Great job knowing your limitations. You handled yourself like a pro today.

Long story short, I screwed myself today in the combine and miscalculated my max daily loss. I am not too happy with myself for blowing the $150 and being so careless. Embarrassing... The bottom line is my stopping point for the day should not be anywhere near the max daily loss that TST...

TST fixed my trading report from yesterday and I will post it below. In my previous post I went into a little detail about the day, now I will go into my thoughts on my performance in this post. Was I prepared to trade today? Overall I felt prepared to trade. I felt good and did my homework...

For some reason my results today did not get recorded into my TST trading report. I have sent out an e-mail to TST and I will see what they say. Today I got a quick smack-down on a few shorts after the open. Clearly I was on the wrong side of the fence today. Volatility has been insane the...

I like the strategy of trading the opening range. Lately I have been thinking about developing my own system based off the first 5 or 15 minute range. The markets open 5 days a week and they breakout one way or another every single day. The last few years it seems like the vast majority of...

LMAO!!!!

CL is in a downward spiral. Brutal.... We will get 'em next week. Agreed!!!

Great job again today taking real money. That's awesome and I am happy for you. Hopefully the last couple of days will give you that extra pep in your step that you need to get you where you want to be with trading. Keep up the good work!

Today I was on the wrong side of the market and my theory was incorrect. I was anticipating a move up near the open and it never followed through. I basically wanted to fade the news from yesterday for a leg or two and that did not happen. I had one small winner, 3 full losers, and finished...

Patience would have been better for me today. Or if I would have just shorted when price was at that key level that I mentioned. Was playing the news fade trade and it just did not work out today. My theory was wrong, I lost small today, I must move on, tomorrow is a new day:). I hope your...

They took all my chips! lol The other side won, that area of significance seems to be the top so far for today.

Seems like we are at a major area of significance in CL for the day. Which side is going to win the game of tug-of-war? I am putting my chips on the bulls.

That's awesome you caught that short. It dropped like a stone today. Incredible.... Don't get down on yourself, you had a plan, you followed it, and it worked out well. I can assure you that some of the top CL traders in the business that shorted today's bloodbath did not catch the entire...

Thanks for visiting my journal! You know, I think it might be a good idea to give myself a grade each day I daytrade CL. Hopefully I can get on the honor roll with my trading. lol Interesting that you mention naturally taking on more risk when we are tired. I never really thought about it...

Stopped out of 6b short @ 1.5811 in the middle of the night, 4 ticks slippage, geesh.. -17 ticks on the swing trade, small loss. I just started experimenting with holding contracts overnight and for multiple days the past two months and have had decent results so far. I am still learning...
