Thread: NoDoji's Day Trading Log

-$395 No trades yesterday. This morning I played with CL in sim from pre-market through the open, really getting into a rhythm with it. As a result though I missed some good live trades in the early part of the day, then had things to do. Returned later wanting to make up for what I missed and thought I?d scalp small moves with larger positions, during that time of day I should know better than to trade. I can?t even describe what I did...

Ok, lesson learned, sounds like a deal. I am missing something................HOW can anyone get a rhythm from the DOM? I missed that class. In todays electronic mkts orders can be dropped in a flash, cancelled/replaced. I would not even consider trading from the DOM. PS: did not trade today, probably not tomorrow either. Next week, maybe trade reports and get refreshed for the new year. Nod, imagine next year you make as much progress as you...

actually I QG at 2.85 too with 3 contracts!

Nice easy day for me. I had alarm wake me up. Saw a profitable setup. Set my targets and stops, went back to sleep. Had a dream that I made money on the trade. Woke up, saw I actually did make money on trade, then went back to sleep. Looking back, saw about 4 possible profitable setups, of which I took 1.

Heh, I was checking ANF as it inched closer to LOD@41.52, but had to go to the bathroom...sohuld have set the order. Or take the laptop with me. Sound familiar? ;) You're back on track, dear. Real happy to see that! Keep'em comin'!

Quote from NoDoji: ...I brought up the L2 for Nov $110?s and it was fantastic, a .01 spread and so incredibly liquid you could move in and out of 100 cars at market if you wanted to... Funny you should meantion that. I had an bid in for 10000 SPY put contracts...and I got them all in a single fill. BANG! This sim trading is EXTREMELY AWESOME!!

Thanks for the reply NoD.. it sound like you are entering your limit orders by clicking on the various levels in the Level 2 DOM.. is that correct? I don't use Level 2.. its always just messed with my mind.. flipping around so fast, etc maybe i should try that method.. i dunno.. i wish i could just draw a line on my chart and right click and choose "buy here" hahaha im more of a visual guy? seriosuly, that would be cool.. put...

(oops, I just realized I posted one of the videos twice ... meant for this to be the third one...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiXR9ggRdFI&feature=fvw ... And now back to trading.

Hi NoDoji, I would not "hijack" your thread if I was not also trying to assist you as well so I hope this is of some value. Its the LAW OF INDEPENDENT TRIALS and you very well may know of it(many do not especially in vegas where it might be really needed along with some math skills for so many). For those that do ummm.....oh wait, maybe Mr W beat me to the punch and stole my very brillant reply to your journal......oh well, I guess...
