Brownsfan, congrats on successfully trading more than one market.

Chris - it can be a balancing act if working a smaller account and wanting to trade, we've all been there.

One idea/suggestion - start watching the ZB charts and dom. Just see what it's like, esp. when it's moving b/c it can move much quicker than the ES at times. Prepare now w/ nothing on the line so you know what you are getting yourself into.

FYI - the 5 yr note is less per tick, which could be an option if the tick size is intimidating on the 30 yr.

I’ll play.

I recently started simulated trading with Watts method. I try to get a couple hours of trading in during the morning hours (5:00am – 7:00am central). Then it’s time to get ready for work.

I scalp the EC and today things were going well. I followed my setup for all my trades except the very last trade which was a loss. I got emotional and did not enter properly. Done for the day!

Slower day as I am fighting a little cold or something. Just leave it at that and probably rest here soon.

Here are the results for this strategy on ES today. I am testing another strategy that was up very nicely on ES and Bonds yesterday and today. Further testing will be needed.

BF I am very upset with your decision to thwart my efforts to reverse engineer your Uber fantastic method. Now your gonna just have to tell me

1 very short trade today. Looking forward to next week.

Today somehow was not a nice day to trade.

Regarding my trades, I followed my plan at the beginning.
Then I started some impulse trades (losers).
Then I found my focus back.

So all in all, its was a good starting point for next week.
Using one contract, I should just forget about a runner,
these trades consistently kill my day.
