Re: Trader P/L 2009

Sim trading. 15 minute chart. Sold on break of consolidation (top red dashed line). This has actually become my favorite trade. The ES almost always consolidates in the evening, and trading that breakout for a few points. Target was bottom red dashed line. Had target set about a point above that. Sometimes it tends not to quite reach the support so I fudge it and set the target a little higher. Although it did go on to break support. Trade triggered at 11:50 last night and target hit at 9:33 this morning. 3 pts.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Today I had a problem with my platform again

I had to flatten, which sends a mkt order, which I normally do not use.

You gave all that back due to a market order? Aye chihuahua.

Nothing today as I was up late doing a few things. Got to the computers too late today, but man some nice setups were there. I just hate trading when tired so the snooze button was used today.

Brownsfan,

I can't remember how you trade. Are you price action/patterns only or do you use indicators?

Most of my stuff is in the candlestick corner.

It wasn't so much the market order as the fact that many of my contracts were not in my target which I did not notice until I thought I was out but the dom p/l was dancing around. As you know in Ninja Trader you can not just hit a button to flatten but you have to right click and choose "flatten everything" By the time I realized all this and did some quick math regarding what my commissions are on the trade, I decided to flatten. But no I did not lose that much from having to flatten.
