    Beating the Odds - Kylash's Trade Journal

    I'm still trying to decide on two things: 1. If my daily profit target should be 1 point or 2 points, it seems that every day now I've reached at least 1 point. 2. If my daily stop loss should be -4 points, or 2 consecutive losing trades.

    Haha so net-net for the week, I'm only +$24. Which is a big improvement from last week but as we all know, no one can make a living off $24, well for that case, no one can make a living off of 1 contract. It's a good thing my life doesn't depend on this money...

    Just found no place to jump on the trend today, I'm looking at a 1000 tick bearish signal that I'm going to be taking in sim. I'm going to try using a 4 point stop instead of 8 point stop on my sim trades this afternoon and see how it goes.
