    Welcome to Tuesday!!!! The fight to beat Wall Street and battle to remain consistently in the green at the end of the day continues!!! Believe it or not but this blog made it onto the most comprehensive list of Top 100 Trading Blogs on the internet !! Thats just amazing!!! I'm blown away!!! here's the website:

I feel great today especially compared to yesterday. I have to hit the gym later today as I had an early morning appointment at the DMV for a new drivers license.
    There is not any significant market moving economic news scheduled for today. So I'll just keep an eye out for some trump tweets or world macro news while I am trading today. Right now the markets are slightly in the red so we will see what the trend will be for the day.
     the trade plan remains the same today. 1-2 tick scalps throughout the day waiting on a bigger move off of support or resistance. Also I am going to work on being patient and more active charting the swings during the day.
here are my pre-market levels:
430PM
   Ok Bam big money today!!!!  I had a great day scalping today and I made it to the gym during lunch!!!

I made a few bad trades but ended up recovering from them. However, i did miss some very good trades(first chart) that would have made a lot more money with little risk. Of course its easier to read the left side of the chart after the fact but I didn't even see these due to the fact that I was focusing on the 30 sec time frame chart.
Things I did good:
1. I was pretty focused on the price action and reading the tape today. A few times i got a little mentally wore out but overall I was focused.
2. kept my losses as low as possible. when scalping my average winning trade takes 19 seconds and my average losing trade takes 1 min and 24 seconds. Today my average winning trade took 5 seconds and my losers took 14 seconds. i would say that was a good improvement with regards to scalping.
Where I can Improve:
1. do more intra day charting on different time frames looking for those different S/R areas and also candle stick formations.
2. Keep an eye out on the 3 min chart for pinning bars and take 1 contract trades off of those.
3. Take a break and exercise every 50 mins or so. I gotta get that mind cleared!!
goals for tomorrow:
1. write my "needs to improve" areas on the dry erase board and then improve on them!!!
2. Spell out my daily checklist on the chalk board for visual reference!!
here are my end of day charts:

Mon, Sep 9, 2019 Total trades: 27 Total volume: 138 Closed P&L: $412.50        Well today started off terrible for me. I woke up and just felt terrible. I'm not sure if it was something i ate or what. So I skipped the gym, didn't do my pre-market work, took some pepto, and went back to bed. When I got up I felt better but decided not to trade and just get some charting in. My head was a little cloudy and one of my rules is not to trade when i don't feel good. Well I had the perfect set-up forming right off of the 61.8% retracement so i decided to jump in and make a quick scalp. Bam..lost $200 in the matter of seconds so now I have to get my money back. Next two trades go the same way and now i'm down $425 or so. I have a personal daily loss limit of $500 which is 1% of my account so i set my stop at -$75 and went to work scalping 2 and sometimes 4 contracts for 1 and 2 tick moves. keep in mind that it is 345 Pm est at this time and I w

Wed, Sep 11, 2019 Total trades: 10 Total volume: 88 Closed P&L: $550.00 Trade journal notes for Sept 11th.         On a side note outside of trading, the terrorist attacks to the US on this day in 2001 dramatically changed the life of my Family. I was in the US military and from September 2001 and on i was deployed to either Afghanistan, Iraq or sometimes Africa every calendar year from 01-2016(with the exception of 2007-8). My Family and i went through a lot, we lost some good friends, made some good friends and watched some friends and their family's fall apart due to the war. However, I retired in 2016, locked my office door and took up trading!! I haven't looked back since. Its been a hard journey with a steep learning curve but my wife has been supportive and I couldn't think of anything i would rather do than battle it out with the markets everyday!!! Sorry about all of that and onto the trading stuff: I did some quick pre-
