Re: Trader P/L 2009

How do you post the P/L directly to the post so we can read it rather than switching back and forth? Thanks

Re: Trader P/L 2009

... tumbling down the rabbit hole.

Wednesday trades:


... but there's a light at the end.

Thursday and Friday trades:


I figured out what I did wrong. I made some adjustment 2 weeks ago that corresponded
with my performance deterioration. Could not be a coincidence. I rolled back
the change with immediate positive feedback (Th and Fr pnl)
Important thing, I kept the losers small, preserved the capital, and worked hard trying to understand why .

Good Luck.

Bonds can and do move quickly but stops are pretty much honored there (minimal slippage) whereas on oil your stop market can turn into a nightmare quickly. Basically I am willing to take trades on markets where news will be impacting them if my stops can hold for the most part. That does not apply on oil for sure.

This post shows you how to do it directly on TL.

So this is what the 6E felt like today...





Not sure how much cussing would be tolerated here, so we'll leave it at that. Definitely not in sync w/ the 6E today.

Brownie,

That is one of the funniest emoticons I have ever seen - and I know that feeling well.

Sorry you had a bad day with the 6E, but thanks for making me laugh (at the emoticon, not at you!).

Best Wishes,

Thales

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Ok, sorry I was called away today and did not trade real, only sim...... High number of trades at 21, but there were 4 or 5 at even. I was up but let myself get smoked by that run late in the day for 3 losers in a row but I fought back and ended up $505. all 2 contract YM trades. No real excuse for the 3 losers, it was late in the day and I was way up so I got cocky and didn't expect that rally to just keep going.... I kept trying to get short for a pull back but it just kept going. I like to tell myself I would never enter trades like that for real..... Anyways back again tomorrow.
