Bernard, Congrads, you seem to have made a definite upturn in your trading. Curious what you attribute it to: - Bear Market and tendancy to go short - Change of trading system rules - Change of trader consistently trading those rules Mario

July 25-26 loss $897 cumulative profit $747 trading badly,things changed and my mind set would not I was also out there with no stops, a sure sure formula for blowing up in the futures market and any other markets. I must always control my risks The reason people lose trading is that they take quick profits and sit on long losses I am always trending that way and must fight every day to first of all control the risk and to stay as long as possible with the winners

I will start today posting all my trades on this thread, and on a real time basis. I trade only the nq and es All trades will be closed out by day's end. I will take nothing home with me. The best new rule that i have, is that the first losing trade that i have Will be the last trade of the day. I must shut down all stock screens and quit for the day. This rule will help me in several ways 1. is that i typically start out weak 2. is that i will be closed out probably fairly early in the day, and will have much more time for other projects This rule is very important, it will improve my trading life immensely. It must never never be broken in the slightest way My max. stop on every trade is $100 per contract My primary objective is to move into a trade going my way and get to a breakeven stop as soon as possible, in this way, i can continue to trade during the day even if my stop is hit This rule will encourage me to stay with a good trade, because i know that if i exit and re-enter with a losing trade, i am done for the day "lay on Macduff, and damned be he that cries first, Enough!"
