Trader P/L 2009

Recommended Posts

Congrat on your success! Just out of curiosity what are your targets like? Point-wise I mean. I'm just wondering if you're trading huge lots for a few ticks of if you're catching big moves, or somewhere in between. I apologize in advance if you've answered this question in the past...

 

larger lots for what the market gives me, but I do not hold on for a very long time and a great deal of points.

 

I should see what my average target is, I would guess around 6-8 ticks, I have been improving on this since mid-summer though. I have been able to have the discipline to hold on longer.

 

I do not have a target going into a trade that is not based on anything but a number I made up, I wait until the trade looks like it is no longer moving in my direction or something else.

Today was the first day I only watched Crude and the Ten Year, I took one trade a short in CL, and I am happy with my analysis and execution. I was also finished very early which is always nice.

 

My short took off to the down side and gave me a picture perfect exit at the price I wanted when I entered the short.

 

I would like to watch the S&P, Crude Oil, 10 Year Note and possibly the Euro, 30 Year, FDAX, FESX, BUND, BOBL, SCHATZ and Nikkei. We will see if I can handle it, my main priority is the ES.

 

The results here are only Crude Oil. I got out part of my position with a very small gain and partial loss, which let the rest run, after this I managed my position very aggressively.

For whatever reason Ninja Trader combines trades, I do not understand why but I placed 1 trade today.

 

That is 300 posts :)

Just the ES today as I didn't get going till later than normal. Missed some nice moves on oil apparently though.

 

Nice job BR on the oil trade! Welcome to the cartel. We will be at your doorstep shortly for initiation.

Ninja counts trades by the number of exits/fills not entries.

Right after oil comes out I seem to do the best. My good "after inventory" trades had to offset my morning overtrading of oil. ZS gave me a picture perfect bounce of my support. I did better not overtrading today but still lots of work to be done on that. I guess I have a bit of a gambler inside me that has to be controlled constantly while watching the charts.

Just when I thought I might be getting along with the ES again, it slaps me around and calls me it's bitch. So then I quickly went over to the RLM and got my money back.

 

Let me explain via pictures...

As they say, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for a reversal trader the RLM provided a few nice trades with quick profits and the ES just didn't do anything.

Just trying my crystal ball... did you use 3 or 4 contracts on the RLM?

Nice work all round for the year bathrobe. I was puzzled why you would want to watch the nikkei during USA hours. The CME contract is pretty pathetic IMHO and is really nothing more than an after hours market for the main Nikkei out of Osaka. Or, maybe you are meaning to extend your trading hours beyond just the USA session.

 

I've traded the nikkei daily for a couple of years..it's a pretty low volatility market, but has great volumes if you use the Osaka contracts.

 

With kind regards,

MK

I have not taken a hard look at the Nikkei yet but I plan on doing so soon. I was referring to the Osaka contract.

ITs almost over for this year. Next year promises to be very interesting. I have been working on some kind of auto trader for Ninja to just get me into the trade if my rules were met. Something simple, like where is price, where is S&R, where was price before reaching S&R, and if from below, sell it, if from above buy it but only if volume was greater than last time it was here or greater than 2 periods ago....hmm....simple enough?

How do you define SR?

I was not at work to trade today so I had to deal with kids while trying to keep up with the CL, ZS, 6E, RLM, and the 6E. Not ideal.

I'll definitely be getting office space somewhere once I move to full time trading.

 

The G oil contract had more volume today than the F for the first time so I switch over and realized the price was way different ($2) and the got confused whether my S/R levels were still in the right place on the new contract. :confused:

 

The ES is so slow that I had to walk away from the computer just to stay in the trade.

 

The ZS had a good move but I wasn't watching it at the right time to catch it.

Hi Gabe,

 

It is up to you, of course, but when you quot someone with embedded charts, or any lengthy post for that matter, you can delete the images or some of the text from the quote to save screen real estate and forum pages.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

 

Here's an example using the post you quoted from Brownie:

    • Date: 14th May 2024. Market News – May 14. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Asian stocks and European futures kept to small ranges as focus turned to upcoming US inflation reports. JGB yields surged to their highest levels in over a decade amid growing speculation that the BOJ might raise interest rates soon. Former central bank executive Momma stated that the BOJ might opt to deduct its planned bond purchases next month in an effort to revive a bond market that has been largely impaired by its ongoing substantial purchases. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of the market determining long-term yields independently rather than relying solely on the central bank’s actions. UK wage growth remained solid amid a slowdown in the job market, providing further arguments for the BOE’s monetary policy hawks to await more concrete signs of easing inflationary pressures before considering interest rate cuts. Eyes today are on producer price data in the US, followed by consumer price data the next day, which will provide insights into whether the Fed will consider interest rate cuts later in the year or postpone them until 2025. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows. The Yen extended losses for an 8th day against the Greenback to a 2-week low. Currently USDJPY is at 156.45. EURUSD rebounded slightly to 1.0785, however overall holds within a downwards channel with key resistance at 1.0850. USOIL held steady ahead of the release of an OPEC market outlook, with traders eagerly awaiting signals regarding the extension of supply curbs. Despite a decline since April, oil prices have remained relatively high this year due to ongoing supply restrictions by OPEC and its allies, with expectations that these curbs will be prolonged into the second half of the year. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold (-0.93%) declined further to $2338 per ounce. Copper rose at +2.46% and Platinum +0.54%. Market Trends:   The 10-year JGB yield to a 6-month high of 0.965%. The 2-year JGB yield, which closely reflects policy expectations, rose to 0.340%, its highest since June 2009. The 20-year and 30-year JGB yields also surged to their highest levels in 11 years and since July 2011, respectively. FTSE100 stands by record highs, the S&P500 is close to topping March’s record high. The Nasdaq rose by 0.3%, with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks rising. The Hang Seng has added 20% in a rally that is entering a fourth week. Alibaba and Tencent report earnings later today. Always trade with strict risk management.
