Re: Trader P/L 2009

I usually do not trade the open but the pa looked very good to me, I attempted to write on the chart and erased a bunch of the bars that is why it looks crazy.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

OK. Back to trading.

Sim trading. In the first chart, you can see where I put my buy and sell stops early this morning somewhere around 1 or 2am, using the previous high and low (the ellipses) at the consolidation. I had a 10 point target in both direction based on an earlier swing low and high at the ellipses on the second chart (the middle ellipse is the consolidation) which is a 60 minute chart.

Trade was triggered to the high side at 3:04 and 10 pt. target was hit at 9:47 this morning. I don't think I have ever made a successful trade like this with that large a target. It was about as satisfying a trade as I have ever done. Usually I am stopped out with that large a target because I use a small stop, but this time I used stops based on earlier S/R so I had larger stops. Entry and target hit are on the last chart. The ellipses to the left just showing the swing high and low of the consolidation where I had my buy and sell stops.

Trade taken and managed off the 15 min. chart. Targets set based on 60 min. chart.
