking for stocks...

Hi Paul, And I agree with you on that. Mine just goes deeper to suit my needs to help combat my mind set problems which others might not have. A trading plan is a personal thing and thus if you put all of ours together and compard them they would all be different but the key is they work for...

Thats the general idea PK. If you want to earn a living from trading then the plan has to contain everything so you can become self employed. Anything less and its a hobby and most hobbies cost money, not pay you money. ( Thats only the way I see it ) :lol:

As I have said that YOUR mind set is the most important thing in trading imho I have posted a copy of the saying that is in my trading plan and posted on one of my monitors on my trading PC. 4) I AM A SNIPER. I WAIT IN THE SHADOWS LOOKING FOR THE PATTERNS AND SET-UPS AS PER MY TRADING PLAN. I...

1. I Trade U.S. equities, but only the 7-9pm GMT session as I have a day job. 2. I wish to day trade as the risk of exposure to events / gaps etc. overnight is too great. 3. Ideally, I would make 1-2 trades per evening session, with the aim of capturing the the bulk of the late move of the day...

Hi Salty, I used to use briefing to find stocks to trade and when I used this method it was a good package to have. Now I run Intraday scans to find stocks that are on the move or ones that fit my trade setup. I found it better to have a good scanner and I use Real Time and Yahoo just to find...

Hi Nicsta, You are welcome. Glad it maybe of some help. Gave up briefing when they started charging the earth.

:p Nothing wrong with that, LOL.
