I'm just going to pop in one last time before I begin posting results next week...I know I'm taking up a lot of room in the P/L thread for not posting any P/L!

I am going to do this, but I'm also still going to trade the first half of the Tokyo session (7:00PM - 11:30PM Eastern Time). I figure that won't make the transition to futures any less smooth...I'd just simply drop Tokyo.

I figure while I am trading spot, I might as well take advantage of all the possible opportunity. I came to this conclusion last night after I watched the opportunity of a lifetime pan out...I called it in real-time and drew lines on the chart as I would manage it, but I wasn't trading, just watching. Had I left it overnight, this morning that trade could have been closed for +20R...that's a 40% return for me.

Obviously one opportunity isn't what I'm basing my decision on...it just caused me to realize that it was sort of silly to sit and watch and not trade if I could.

----------

On another note, each weekend I get a little thrown off from having two days off...I get out of the flow and Monday's are always a bit of an uphill battle...plus, I feel more pressure than usual when I load up my computer on Monday's.

So, my solution to this is to SIM trade Monday's and live trade the rest of the week. BUT, since I'm trading SIM already, I guess how I would do it is to trade a different SIM account "off the record" Mondays, and SIM "on the record" the rest of the week.

What I'll do is SIM "off the record" during the first half of the Tokyo session Sunday night and the 6E RTH Monday. Then, begin to trade SIM "on the record" Monday evening at the open of Tokyo.

took two losses today, and my good trade only went +9 (target was +11) and v-reversed in my face so I was left with a tick. Sometimes they just don't fall when they should!

Today was so-so, I had a terrible headache I got out of every trade to early, as shown by the chart, 2 es trades for 2.25 points along with a scratch that was stupid on my part. I also had an NQ trade but I exited only because I saw a setup that I look for on the ES which was the short near the end of the day. The NQ trade was profitable but due to the point value I would rather trade the es. Each ES trade was 2 contracts.

You guys should post charts and we can get a discussion going regarding methods and whatever else.

Despite my early exits, I was happy with my entries.

No trades on Monday.

I trade CME beans. I trade small but I am going for consistency.

Taking a short break from my P/L posts. I am trying to work on developing setups which have a higher win ratio and fewer entries. Here are the 2 setups I was watching today on oil. Took the first one but moved my stop to B/E to fast. Wasn't watching my screen for the second one although I had been just before and had marked the trendline and entry level already. I've been considering using trendlines mixed with S/R level. Trying to see how it works out over time. Gives me much fewer entries but I like the risk reward profile on most of these that I have seen.

I wish I could post charts, but I am trying program trading with many positions. So it's hard..but I did good in the SIM land..

Short (took 2 short positions), Got stopped out: -75$

Net Profit for day: 375$

I will have to keep sim trading live to build confidence into my system.
