I have been trading for a couple of years and still can not figure out what is the best day trading plan. I like 1 minute trading, but that seems to whip saw me to death, plus a MACD standard settings, and 2 SMA(20,50), and 1 EMA (10). One day I'm flying high next day is what the heck happend. Does everyone have this problem. I also journal my trades.

Based on your post, I strongly recommend you take a few hours and read this thread front to back:



It should be an eye-opening experience. By the end it should be obvious what mistakes rookies make most, and therefore you should be more likely to avoid them.
