It is true. OK. I will have to explain that title. Ha ha.
Yesterday, (Thursday), was a "no trade" day. Pat and I had an appointment with someone in the "Queen City".
At least that is what is Cincinnati has been referred to for all of my life. Which is long. lol
So after the appointment was completed. You know the outcome. Belterra isn't that far away from Cincinnati.
So, she had made reservations for the night. That is OK with me. But it has been taking away my trading time.
Now that I don't like. Oh, well. I will have to adjust. When we are married. The daily plan isn't one sided. Ha
(Belterra-what I call the cornfield casino)
We did our usual. Very good eating. Room is excellent. I don't gamble. You know the drill.
Oh, I did lose $2.50 this trip. That cuts my winning edge down to $47.50. Ugh
The dollar apple is being sliced and that is the wrong way. I don't like that. It had been $65 dollars before the slide.
I have been taking my Steemit computer with me to the casino. But, I had never loaded the trading platform into it.
Until................
Today, starting a 4:30 am. I began the process of the download and all the indicators that I need on the charts.
I will show you one of the setups that I had to make this morning.
Since the market is closed.
I will show my actual trading chart that I use from Daniels Trading and the CFRN indicator set that I use.
It took some time . I was working from memory. And at my age. That can raise some questions. Ha
I didn't have any account numbers or passwords to complete the download.
Not to mention the actual setup of the indicator sets. But, we prevailed friends.
Here is the actual chart that I use to determine the trades that I make. I have modified them some to suit my objectives.
The yellow arrows show my entry and exit points. The left arrow is the buy entry and the right arrow is the sell exit.
I was up against the clock as I was trying to complete the trade. I needed to vacate the room at 11:00 am.
Sometimes it can take hours to complete the trade. So I took one point in the ES trade. With one contract.
That is $50 dollars. The commission costs detracts $5.82 dollars. Leaving $44.18
I was dancing friends. Just kidding.
I was pleased with my work though. Future trips could be more enjoyable. I am a futures trader. Not a gambler.
Here is the "Trading DOM" I use to complete all my trades. It shows today's result near the top right hand side.
And "Completed Orders" You can see the times of entry and exit.
That is why I show it.
You can see all the "cancelled orders." That is where I was testing my new setup on the Steemit computer.
I wanted to show this to you to show you how I think in my daily life. I am always trying to find a way.
To do what I should do or want to do.
You can do the same. Don't let temporary problems overcome your goals either.
OOPs. Bad news. We are scheduled to return next week. I was so excited about losing $2.50 dollars. I wanted to go back.
Sorry. That is false. I think that Pat may have added some green numbers to her dollar tree.
So, I am glad I downloaded my trading platform. I now have an option anyway.
Thank you for viewing and reading my post.
Together we can take Steemit to the top of social media.
