Terrible trading week (down 3k9). On Thursday I was ready to throw up after the market kept going up and volatility got sucked out. I mean really, WTF???? Is the future that fucking great that we have a 20% stock market move without any pullback in a couple month and a VIX @ 18; so nobody is...

Congrats !!!! very nice continuation of last week !!

Decent trading week (up 2k9). Blew up my poker account (again). Sucks cause I had a nice run but played too big @ the end. Won't play for a while since I was playing way too much the last month anyway. As far as my trading goes, I had a stress free week, no major down days and nice...

Awesome week !!!! Congrats neke

Decent trading week (up 2k6). I was on the road all week so I didn't do too much checking but S2 missed a big mover today in RVBD. I'm not sure why it didn't get filled but I'll have to do some research this weekend; would have been a great position. Other than that everything worked fine...

Had another down week (Down 1k7). However I finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. I'm not sure if that is because I didn't follow the market action the last couple of days or it's because today was actually a good trading day (up over 1k3 today, otherwise this week would have been...

syswiz, couple of comments. 1st I appreciate your input. While this blog is mostly for me, you're pretty much the only one providing other idea, so like I said, your input is highly appreciated. 2nd. I'm all ears for ideas ;-). The problem is my systems are mostly mid/long term, usually...

This is going to be a terrible trading week. Last two days have been slightly down but today has been down more than 3 grand. I suffer as the market goes up and my systems want it to go down. Needless to say I'm way behind the S&P as well. I'm not even looking at stocks, just gambling @ the...

Devastating trading week (down 2k6). So much for a slightly sideways or down week that I was hoping for last week. I felt like a genius on Monday and since then lost every single day. (daily stats Mon: 1889 Tue:-3447 Wed:-184 Thur: -166 Fri:-729 ) I can't even beat the S&P 500 when it goes up...

So yesterday I felt super smart and my trading account slowly climbed to a new high while the S&P sucked. Today it <>#@M$$ crashed and had the worst performance since the flash crash, down over 3k4. Just when you think you've it somewhat figured out and some smooth sailing in front of you the...

attached is an updated correlation performance picture of my trading account and the S&P 500 performance. This reflects 83 trading data points (83 trading days) since I started the journal. My performance is in blue, red is the S&P 500 performance and yellow is the risk free checking account...

Thx sys, I was happy with the week as well ;). As far as travel goes, I've been doing this for slightly over 10 years now, and it sounds more fun than it actually is. I flew over 160k miles last year (with all the double miles and perks I booked over 400k miles). This year will be around...

nice job !!

Decent trading week (up 3k1). Barely watched my systems as I was about to throw up every time I saw the S&P 500 up. I'm still quite short, so me being short and the S&P long make for a dangerous next week. Other than that I liked the week working from home, I'll be hitting the road next week...

In order to get more consistency @ the poker tables (I know this has nothing to do with trading ;-) I've created a thread on a poker forum. Results of a Wanna B heads up player. http://www.pokerjunkie.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=15263 Keeping my focus in trading always seemed a little easier...

you're right. Thx for putting it into perspective ;) I'm still ahead of the risk free checking account performance ;)

Another bad trading week (down 1k1). Had a decent week @ work (Texas) and will be home next week which is good. Other than that I'm looking forward to a relaxing fall weekend @ home cause MY TRADING SIMPLY SUCKED. Not a lot to comment here other than my systems are for sure not in sync...

Got a view poker questions ;-). What was the problem in increasing the profits? Did you step up the limit and the edge wasn't there? Was the variance too much? Anyway, the good news in trading is that the competition doesn't get much better as the limits increase ;-) or if you look at it...

Impressive or lucky either one works ;) I knew this winning week after winning week was coming to an end at some point in time but it sure felt good ;)

Terrible trading week (Down 1k8). Maybe I do better when I'm on the road and don't watch the silly quote screen all day long. This week killed my 10 week winning streak and eliminated several winning weeks in a couple days. Monday's and Wednesday's rally cost me (Strategy S10) a fortune, so that...
