Actually, I traded half my position with a 20pt stop on the first trade and a 10 pt stop on the second trade. I felt extremely comfortable.

 

I think I am more concentrated now on 1-3 trades a day with at least 20-30pt swings.

 

How are things for you Tin? I havent had a chance to get up to date with you.

Excellent :) Great to hear. I've been doing OK...was doing amazingly well for a little while, then went into a slump the past couple weeks, but am getting out of that today. It happens....but things are lots better now.

Looks like that 13400 was a great area to be shorting prior to the afternoon. I called it a day after the first 90 minutes today.

 

Hey Tin, keep it up. I know you will reach where you want to be. Hard work and perseverance. :)

 

Im actually considering consulting a trading psychologist to improve my trading. Most of my losses are always because of my lack of mental discpline. There are a few things I have yet to understand about my own psychological makeup and looking to understand them better to improve my trading.

Hey Tin and Soul,

 

Since my sabbatical (losing my trading account) I have been writing for my website on trading, or should I say providing useful borrowed trading wisdoms that I have deemed useful for traders. Over the years I have highlighted or saved these writings of successful traders and I share them second hand.

 

As I have researched these writings it has really convinced me how difficult this game is and how the brain needs to be wired differently to overcome our personal biases and beliefs, i.e. our conditioned responses that have nothing to do with Free Will, but plain old emotional habits overriding any new found knowledge.

 

I am now trying to understand the inner world now with greater urgency and with better programming, I want to progress toward that idealized Master trader, that acts like a fighter pilot that Observes, Orients, Decides, and Acts (OODA), without the interferences of our own "Crap on Tap". Ya I can learn the setups and methods but I need to learn the reason why I make a decision or have thoughts that deny any manifestations of true self expression that makes lots of green.

Yes, because I'm not aware of it. Or...maybe I am and don't know its you!

 

But you've hit it on the head as for what needs to be achieved. It's a constant battle for me, and hopefully one I'm on the verge of overcoming...at least a little ;)

    • Date: 25th November 2024. New Secretary Cheers Markets; Trump Trade Eased. Asia & European Sessions:   Equities and Treasuries rise, as markets view Donald Trump’s choice of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary as a stabilizing decision for the US economy and markets. Bessent: Head of macro hedge fund Key Square Group, supports Trump’s tax and tariff policies but gradually. He is expected to focus on economic and market stability rather than political gains. His nomination alleviates concerns over protectionist policies that could escalate inflation, trade tensions, and market volatility. Asian stocks rose, driven by gains in Japan, South Korea, and Australia. Chinese equities fail to follow regional trends, presenting investors’ continued disappointment by the lack of strong fiscal measures to boost the economy. The PBOC keeps policy loan rates unchanged after the September cut. US futures also see slight increases. 10-year Treasury yields fall by 5 basis points to 4.35%. Nvidia dropped 3.2%, affected by its high valuation and influence on broader market trends. Intuit fell 5.7% after a disappointing earnings forecast. Meta Platforms declined 0.7% following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow a class action lawsuit over the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Key events this week: Japan’s CPI, as the BOJ signals a possible policy change at December’s meeting. RBNZ expected to cut its key rate on Wednesday. CPI & GDP from Europe will be released. Traders will focus on the Fed’s November meeting minutes, along with consumer confidence and personal consumption expenditure data, to assess potential rate cuts next year. Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar declines as US Treasuries climb. Bitcoin recovers from a weekend drop, hovering around 98,000, having more than doubled in value this year. Analysts suggest consolidation around the 100,000 level before any potential breakthrough. EURUSD recovers slightly to 1.0463 from 1.0320 lows. Oil prices drop after the largest weekly increase in nearly two months, with ongoing geopolitical risks in Ukraine and the Middle East. UKOIL fell below $75 a barrel, while USOILis at $70.35. Iran announced plans to boost its nuclear fuel-making capacity after being censured by the UN, increasing the potential for sanctions under Trump’s administration. Israel’s ambassador to the US indicated a potential cease-fire deal with Hezbollah, which could ease concerns about Middle Eastern oil production, a region supplying about a third of the world’s oil. Russia’s war in Ukraine escalated with longer-range missile use, raising concerns about potential disruptions to crude flows. Citigroup and JPMorgan predict that OPEC may delay a planned increase in production for the third time during their meeting this weekend. Gold falls to $2667.45 after its largest rise in 20 months last week.Swaps traders see a less-than-even chance the central bank will cut rates next month. Higher borrowing costs tend to weigh on gold, as it doesn’t pay interest. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
