Bud - I'm having trouble squaring the exit on trade 2's time of 1:56 with a price of 37.39. I'd like to make sure I'm looking at the right part of the chart. Re trades 1 and 3, the big bad bear inside you made you short in an uptrend. Look at a one minute chart with a 15sma and a 75sma. You'll see the trend was up in both timeframes. Totally by accident, I am sure, I netted 20 cents per share in four long trades. - Mike

Gross profit $160 - commissions $95 net profit $65 Without doubt i am trading too often i am afraid that i will miss a move and this is killing me. i have to start putting my entries at least 7-10 cents away from the market This was a day of geting out too soon FEAR and letting my losses run at least once March 6 2002 400L 36.695 10:12 c 36.82 10:20 +$50 went 5cents below me and almost stopped out why can you not put a limit order below the market? Follow the exit rules, stop using FEAR and getting out much too soon. Follow the plan, keep the stops close and do not tamper with them, let the profits run 500S 36.21 11:06 c 36.08 11:09 +$65 500S 36.15 11:33 c 36.23 11:36 -$40 a terrible trade. the 1ma line look strong why do you always fall into shorting strength 500s 36.48 1:18 c 36.35 1:27 +$85 Once more i leave most of the profit on the table. i must have a good exit program and follow it 500S 37.48 2:55 c 37.60 3:01 -$60 700s 37.57 3:11 c 37.69 3:14 -$84 When will i learn to not sell into strength? 600S 37.87 3:29 c 37.63 3:53 +144
