    Do you usualy trade also while on a trip like this one? I am looking at the ES as well but I am trading mostly e-mini Nasdaq NQ (85%) and e-mini Dow Jones YM (15%). ES is littlebit too expensive for my account right now :) Thank you for your kind words. Good luck to you as well :)

    Hello O-G, I am ok, still struggling with my trading. Have you been to France to learn the language? For me, languages are easy. Trading is the most difficult challenge I had in my life so far. Unfortunately, I had to stop updating this thread temporarely because of my other activities. I am...

    Hi O-G, sorry for the late answer. well, there is a lot of room for improvement - both in consistancy of trading and in updating of my blog :( The markets have been very slow latelay which put me littlebit off balance and I was trying very hard to adapt which resulted in some additional...

    April 14, 2015 Another difficult day. Markets kept falling from the beginning and when the consolidation started the volume faded away leaving me with little chance to enter the market properly. And to add to my misery I had also some technical difficulties when I entered the market twice by...

    I trade the market auction. I closely watch it on the tape (orderflow) where I am trying to identify the specific market participants (stupid traders, market makers, hedge funds/banks etc.) and when I do I am trying to figure out what are they trying to achieve and how well they do it. By all of...

    Week 15 results My goal for this week was to regain confidence. I was trying to trade just the best setups with controlled risk. I was trading just 4 days (Tuesday till Friday). Most of the time the markets have been quite slow, specialy on Friday. I had 3 winning days + loss on Wednesday...

    April 10, 2015 Very low volume and almost dead market today. The whole day was again about patience. T1 Even when I was expecting the market to move higher and thus having a long bias, this short came from my preplanned zone after I saw buyers fading out. I picked the local high pretty good...

    ...and that is just 1/4 of 1 of 3 screens I use :D I get that a lot. I know that some guys trade just by watching PA and are successful too. My setup makes a lot of sence to me and it is quite easy after you understand it :)

    April 9, 2015 Today, market was testing my patience... and I succeeded. There have been literally just couple of good opportunities. I missed one of them because I couldn´t react quickly enough and then I didn´t want to chase the market so I let it go. I ended up with a single trade. T1 After...

    tokyojoe: I totally agree. This is my achilles heel. If I make few good trades from the beginning everything is fine. What I need to learn is to close the charts after small loss. If I don´t I always create even bigger one. Chasing profits is for amateurs, pros just control risk and let the...

    March 30, 2015 I am slowly regaining confidence after last week's fiasco. Today, I reached my perfect daily target after 30min of trading. T1 was a mistake. I took the trade too early. After I realized that, I quickly closed the position at BE+1 T2 I picked the highest high 6 ticks from high...

    Thanx F, the whole day was my fault. There is nobody else to blame for it. Well, of course it hurts but I had worse losses in the past so I know I can handle it. The thing which pisses me most is that I let myself lure into the markets after the initial losses even if I know it is not worth it...
