Re: Trader P/L 2009
Good to see you posting dinero!

ZS is losing the old contract and we got a nice move there. I know you didn't make money at it, but watching the charts should have felt differently today. I was short into that but got out WAY TOO SOON... bummer.

Welcome to posting to the thread!

Please do, I would most certainly benefit from some insight into this area because I know my risk management and trade management are shocking. The scary thing for me is that I whenever I try to reduce the risk or manage it with a focus on risk reduction, I'm also then decreasing my profits and rather quickly how I'm trading turns into a BE or slightly below zero return. I've virtually given up trying to do this. Insights from the experts would be great.

With king regards,

bathrobe, if I may ask, what kind of size are you trading on the ES?

I do not have a set amount I trade each time. Depends on how risky the trade seems to me. Most of my trades are between 50 and a few hundred.

Re: Trader P/L 2009
boat load of trades again. Not really the plan. First 3 trades of the day were all losers(-7, -16, -13). Like yesterday was either B/E or down mist of the day, but i found a good ES trade near the open that put me at +20 pips or so for the day. enough.

Re: Trader P/L 2009
11-3-09: +$417.50

I think I just need to train a monkey to do this and then just pick up the check. If I told you guys what I should be doing you probably wouldn't believe me. I don't know what my problem is here lately w/ focus.

If I keep this up I won't have much hair left to pull out...




And yes, I could try to automate it but having a monkey seems like a pretty cool option.
