Trader P/L 2010

Recommended Posts

A few swing trades dragged down my PnL... Otherwise a good month. Too many trades.

My goal this year is to get my average trade up to $38, and reduce the number of trades.

So far I am realizing that my percentage may have to slip a bit in order to keep the bigger trade. We'll see.

CL sure is a zippy little market, Brownie. I never realized how that thing can just roll thrrough ticks like it does. Its like trading the 6E during a news release, but it seems for CL, the quick ticking keeps right on rolling. I see a lot intraday gaps on the tick chart as well. They usually fill immediately, but I see many times where atrade will take place at, for example, 73.28, and the next print is 73.18, but price quickly rolls the dime and ends back at 73.28, even if for just a tick.

 

Best Wishes,

Yep, this little bugger moves. Anyone thinking of trading this should watch live, real-time charts first.

And only 11 trades?!

 

:)

 

;)

 

(Actually 12 - I just made a late afternoon trade is ES +75)

 

My numbers are lower than I like (I prefer to be on the other side of 500) but I am back to profitable with only one losing day (small) this week.

 

Thanks to all in this thread for keeping me honest!

I am continuing what I plan to be a three week exploration demo trading CL. At the end of three weeks, if all goes as well as it has gone so far (last week and today), I will replace the ES as my non-currency future for day trading and replace it, at least temprarily, with CL.

 

Here is my demo blotter from today - using Ninja trader, and again, it is a demo, not live.

Like I posted before, trending days are not for me. A few reasonable trades on the other futures saved me from annihilation.

 

Amen! I hate trending days - give me a range bound market any day! lost -250 in Oil and had to switch over to ES to make some money.

 

+287.50 for the day

The overnight was pretty good. Letting my robot do the trading for me while I sleep.

 

My robot was up all night trading and he started off well but then lost a couple big ones, got emotional, and revenge traded till morning. Not good p/l in the end.

+$1,670

 

Yea! Best SIM day ever.:)

Oil was acting weird in the morning so I gambled on it being a big down morning and just trailed my stop at pullbacks. Keeping a trailing stop 30 ticks back is hard on SIM, I can't imagine doing it with real money. 6E was bad. For some reason I just couldn't get my head around the fact that I should be short the Euro. Calling it a day now before I go blow my profits on bad setups thinking I'm supertrader.

Good day considering all my a.m. computer problems and watching the CL tank without me....at least I earn a living.

I have to give some credit to my autobot....thanks.

 

Yeah, my autobot was sitting the couch this morning eating cheese nips saying how it wasn't going to be a trend day since we just had one...yada yada. Then he turned into a camaro and drove off. Luckily, I didn't believe him and had a good trading day.

 

Sorry, the robot comments just flow everytime you talk about it. I'll try to resist the urge.

No, keep them coming. Those damned auto bots are trying to take over the market and put us discretionary traders out of business. If it wasn't for us discretionary traders, those auto bots would not have even been invented. As a matter of fact, they couldn't trade spit without us to hold their hands...

most of my homework works out but in the end I have a lot of trouble holding futures, I have a far out target and end up settling for something closer because of nerves. I need to work on this.

    • Date: 29th April 2024. Market News – Yen spikes after drifting to 1990’s levels. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Yen recovered sharply following a plunge to its lowest level in 34 years (USDJPY above 160 for the first time since 1990), prompting speculation of potential intervention by authorities. – The volatility was attributed in part to thin liquidity due to a public holiday in Japan. Japan’s Kanda Said: ‘No Comment for Now’ when asked if intervened. Note: Japan is closed for holidays – Showa Day European and US stock futures climbed, mirroring a positive trend in Asian markets.
