Nice! I get phantom fills sometimes, no kidding. My account balance shows me at a loss, but the PnL shows me at a win. So, exit, reboot, cross fingers, and . . . damn, another loss!

Insert grain of salt here> Overtrading is good - when you are profitable. Overtrading is bad - when you are not profitable. For simplicity's sake . . . Overtrading is when you have met any of the following conditions: 1. You feel the need for excitement, and are entering marginal...

Pre-market oil action and some AM flux on the indices today . . . hit daily trade/profit targets, leaving me at +2025, and done.

Once again, I gotta thank MacroEvent (who has also helped me in the past). Not too many people are willing to divulge anything about their personal trading style/strategy on E.T., especially without a certain level of vagueness. Based on what Macro mentioned: it was spot-on, which was...

After some serious homework and thorough performance analysis, I finally got the kinks worked out over the weekend, which resulted in modified trading plan/goals. That by itself has made me feel much better about my current strategy. Profit target hit by stops: Net +2101 and done.

For those of you who regularly trade the ER2 - what do you currently use as leading indicators for price movement? YM, NQ, ES, IWM, INDU, COMP, SPX, TICK/TRIN, etc. etc. I have been experimenting with combinations of some of the above and seem to get mixed results which are different every...

No post yesterday - Nearly had a nervous breakdown after more catastrophic losses. Got absolutely annihilated this week. Fought all day long to post +28 net; yes, 2800 pennies, but at least there's a + in front of it . . . Not in the groove at all this week - WTF? :confused: :confused...

Stupid intraday, sideways, no volume-havin', trades killed me as I got beaten to a pulp over last two days, but now fighting back: +3065 for the day - a personal best!

Gotta love those down days, money doesn't always like to work. I managed to smoke ALL of my gains for the month -11,253 net. Ouch! What is it with going out of town, then having a down day right afterward? :mad: :( :confused:

Got upside down several times off the open (recurring theme), but managed to fight back. Done for the week. Have a blast y'all.

A clean sweep for some straight-down short action off the open. I minimized transaction costs today; blotter speaks the truth. Done for today.

Okay- Current Interest Rates as of 9/28/05 for 3 month money market: (from The Economist- 10/01/2005) Australia - 5.65 Britain - 4.56 U.S.A - 3.85 Switzerland - .77 Japan - .02 Way to go Japan! Yep, that's where I'll be puttin' my pennies . . .

The blotter lies . . . although only about transaction costs. Fought hard to get out of yesterday's shallow grave (swear I could smell a cheap coffin made o' pine). Done for the day at +2267 net.

Also back from short vacation . . . should have stayed. Got scalped today. -1235

Traded first 45 min before flight outta town. Got up, got down, and finished at +762 net for the day. Already settled, so no blot; on vacation, but a solid up week - nice to see y'all in the black as well. Only complaint: not quite as warm where I'm at now . . .

+2068 net. Done for the day y'all.

Paste them both into Paint (or whatever) and cut, paste, resize.

Disregard my gains of 290 from prior post. My old nemesis Greed joined up with me, and together we posted a quick -33 for the day. Panic selling wins yet again! :mad: :( :mad:

Got in on some small position size/low-volume action late in the day (slept in for once).

+855 net - done for the day.
