@JMP3 Nice trading!!

Dec 11

Bleh...worst market condition for me is the slow melt-up or slow melt-down, with constant back-filling. I can do ok in a volatile trend, or in a straight consolidation. But those angled consolidations kill me. Anyway, I was targeting Last week's -vwap the whole night @1.1815. Just couldn't do it.





I finally did it with the big contract, even though it doesn't count for the competition.

No trades for me today. Was not in a good frame of mind with a lot of family interruptions and data feed issues. Hope to be back in the game tomorrow.

Decent day, only three trades and one of them was unintentional LOL.

@jackbravo yeah, I hate days like today too... so much time spent churning around with very few real moves to speak of; I had a difficult time getting a read on anything until after the fact.

Two impatient entries this morning. First one was very impatient. Second one is moderately impatient, but might still work out. Looking for a return to the scene of the crime.



On a bright note, I sent a very confused and irritated email to NT8 about their response saying the historical 6E data would be forever missing... turns out they forgot to tell me a key piece of info.

Quoting 

My apologies for the confusion. I left out an important part of the last response. There will be a weekend maintenance event on the historical data servers this weekend that should resolve the missing data issue.

So all should be resolved eventually, just have to keep staring at this imaginary gap for one more week. And not use any trend lines across that period, because the time dimension on my charts is totally out of whack.

Nice to see you get in in that run down... it certainly had some momentum. Looks like it's running out of steam. I was in there, but damn, one contract at a time is tough. I maybe need to lift that rule.

Oh I got in, alright! Just in the wrong direction!

LOL whoops! Sorry, I misread your chart, thought you were short! So used to looking at Sierra...

I'm flat, waiting to see what's gonna happen at 39 right now... tried to get short at 49 but didn't get filled on a limit order. Thinking maybe a long at 32.

Edit: failed test at 39, double bottom on M5... hmmmm... lots of indecision here.

Hello fellow traders, I'm up .50 cents from my last post. I think I'll buy 1/16 cup of coffee with my winnings, enough for 1 or 2 sips .

2 trades, not worth posting, one pretty much canceled the other .... JP

Dec 12: Just can't seem to get it done. Looking for shorts. In too early or jumping out when I'm actually in them.





I may be out of the competition at this point. Not sure if I"m going to trade rest of the week, given CB speeches and rate hike stuff.

Nice trading @JMP3

A decent day, summary is in the screenie. Trying to focus on consistency and cutting the losers short so that I can retain as much as I can. Missed a few opportunities later in the day because we were out running around, but I'll take what I can get.

@jackbravo, sorry you're having such a rough time, but you can turn things around. Take some time, figure out why you're in a funk, get your head screwed on straight and come back at it man.
