Hi Camdo, No I didn't make the SPY entry, but I did do the gold trade. I usually prefer to pick one discretionary battle at a time. I prepared for more of a dip in gold, and tried to stick to my one small entry per day rule. I think I had a pretty good read on the week though. I already...

Sold the news by invoking close all positions macro. Done for the quarter. Will top up account to 100K to start the next quarter. Real-time Account Net Worth $99,484.29 Real-time Unrealized P/L $0.00 Real-time Realized P/L (Today) $989.70

Unrealized losses increased enough today to trigger a 200 share SDS position. I added 100 shares to my UGL, ProShares Ultra Gold. Now down $53, -0.23%. I am still kicking myself for not selling when I had a $400 profit. Real-time Account Net Worth $98,002.12 Real-time Unrealized P/L...

I remember reading about that forward looking error and thought that was a major oversight. I have written code using EL just to see, and it would fail to verify saying it tried to reference future data.

Not wanting to be too aggressive here. It could turn out to be a buy the rumor, sell the news on the meeting of Euro leaders Thursday. I am down 13%, ($160) on ORLY, after a company earnings warning. These up and down days are the zone I like to work in, as I am getting plenty of signals...

I am happy about the minimal DD during the recent market activity. I gave back about half my gains on my gold trade, but am still long. Exposure is good. Real-time Account Net Worth $97,939.97 Real-time Unrealized P/L $21.83 Real-time Realized P/L (Today) $322.12 Net Long Exposure 57%

My gold trade turned out to be a nice hedge for today. I will trail a stop. Net losses on my other positions are $166. Biggest unrealized loss is ADM at $140 on 158 shares. I got the urge to place a 1000 share position in SPY this morning, but it didn’t feel right. The usual script is to...

Hi hoop, most comes from Tradestation. I created a macro using Autohotkey to export the performance report to Excel, and delete the rows I don't find useful. Some are calculations created by me within Excel, such as per share profit (idea came from Lescor's journal), expectancy (EricP)...

Well, that was a real head fake with futures opening up over 1% last night, but closing down over 1% today. Now glad I went flat Friday. I am down $300 on HAL, but still feel good on my overall entry. I added stocks in the S&P midcap index, so now I track about 900 stocks and ETFs. Symbol...

Just for kicks...long 700 HAL 27.96. Current price 27.84. Testing Oct suport levels.

I believe it came about in the futures market where a contract or "car" was how much a railroad car could hold of say corn or wheat.

I closed out my SPY trade yesterday around the open. I moved my stop up because the market appeared to have trouble moving higher. I thought of reversing my position, but thought that would be reckless emotional trading. I am flat going into the weekend. Account balance is 96K after a 5K...

Nice turnaround today, but still about 2K from my high water mark. I am hanging on to 950 shares SPY, but closed out most of my longs at the close. It seems whenever the FED hints at or takes new action, the market makes big moves like today on hints of QE3. I need to be less aggressive on...

Hi Mike and everyone else curious of my performance. From the equity high of $92,316, I am down 7.3% at $85,600. Yes, the strategy jettisoned most all of my positions last week and earlier this week for substantial losses. Current unrealized losses are $586. I took an 800 share discretionary...

I am leveraging up my positions in anticipation of the market rallying around the Facebook IPO tour in the near future. In addition, while the Eurozone crisis has weighed on the markets, the market seems to be rallying back from any selloffs. This to me is bullish where the market buys after...

Individual trades are comparatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things. A winning trade is just another notch in the handle. Losing trades go in the waste bin.
