I do spend my day in a chat room (no live trade calling)that trades the same thing I do but with a slightly different plan. There are some very skilled people in there. But when I realized that trades they took were irrelevant to me it was sort of any eye-opener. There are no geniuses, there is nobody who gets all the "right" trades. Every tick represents somebody trading a different plan. As a relatively new trader (2 years with a written plan) I'm learning that the best way is actually my way.

I tend to trade the opening sequence with good results, and more often than not, I can pick up the flow of the closing sequence.<BR/><BR/>I am working on stepping away from the screen during those mid-day hours. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes not. One thing I have taken from your trading is trying to scale back size during the middle of the day. That has improved my PNL without a doubt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your comments and good luck tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>SeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-77092105257020616092008-11-20T20:28:00.000-05:002008-11-20T20:28:00.000-05:00Great video today, and thanks for sharing some of ...Great video today, and thanks for sharing some of your trade diary.
