More Trading aggravation with my platform

You know for awhile now I have been noticing that my broker has been giving me HORRIBLE fills at the open... I will place a limit order minutes before the open at my level, and at the open, price will go right through it and not fill me, then it will come back down through it and not fill me... it is only a good while after the open that I am able to actually get in the market with any kind of haste.

I have come to the realization that TD Ameritrade is shit for what I want to do. I put in an order to go long a break of premarket highs at the open and what happens? It gets totally ignored. It's fucking annoying as hell!

If you look at this chart full-size you can see a difference between the 1 and 5 minute charts to the left and center, versus the tick chart to the right... You can clearly see that the premarket high was broken at the open as price flew up and then began to form a bull flag, only to breakout to new highs again where I was also trying to go long and it skipped past my order. look at the tick chart, it doesn't even show ANY of that price action, where of course I was trying to trade.... All it shows is that somewhere right at the open I had in and out of about 3000 shares... I should have been screen capturing the damn thing today...  If this is any indication of how it will be to actually trade with this broker, it's fucking bullshit. 

This is the first time I have seen TD Ameritrade do this to a chart... The guy I am learning from now, Ross Cameron at Warrior Trading, trades at Light Speed. I am going to download their software and try trading a few weeks with that. I am feeling more in line with the patterns, but without the right access to the market, it's for nothing. 

I need to step it up.

The key to this game once you understand it, is to freaking have the self control to do what needs to be done. From now on I am going to start tracking each day/trade I stick to, or break my rules. It is going into the spreadsheet and I am going to get a percentage score for the day.

It has been a week market in small caps the last week or so and I new that going into today. Something set up wonderfully and I did not take the trade my gut told me to take, and then it just kept going higher, squeezing out shorts. I lost $150 on the stock today, thankfully because I was trading smaller size, but damn... I was reading the stock pretty well and got stubborn at the end. I kept exiting positions too quickly only to have them ramp up literally seconds after I got out, which of course frustrated me as time kept moving and I kept doing it.

Then when I noticed the market was probably finished going higher, I wanted to make the money back and I kept trying. Even my very last position would have gotten me a profit on the day, but I bailed quickly. I need to get my head on straight. Here's my recap from last month. As you can see, not a lot of trading days happened for me, and only 2 the month before!
