300 S 33.66 10:15 c 33.78 10:22 -$36
Did not even look at ecn crossover Always do that!! It ran 8 cents against me immediately Always push these trades, if you had done what you planned 33.75 you would be in great condition. always go away from market. The fault in my trading at this point is going against the immediate 1ma line, I must always wait until the 1sto crosses over in my favor Notice how your timing is typically about 5-10 early think about it slow down the trades Always wait for the 1sto to cross you only have a 10cent stop
300 S 33.46 11:37 c 33.37 11:52 +$27
Once again it goes lower than my exit exit with a limit order. The QQQ does not move as fast as you. slow down, 5 minutes entry on 1ma bad surge takes it 12 cents higher, you must wait for more weakness FEAR as you trade better and better you will have to stay with your trades your rule of trading with the 5ma kept you from going long , very good
300 L 33.35 1:31 c 33.20 1:46 -$45
A bad trade the 5ma was simply not strong enough. You have to learn patience. the 5sto was negative, what is wrong with you?
I write out my rules every morning Like i clean every morning I follow my rules completely like i quit smoking completely I posted the intent to trade before trading, on my thread
A. Wait until the 1sto crosses over your way before trading.
1. put in and keep 10 cent stop 2. max. loss is $100 BC per day 3. trade only with 5sto, 5ma, and definite 1ma crossover and bounces off 1ma 4. always trade within 2cents of 1ma 5. post potential trade on thread 6. Go to breakven stop after 10min 7 max. trade 300sh + 100 per $25BC |
