Thank you

I was very nervious on my first day going live.
I controlled my emotions by reassuring myself that my method works
and in the long run I'll end up with a profit.Also knowing I have a mental stop in place
asured me that I'll always live to fight another day.
I'm basically a scalper so my results were basically what I expected.
I would not have done anything differently so far... but it's very early in the peice.

Good to hear.

I notice you mentioned the use of mental stops - did you execute these without fail every day the stop was hit? The true test will come when you have a big down day (or several in a row), but for now day 1 seems to be a success and onto number 2.

Keep at it.

Yes I always do stop myself out otherwise my account will eventually get
wiped out.

Trader Girl, Do you have an emergency hard stop? Think of it as a safety parachute.

I think this site could do with a journal forum for documenting trades.

A lot of my trading is done on feel so as soon as I feel the trade is wrong
then I exit.I will not let the trade go more than 10 against me.

Thank you for the kind words.

how can you be trading 10? dont you need at least 100k to cover risk of ruin?

I exit my stops manually but a hard stop left on the exchanges books is cheap insurance.
