Still not hitting daily target for a supposedly good week (for me), but I'm not going to be too bothered. Targets are meant to be unattainable anyway. Ha.Will continue to skip the ES. Tomorrow's likely to be a crazy day.
Not trading the 6E next week. Going back to ES, and will need all the sleep I can get before the US market opens.
I did something horrible today. I gave D trade signals. He took them - well half of them to be precise. He took the entry signals but not the exit, and overstayed. Because of the first loss (I'm going to have to stop thinking aloud, coz when I do, D takes it that my ideas are actionable and actually trades them!), I felt I needed to help him recover his loss, and he felt he needed MORE ticks to make up for his loss. Bad. He had refused to take 1-point profit when I asked him to get out, and ended up scratching. That's it. No more telling him when to get in. He does so much better when left on his own.
I'm done for the day. Will see what unfolds in the 6E tomorrow. If I have to stay on the sideline, I will.

Me and Jane used to have that same problem, shake each other out of our positions lol.
You're doing great, btw. Very patient and deliberate trades (I gather from your recent chart annotations). Good stuff.
D has made you his sifu. Make him kneel and learn more. LOL.
:-) Yes, MVW, Jane told me about your "trading together" episodes a long time ago. How has she been? Haven't heard from her for months now.
Thanks for the encouragement :-) It's hard for me to patient. But I'm learning...
LordAlfa,
I'll never be with a man that kneels before me!!
LOL! Not a marriage, as a sifu. LOL! You can do him all punishment like a sifu does. I know you like to do it. Come on make him the subject of your teaching torture. LOL.
Hi Jules,
I read the comment you wrote on EP's blog. I must say that I wasn't at all aware of any rant to begin with! LoL. But either way, you really didn't have to apologize as I don't usually take things personally because everyone has a right to an opinion. However, I do really want to thank you for all kind things you said.
My intent for writing the comment to Michael was indeed a genuine desire to help. I remembered myself in his shoes at one point and I couldn't just sit there and not offer advice that I thought would benefit him. The only thing is that I can't express anything without utmost sincerity- even if at times that gets interpreted as arrogance by those who don't know me.
But now that you've mentioned the "rant", I'm very interested to know what you wrote about me!! LOL. If you still have the deleted post, I'd love it if you'd shoot it over to me (zdmasri@yahoo.com) just for kicks. Don't worry I won't take any offence. I might even agree with some things you said :)
Ziad
