Both of my pre-market fundamental trades worked out but I only traded one of them. Did not trade anything else today which is too bad because my 6E pre-market worked out also.

Hey Bathrobe,

Is this SIM or real money you are trading? Those are some pretty big numbers...

Bathrobe is our resident "big stick" live trader. I believe he posted up a 60k day in the '09 thread. Certainly left me with room to improve... ;)

Thanks daedalus, I am flattered.

 

I just want to re-emphasize to those that may be reading this for the first time I was originally a terrible, impulsive trader (futures) and I have sacrificed quite a lot during my learning curve.

Another week gone by and ended up +$500 for the week which I am happy with considering the couple rough days. Swings were much better today but I was cutting everything short because of yesterday's range problems. Too many trades again.

+$2255 (+$6266 for the week). Finally, a decent day after a great day. I'll take that. Just an interesting story here.... My first trade of the day (which is that +$2700 trade in my blotter) was 4 minutes in duration. To be honest, I just got lucky as hell. My system shorted AMLN, right before the bottom dropped out on a huge volume spike at around 10:35ish and then took it's profit at the bottom of that spike.

After my first entry I was up 50 ticks. Had a few more good entries but made a miscalculation and got a full stop out which burned me bad. I have become somewhat dissatisfied with my under $450 days. My good day average should be higher at this point.

Great news! I just realized daylight savings started so I wasn't even trading during my most profitable time which is the hour right after open. :doh:

 

I got all my charts adjusted and turned back my alarm clock. I'll actually be ready for open tomorrow. For some reason I had it in my mind that I didn't need to worry about daylight savings until April.

Wasn't expecting a trend up day. Had 3 full stop outs so things were looking bleak before the 3rd move up. A setup close to my most trusted setup occured after 10:00 EST so even though I hate trading lunchtime, I took it and got my 40 ticks to end the day well. Probably should add another contract when I see that setup. Getting up to trade at 4:15am is not going to be easy but were going to make it work.

I never bother with FOMC days. Slow slop before, spastic after - no "normal" action 90% of the time. I gotta admit though, I look forward to them. I get a nice little mini vacation each time. :)

 

Spent my day sleeping in, watching movies, and working on my tennis serve! All in all - a great FOMC day for me!

Daedalus,

That's great advice. I think I'm going to join you on your day off next time......

    • Date: 13th May 2024. Market News – Stock markets traded mixed; Flat USD ahead of US CPI.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Japanese government bond yields surged to multi years highs after the BOJ’s unexpected move to decrease the quantity of bonds it typically purchases during routine operations, signaling a more hawkish stance to the markets. BOJ Kato stated that it’s natural that monetary policy will revert to positive interest rates, while BOJ Governor Ueda signalled the potential for multiple rate hikes ahead. Chinese authorities have kicked off plans to sell $140bn of long-dated bonds on Friday, in order to support investment in key areas and reinforce economic momentum in the second quarter amid the country’s lengthy property crisis. US government plans to raise tariffs to a raft of Chinese exports were weighing on sentiment. BlackRock stated: The Yen’s weakness is turning foreign investors away from Japanese stocks. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows, at 105.58 ahead of US CPI on Wednesday, while USDJPY is holding at 155.80, after retesting May’s high at 155.96. EURUSD steady above 1.0750 as the euro zone prepares for an inflation reading of its own on Friday. USOIL declined amid demand concerns and as traders looked ahead to an OPEC+ meeting on supply policy. On the supply front, the Iraqi Oil Minister initially claimed that production cuts were adequate and opposed further reductions but later deferred decisions to OPEC. Next OPEC+ meeting: June 1. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold corrected to $2349 per ounce, from $2380 highs. Market Trends:   Asian stocks fluctuate between gains and losses, as sentiment was impacted by disappointing Chinese economic data alongside optimism amid reports indicating that the country plans to initiate the sale of ultra-long bonds. European markets are also narrowly mixed in opening trade, while US futures are slightly higher. The NASDAQ is outperforming. Bonds are finding buyers and the 10-year Treasury yield is down -1.0 bp, while Bund and Gilt yields have corrected -1.3 bp and -2.3 bp in early trade. Always trade with strict risk management.
