Thanks for the advice. I also found that I did better if I woke up later and had more time to analyze what was going on before placing a trade.

I would rather not swing for the fences, but with...

Thanks, you're right. I realize I am overtrading when it's happening, but it's hard to stop myself from pushing that button. I agree that having a plan is key, and I need to remind myself of this...

Not what I was envisioning for my performance today. We are not allowed to be in or enter a position one minute before or after the number comes out. Exactly one minute after and I went...

Today was another day where I was kind of fighting with the market. I'm not sure what happened at 8:48am, but there was a sharp drop and the YM traded down past the bottom of value from the...

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that. I agree that last push was pretty surprising. Do you plan on trading NFP tomorrow?

It's so much easier trading with the trend! I wasn't perfect today as I made one really bad entry which I let go against me too far, but other than that I am satisfied with how the day...

Thank you, metalhe4der. That was a great post. You're right, I was chasing a bit after the first big loss, trying to make it back. FTP is affecting me, I can feel the additional pressure I'm putting...

I was stubborn today and kept going long in a downtrend. It's not that I couldn't recognize the trend was down, it was that I thought I could pick where it would reverse. I was able to get...

I'm just barely positive overall in FTP, which feels good. But I know I still have work to do.

I felt like today would be a range day and light volume day, before the holiday weekend. We...

+$5.

I had trouble sleeping last night and didn't get to my computer until 9:30 CST. Very low volume today so I was looking to trade the ranges.

My first trade was a long, which I fat...

Today I had a long bias and wanted to take a trade WITH trend, and was able to do that. Bad thing was I exited way too early and accidentally got short. I then compounded this mistake by...

The only positive today was that I stopped before I hit my loss limit. I was totally out of sync, but recognized it early and stopped for the day before I did too much damage.

I was...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Unfortunately, the first day of FTP was a losing day. I didn't break my loss limit though, so I'm still in the game and tomorrow is another day!

Honestly, the way I started out, I was really doubted whether or not I'd be able to pass this one. But I slowly climbed out of that hole, day by day, and finally hit my...

I thought I had posted the 18th, but I guess not. +$574 for the day. I started out +$390 for the morning, and wiped most of that out with a couple of trades after the FOMC came out. Eventually was...

Even though I ended up positive $153 on the day, I can't help being a bit disappointed at my trading.

I failed my goal for the day which was not to take a counter-trend trade, especially in the...
