What a freakin month! Didn't see this month's volatility coming at all . . . I gave up watching during the second week, and added cash to account to avoid margin calls. I never doubted there would be a bounce though, currently I'm in the black (holding 3 ESZ4 @ 1959.50), and have had enough...

At this point (me being long 2 ESZ4 @ 1969), its difficult to follow my strategy, my plan, and add to my (at the moment) losing position, but rules are rules, and there is no reward without risk . . . Today Oct 3, I bought to open, near Asian open 1 ESZ4 @ 1940.50. Current position - Long 3...

Sept 25 Near 6:15PM PST I bought to open 1 ESZ4 @ 1964.00, now long 2 ESZ4 @ 1969

DJIA down 264 pts today, not a day you want to be starting long ES! . . . It must have been Eric Holder's resignation that initiated the sell off . . . Because my system sort of averages in, I'm a buyer at these levels, waiting for a small drop to enter.

Good luck. I'd bet against your effort. Sorry. In my experience, success in trading just doesn't come this way. All the time you spend every single day trying to make 12.5$ one tick (one lot), you could make probably buying a few shares of SPY in Oct and selling them in Jan. What is your...
