By the way, I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions. Keep them coming!

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...

9:21:52 - 9:28:51 Short 1 6E - 1.4118 Cover 1 6E - Stopped Out 1.4126 P/L: -$100 Total P/L for today: -$212.50 Reached $200 stop out and am done for the day..... sticking to my plan.

Sorry didn't post yesterday..... ending up with P/L about +$45 after commissions. Today, well not so good so far. 8:33:26 - 8:34:58 Bought 1 ES - 983.50 Sold 1 ES - Target One (984.25) P/L: +$37.50 8:37:22 - 8:38:40 Bought 1 6E - 1.4112 Sold 1 6E - Stopped Out (1.4104) P/L...

Sorry didn't post yesterday. Yesterday I ended the day early with +$37.50 (There was one trade signal that fired off in the afternoon that I wasn't around to get. Anyway today... Bought 1 ES - 971.00 Sold 1 ES - Target (972.00) P/L: $50 Short 1 ES - 970.50 Cover 1 ES - Target...

B/E today, not much to post about... suppose it's better then being red for the day... Thanks for all the replies.

Funny how those non emotional sim trades seem to work out.. SIM Trade 2:01PM Short 2 ES - 973.50 Cover 1 ES 972.50 Have stop at break-even with one runner contract.

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.

Should I just quit now while I have at least a bit of dignity left...? I feel really stupid posting these but as I've said before, there's no use in not being a honest about my trades. Short 1 ES - 962.75 Cover 1 ES - Stopped Out 964.00 P/L: -$62.50 Bought 1 ES - 968.75 Cover 1 ES -...

Nice start today. Short 1 EC - 1.4228 Cover 1 EC - Target (1.4223) P/L: $62.50

You know I actually haven't, I'll try that with a bit of sim trading and see how it works. Thanks for the suggestion.
