Based on my strategy (shooting stars & tweezers at resistance levels) there were 2 excellent trading opportunities. Tomorrow I will ONLY be taking trades at the 2nd SD.

Post away EJ!

If you want, feel free to start a thread in the candlestick corner on this too. I'm sure you will get some interest.

Haven't posted a chart yet, so thought id post one of my oil trading today, using my spreadbet firm. Only small trades.

These are the kind of days I do well on. We'll see if I can cut my losses short when the trend days come in the future. Best SIM day for me ever. Just 1 contract.

For some reason I cannot pull up my fill record so trust me when I say I ONLY had 17 trades. Still overtrading. I ended the day with $160 trading QM & CL. Had just 7 trades and a whole lote more money at 1:15 CST before I cracked and made 10 trades in 15 minutes. But I am getting better :-)

On another noteI had a short QM at 7489 with a 10 tick SL and for some unknown reason took it off for a 4 tick loss. Anybody trading oil knows what happened next.

I'll only post the disciplined trade.

1-26-10: +$230

1-27-10: +$1809.99

Tue was a dig yourself out of a hole day. I started w/ a nice win and then kept fighting the up move. Eventually recovered.

Today was much easier, much like Monday. If every day could be this easy, I could trade stress free. lol

I did some more sim oil exploration today myself, and I had a bit of a rough start with it first thing in the morning, but I got short a dime lower than you and held for the run down, including adding at 74.58 and also on the break of yesterday's low, which to me was the most obvious trade, and gave the easiest and quickest profit. I gave a good bit back when I left to go play with my kids and I had an open order in the platform with no stop loss. No matter, it's only sim dollars. Did I mention that this was sim trading?

I had one real money trade today - a break even long on the 6E. Every month I tell myself to take the fed days off. Every month I sit there spinning my wheels anyway. At least today, thanks to Brownie, I was able to keep from over trading myself by sim trading oil. I've had quite a bit of fun with it the last two days.

Best Wishes,

Thales

I played a retrace on CL for 5 cents and 1/2 a point in the es.
