A word or two about mental stops….
I often hear from clients and prospects that they use “mental stops”…
Take a look at the mini NASDAQ intraday chart from today below and notice the type of move and speed of move that took place…..good luck placing that mental stop $3900 later or more per contract….
If your strategy calls for using stops ( I personally like to have a STOP on any of the short term trades), I highly recommend placing the stops in the system….While I myself have sinned before as well, thinking that “they” can see my stops and are going after my stops…..lets not flatter ourselves too much….UNLESS you are trading some VERY large size, no one is going after the 1 lot, 5 lot, 10 lot or even 50 lots in markets like the mini SP and US bonds ( ZB)….
Getting stopped out is part of the game and for me it is part of trading, if you are not using stops, it is just a question of when “mini black swan even will take place and wipe out your account.
Sorry if I sound a bit harsh above but take it as “tough love”….

What is the one thing that you can do to improve your trading and costs you NOTHING?
KEEP A DAILY TRADING JOURNAL.
Really you might say? yes, really I will answer. Most prop firms that fund traders, requires their traders and trainees to keep a daily journal. It goes over each trade, the emotions, what news came out and many other tidbits that go into trading.
Trading is far from easy and keeping a journal takes extra time and work, especially after a bad trading day but there are numerous benefits to keeping a trading journal.
Try it for a few weeks and make it a habit.k it can help MOST traders out there.
___________________________________________________
Recent volatility, especially in the NQ futures is something else….makes a great case for the MICRO NQ or the MNQ being 1/10th of the size.
High to low today in the NQ was about $3000 per contract….its a bit more manageable when the MNQ is $300 per contract difference between high to low….
Position size is a BIG element of trading and the MICROS do help with that quite a bit especially for the ES and NQ ( MES and MNQ)

– How to identify it’s working out
– How to identify if it’s not working out
– Typical Risk:Reward

What you will see is that although the setups are different, there’s lots of things in common with them. Instead of learning 7 different skills, we are taking a few skills and applying them in different scenarios.
With these 7 setups, you would certainly expect to find multiple trades per day on most market, but patience is still key because we want to get in when conditions are just right.
For those looking for new setups or those looking to improve the way they confirm/manage their existing setups – this webinar is for you.
