    Hi Natanel, not sure if you can link several accounts as the script for one hotkey has only one account #. You can email Das Support and tell then what you are trying to accomplish and they will advise if this is possible. They have a lot of features in the their hotkeys scripts so this could be possible. Thanks.

    Good morning! Happy Sunday! Time to review Week #1 of 2019! 

    Let's review our journal, what we did well and what needs improvement this coming week. Highlight your top 3 improvement areas and let's focus on them this week. Do not worry about your P&L we have a whole year ahead of us to work on that. Let's start with getting a firm process, habits and foundation to support future growth. 

    Check out Reflection and Review podcast for Trading Journal ideas. See you all in the Pre-market show tomorrow 8:30 Wall Street time!

    “You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”

    Day Trading requires a lot of discipline at your trading desk and off it. Make sure you are puttting in hard work on your daily routine to motivate discipline in your personal life as well. Exercise, Read, Meditate.  

    Happy Friday from the local gym! Looking forward to a great Friday and morning Pre-market show!

    That is great advise, forget the losses and let's focus on the process not the outcome on future trades you take.

    Here is the chart we shared this morning in the Pre-Market show as we discussed the Markets. Very interesting. There is a good read article about bull and bear markets here (https://www.brightscope.com/financial-planning/advice/article/27993/Bull-And-Bear-Markets-A-History/) were I found this chart.

    Wow excellent post! You are gearing yourself up for success! The work you put into outside of actual trading is what pays off when you trade. Could not agree more with Brendon here:

    Nice recovering from a hotkey mistake. Sometimes that can throw you off your game, you kept cool and stuck with the plan.
  13. Carlos M.
    Agree with Jason. Munish keep in mind that after it stalled around $72.60 it ran up to VWAP around $74.20 and a passed it, that's a big move. The play would have been buying around 9:50 for the run up to VWAP, After such a big move you need to expect a pull back. You got caught here cashing and buying the top.
  14. Carlos M.
    Yes I do take it into consideration for a stop loss, but I look at the entire picture of the chart as well. Depending on how the chart looks I can better determine if it is a strong stop loss level.
  15. Carlos M.
    Great point. I have been using CME and I think what got most of the people upset was the lack of communication from CMEG on this issue. If they would have simply sent out a note saying "FYI, we screw up, you been getting a free ride on ECN, is corrected effective this date ECN will be charge" Everyone would have been ok, maybe lol. But seeing this comparison shows that the ECN fees are in line.

    Hey George, This is something we all starting out struggle with, our Losers being bigger than our Winners. Here is my advice and is only based on what I personally experienced. There is no way to really tell you what you can improve on without seeing the details of your trades over a period of time. This is were a mentor or a trading partner you can be a huge help. When I first started I was not getting a good enough entry and was hesitating a lot to get into a move. Sometimes we want firm confirmation that the move is going to happen and we get in too late. Make sure you are trusting your set up and that you are getting in with no hesitation once you spot your signal. Trust your set up and get in as soon as possible. For me setting stop loss by a set amount can sometimes mess with your judgement, I set my stop loss based on a technical level, meaning the low or the high of the previous candle, daily level, LOD/HOD this puts my trading at ease. Based on how much room I need to get the stop loss I decide if i will take a full position or half position. If my stop loss is .30 away on a very active stock i am not going to take a full size. If is .20 cents then I feel more comfortable taking a full position. Once in the trade check out the price action and what is telling you if you see any indication that your is likely not going to happen get out regardless of the stop loss. I used to set a stop loss and sometimes when the price action was not looking favorable I would still stay in the trade to see if it would work out then get out at my stop loss. Instead of losing a .05 I would lose .15 . There is no reason for that, jump out and if the set up becomes active again jump back in. Andrew is great at this, we cannot be afraid to jump out if things don't look good for a small loss and jump back in when the set up is back in play. Easier to make up 5 cents than 15 cents. There are so many variables and other possible areas of improvement but again without knowing what your specific struggling with it's difficult to hit the nail on the head. Others might also have a different answer that can fit better to what you are experiencing, so look forward to seeing responses from other members as well, as we all deal with this differently. There is no wrong answer, just what will work best for your trading style.

    Getting  prepared for another week of trading. Sundays I like to take some time to review last week's journal and focus on what could be done better for the coming week. Every day we trade we take something with us. No matter if is a green or red day something was learned. What we did well we want to repeat and what we did poorly we want to improve. My job is to highlight those things and bring them front and center, with special focus what I need to improve on. Whatever your routine is to prepare for the trading week make sure you do it so you are ready to have a successful week.

    Let's Rock This Week BBT! 🤘 😎 🤘

    Ran into this picture online today... This is so true about any type of success in any career or goal. People only see what others have achieved and want the shortcut to the top. In my personal opinion, in Day Trading there are no shortcuts, the work must be put in, by education, practice, practice and even more practice. After comes the physiological and emotional part that is trigger when we put skin (real money) in the game. This is were we need to transform from a regular Day Trader's mindset to a Successful Day Trader's mindset. This is by far the hardest part of Day Trading and requires hard work, persistence, and dedication just to name a few.... #wegotthis

      I would say the underwater part should be bigger. haha

      I agree!  If you don't invest in what you want there is no return.. Day trading is like any other profession, it requires commitment, dedication, and hard work. People want to be successful and have success, but they don't want to put in the time or work.  Unfortunately for them, it's not like that.

      Totally agree, I guess  I came across almost everything underwater. The rest must be waiting for me lol!)) Hopefully, it pays off eventually)  I like this pic btw!)
