25th July 2005 I''ve received some emails etc asking if I am still around and still trading. The answer i yes and yes so I thought I'd start posting my trades again. Now I just need to work out how to upload the charts!! Mmmm.... doesn't look like I can upload an image which rather scuppers...

CM - best wishes for the time being and hope to see you up and running on the boards soon. I received a message yesterday from a poster asking what I was up to. The answer is still trading and doing OK (touch wood). I haven't been posting my trades because I have been following a slightly...

Trades marked on chart (ts refers to alternative hypothetical exit using recent swing high/low): b/e from 4 (+17 using trailing stops - it wins again!) -4 for the day after commission +190 for February so far after commissions (11 days of trading) After today I'm away for a few days to the...

Trades marked on chart (ts refers to alternative hypothetical exit using recent swing high/low): +56 from 6 (+65 using trailing stops) +50 for the day after commission +194 for February so far agter commissions (10 days of trading)

Unable to intraday this week as away for half term but what a range on Monday - I have never seen one like that. Good luck to all for the rest of the week.

9:59 1) S 10728. It is moving down but force lacking. Stops quickly to b/e. Sharp pullback. And down again. But could be reversing at 710 level. Yep - back it comes. 10:28 EXIT: B/e. Here we go again. [Alternative hypothetical exits: Trailing stop = +10. Target at +6 hit, +12 hit, (average +6...

Excellent insights Wellshot. I increasingly agree about indicators and no longer trade from them. I still keep averages as a quick visual on trend strength but increasingly view price bars for all decisions. The breakthrough for me was looking at so many indicators until I realised they all...

Missed the break to the upside right off the pivot. 10:17 1) L 10714. New HOD and stops to b/e. Then pulls back. 10:21 EXIT: B/e [Alternative hypothetical exits: Trailing stop = B/e. Target at +6 hit, +12 not (average +2 from 3).] 10:55 2) S 10697. Nope. Going no where. 10:56 EXIT: -5. I was...

Apologies - I missed your earlier message. Not sure it was a bad day - just bad trading! The emas are 7 (blue) and 34 (brown) but I would also recommend the 100.

I made a hopeless dog's dinner of today... 9:54 1) S 10724. Still not through yesterday's congestion so risky but tight stop. Cannot break below 720 level. 9:58 EXIT: -4. [Alternative hypothetical exits: all -4] 10:05 2) L 10735. No follow through this side either. 10:09 EXIT: -5. [Alternative...

9:41 1) S 10696. Cannot break 92. Twice. Three times. Four times. So not looking good. 9:48 EXIT: -6. Quad bottom killed it. [Hypothetical exits: trailing stop -2/ targets not hit so average -6] 9:57 2) L 10708. Try the other way. Stop to b/e at +6. Seems to be stalling at 720 level - just...

Something definitely strange with my after hours charts yesterday too using Sierra/MyTrack.

9:55 1) L 10705. Not much of a trend so far though so a bit hit and hope. Not much follow through. Stop to b/e at +6. Needs to take out Friday's HOD at 720 to go anywhere here. 10:13 EXIT: B/e. [Alternative hypothetical exits: Trailing stop = B/e. Target at +6 hit, +12 not hit (average +2 from...

Good insight Wellshot and much appreciated. One thought I have though is that when trying to master something new, what feels right initially isn't necessarily what is best in the long run. Taking a profit quickly does feel right and easy. Holding for a bigger win is hard. But perhaps that is...
