My it has been some time since I've updated this thing. Why is that? Mostly because this journal has fulfilled it's sole purpose-for me to develop a profitable trading strategy. I can say today that I have done that.

I've been consistently profitable for long enough now to say, well, that I am consistently profitable. I want to take some time to recognize that lot of that is due to the help and advice of people on this forum. I was also lucky enough early on to be able to witness and learn from some amazing traders in action. While watching these successful traders was of course helpful strategically, what it really did was to open my eyes to what is possible trading. It showed me what is possible if you work hard and never give up. Just browsing trading forums can be downright depressing to anyone hoping to turn this into a career. Sometimes it just seems impossible.

It's not.

Having said that, I want it to be clear that I am not where I want to be as a trader. Difficulties have arisen that I could have never foreseen. Difficulties that aren't even really related to having a profitable trading strategy. All I can say is that learning to trade is an intensely personal and subjective experience. And, for me at least, trading profitably is just one part of really making this work.

So, having said all that, it seems that the public aspect of this trading journey is over. The hurdles I have to overcome now are more personal, and in some ways more difficult to pinpoint. But I welcome any questions from anyone regarding all aspects of what I do and how I learned to do it. I would love to help anyone who needs it, if I am able to (and I'm not saying I am). I'm not going to be browsing forums and answering questions...that can make anyone go insane. If I can help, please let me know either in this thread or via PM.

And with that said, see you in the markets bitches!

Jon,
Could you post a couple screen shots of levels you would consider right now on the 6E?

Do you still trade Oil at all?
