Re: Trader P/L 2009

I should have held with my original idea, but the fear set in. Trying to build up acct. size.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Tough day. Was down pretty good until later this afternoon. Felt like the market was hunting my stops.

I took a lot of trades so I am just doing the screen capture of my blotter.

Way to bounce back. That is always tough.

If you want to verify the prices, get your charts up and you'll see that price traded there at some point today. No point of providing an ambitious person the chance to reverse engineer my uber fantastic trading system.
Outstanding start on your new approach. Great stuff!

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Thanks XD. It was so much easier too - calmer, more relaxed.

Granted it was only one day, but it just felt better. Felt better to focus on prime setups wherever they might occur vs. feeling like I had to push it on 1 market.

Those currencies sure are fun to trade. If you like to see swift profit or loss, good place to be there (in the AM hours). I was impressed w/ how quickly the 6J trade became profitable and by how much.

Hi Brown,

I am still here.

Well, I have tested some things during the last 2 weeks,
and I hope that I will back next week with my simulation trades.

This last two weeks; I would have lost a lost a lot of bucks ("playing"! with 10 or 20 NQ lots) but it was necessary to find my focus again.
(Btw.: Not clever at all, if you/I couldn't trade 10 or 20 in real!!! )

Anyway, regarding to your timestamps issue, I will include them, because
I have no clue, how someone can reverse a discretionary trader by using his/her time stamps. lol

Back to me (ego trip!!!); I see my weakness, and I have to work on it. Lets see.

Time moves on.

Time will come.



P.S.: Even for my blog. I have changed my mind during the last year.
It is all a process and it needs time.
The way might be difficult, the solution might look easy.
Yade, yade, ... (or so)

I would like to add the 30 year to the ES, because I go long stretches with no ES trades. I may be too conservative but due to my current account size I have to be.

Brownsfan, congrats on successfully trading more than one market.
