I just had an amazing day. I took a measly $25k account at Take Profit Trader from zero to almost $3k in a single day trading just 3 micros at a time. I mean, each time a reversal happened it respected the trend line – again and again and again. It was intoxicating to add […]
Greed will get you! Read More »
I have been thinking about my trading. Trying to understand why I stay in trades when I think or fear the trade is going to go against me. I know I’m not alone. I’m in a trade. It is progressing nicely, but there’s a nagging feeling in the back of my head that the bottoms

After reviewing my losses over the last couple of weeks, I’ve realized my worst days are bear days. That is, I suck at trading when the market drops! I guess I’m an optimist at heart – but that is not good when trading! So… I’ve decided to create an account that ONLY trades in the
Once again, I got greedy and blew my last performance account (PA). I took a few days off and decided to try again since APEX was still offering one day eval passes. Also, it would be a shame to have paid my dues to this point and then just quit just as I’m at the
