Since my roulette epiphany I've developed an interest in the study of professional gambling, especially the study of successful professional gamblers. As a result, I purchased a number of books on the subject, but I've not done much reading. Now ...

No sooner did I post that message this morning and my phone rang, and I was told my father had fallen and took a real crack to his head and he was on hiway to the hospital in an ambulance. He's about an hour from me, so I packed my laptop and a bag ...

I'll not be trading this morning until the ADP data is released and at least the initial reaction subsides. I may wait until the NYSE open to trade. I do have my charts open, but I am not at all focused on trading and I do not have my trading ...

This week's daily profit factors: Monday: image Tuesday: image Profit Factor = total profits/total losses. As a rule, I want my profit factor over the long haul to be 2.00 or higher (the higher the better).

Finishing up for the day here and now. I had an important breakthrough today in that I recognized the trading range in the globex/pre-market. In the past, I'd take my signals even though my method is a type of "breakout" method. Well, when in a ...

To be honest, I am not ready to share the M15 method I am using for three reasons. 1) I don't want people asking me why a particular signal "didn't work." 2) I don't want people asking me for the EA or the MT4 template or telling me how it would be ...

Absolutley blue! Mark Douglas tells a story about a floor trader with whom he worked who start trading, be up something ridiculous like $750K within an hour or two, and then he'd give it all back and sometimes more trading the rest of the day. Some ...

I had this conversation this weekend with three of my trading friends. I am now committed to focusing 110% on the market when trading. If there is anything taking even 1% of my attention away from the market, I cancel orders, flatten open positions, ...

I am done for the day. In my Topstep accounts I finish with a total profit across all 5 accounts of +$8,658.26, which is an average of $1731.61 per account, or +6.92R. A stunningly good day for me. I used both my M15 method, and also a variant of ...

This is my main chart, and if I had to pick just one template to use for the rest of my trading career, it would be this one. It is an M15 ohlc bar chart of the NQ. I labelled the various levels that the template marks for me. 8:00 AM NYC time is ...

My average profit for the week across the five accounts is $2087.12 That is an average profit of +8.35R for the week, with R= $250. I am not yet ready to increase my R=x, which I will do by adding another contract to my trade size. My total profit ...

Well, I did finish with +1R across the five accounts but in all honesty, it wasn't pretty. The premarket trading I did started me off on the wrong footing to be sure. When I saw the slippage I was getting, I let it get into my head and from there I ...

The casino may have been open but there was very low volume. Even this morning the NQ spread on the futures is as high as 5 ticks, and I had two orders filled 2 points away from their posted levels. This has made me very cautious as a result moved ...

THOUGHTS: For the longest time I beat my head against the trading wall insisting that to consider myself to be (have become?) a "real" trader I had to earn most if not all of my profits from the ES (SP500) futures. Since my roulette epiphany, I've ...
