Me: +1035 Systems: -1492 EOD: -457 My market feel is back. I have returned to focus and discipline in my discretionary trades. It's amazing how a lapse of discipline can throw the balance for subsequent days when using discretionary methods. Despite the - P/L and the likelihood of a -...

- 718 DD continues.

-2765 There's the good, the bad and the ugly. Feeling pretty ugly today! I'm looking forward to tomorrow since successive bad days have eventually given way to very good days and sometimes weeks... I could use a winner for the psychological boost too. It feels pretty lame to be...

-1906 First day back in 1 week. Was out of synch, traded very poorly and impulsively... Most of the loss was form an AM trade that did not conform to anything other than BS, unfounded, edgeless expectations! The "Poor first day back" is a reoccurring theme with my discretionary...

+332 Sloppy trading. I fumbled on entry and exit. Also, premature exits. It's Friday and I'm feeling risk averse. The systems will dictate the EOD. I didn't create enough padding to ensure a + EOD if all the systems are losers today.

Echo, Thanks for the kind words. BTW, I haven't looked at all the older posts but from here it seems like you are very consistent. I think seeing consistency really helps everyone stay focused and disciplined. Reason being consistency stems from focus and discipline IMHO. Good work.

+1958 EOD Systems kicked in nicely this afternoon. surprise, surprise... I didn't expect them to be profitable at this week. I guess this illustrates my earlier comment about the cost of skipping trades even when you think it won't work out.

+422 Nothing special. Glad to have a +. It's up to the systems for the rest of the day. I have low expectations due to the recent conditions. Unfortunately, skipping trades is worse than taking losses in the long run.

Consideration of fills has been very important in my work. If my expected edge is not 2-5 x greater than the cost of participation (slippage and commission) I won't trade it. Obviously that cost varies with each market and the size of the transactions. Also, the higher the frequency of...

-1426 obviously not too thrilled. That makes several days of tough trading (for me) in a row. All systems trades were losers today. On the bright side this is about as nasty as it gets (give or take 500).

- 541 not exactly a shellacking ... Still, I jumped the gun on what was a good setup and used slightly excessive size to boot! Without the lapse in discipline, it would have been a + day. At least these transgressions are fewer and further between and smaller too. Let's see if the...

+123 Systems gave back most of this mornings gains. I'm glad I incorporate the discretionay trading. It really smooths out the equity curve. I wonder how long until we geta nice juicy open to close trend day...

+ 890 so far so good. There were no system trades yesterday.

- 309 All and all I am surprised at the losses and also surprised at the character of the market... 1. I expected a more pronounced move down to close the gap. 2. I expected a strong move up on a failure /reversal and breakout through the opening range high. The (loosing) setups I...

EOD: +886 Today was weird... seemed difficult for me too. I scratched two good trades because they hesitated too long and I did not want to squander the little profit I had. Also, I missed a good signal (auto trading) on EMD. My chart did not load properly and so no entry... I...

+249 everything's fine. Actually, this is the type of day that usually robs me blind. I'm glad to have a profit. Trade screen shot + p/l attached

Nice work ECHO!

I've been posting screen captures of the "Trade Manager Analysis" window. It's available to TS brokerage clients. It performs most of the analytics available in the performance summary on actual results. You can specify the dates/ contracts to include in the summary. Obviously I blank out my...
