Appreciate the question Danny. This is what I am thinking right now, my main goal is to qualify within 1 month so I don't have to pay $375 for a 2nd or 3rd month. With that being said, I have to...

3.2.17 Tr. 1 on YM

I entered into a 2nd 2L in congestion with 4 contracts on the YM expecting price to reach a HH. My initial stop was -10 ticks. When price went +9 and literally halted in its tracks, I moved my stop...

3.1.17 Tr. 1 Update 1

Stopped out at -5 ticks. No regrets at all. It was a technically correct 2L setup after channel break and off of the major trend line. Losses happen.

3.1.17 Tr. 1 on YM

I missed the 1S at the open which would have been good for +10 and I entered long after the 2L triggered so my stop is 5 ticks and my target is +10 with 2 contracts. We will see! I am taking a look...

A lunch trade

I finally got a chance to trade this morning. It was an aggressive trade on CL looking for +10. However, when price went further down than I expected, I got nervous and exited the trade for +1 only...

Final Update

It would have been a nail biter but the YM trade worked out for +30 ticks and I am sure glad that I didn't enter the CL trade as price finally broke down. I'm done for the day. Hope everyone had a...

I thought you might want to see this

Here is how I would have managed the missed trade on the YM. The red squares represent my trailing stop. Currently, the stop is at +16 and price had gone +29 ticks, I tick away from the target.

Thank you for the question. I would be lying if I said, "I never take those trades." I do many times but I get burned often on them.

2.27.17 Tr. 3

I took this riskier 2L on CL with a 1:1 if the trade works. I will try and reenter going for 15 ticks. Price must get past 54.21 to have a chance. As of right now, it is stalled there.

I went to eat lunch and missed this trade on the YM. The 2L triggered when bar 140 went 1 tick above bar 139. The stop should be placed 1 tick below bar 139. Trade is expected to go 30 ticks. The...

Tr. 1 Update 3

New high achieved, price so far as advanced +11 ticks. Stop has been moved to +1 tick and we will see from here what happens. Part of me is thinking I should have taken profit at +10 just to start...

Tr. 1 Update 1

Price must get through the 54.34 level for the trade to even have a fighting chance to work out. I am little nervous because on these setups price usually likes to move right away, it usually is not...

2.24.17 Tr. 1 on 6E

I got caught. Tried to be cute and anticipate a 2S signal. Even though it was a weak bearish bar I figured it would trigger and be good for +10, however, the 2S never triggered and we got new highs...

2.24.17 Missed Opportunity 1

I took so long on catching up on reading everyone's journals (well worth it though) that I missed this perfect setup on 6E. It was a 2L.
