Swift Calgary has a posting on monster for trainees. It says they trade the Amex and CME Exchanges. Does anyone have any idea what instruments they trade on those exchanges?

I traded in a room full of younger traders... So much excitement when things were going their way, and so much anger when they weren't. I saw a guy snap his keyboard in half after losing his whole winning month in the last half hour of a day.

I will post my results for the last couple day's and some screen shots this weekend. I had a nast -$600/day. So it's time to go back to demo trading for a while until I can be sure of my edge. I will post what I did wrong, etc. I have a session with my trading coach tonight - Should...

You will probably do much better than me, I'm still working out my whole plan and practicing with live experience. I just started as well. I will be checking in for sure. Good trading

I haven't updated my tracker for a couple days. Been putting it off. Anyway, today was interesting. I'm down 15 points overall, but it was interesting because my entry signals really proved themself but I didn't do a very good job of making good use of them. That's why I believe that...

A few really good signals, some not so good, but it appears all of them would have allowed me to get to BE with my exit/management rules. Where I got long and where my exit was. Before that was two short probes, both lost 10 points each, so I only ended the day with +20 points, not bad...

It looks like I definatly have some things to work on. Also Van suggested I suspend trading until i go through volumes 4 and 5 of Peak Performance course, which I have. I will hit those hard. I am looking forward to more focus and direction in regards to mastering myself as a trader...

I got long @ 58 before the breakout on the YM following the 8am news release. OF course before that I was probing for a short so a nice 40 point move put me at +20 for the day. Attached is the chart. As you can see from the footprint profiles, volume was skewed to the top as the...

I have no clue how to mechanize my entry strategies. I basically just look for 2+ thing to line up that give me around a 50% chance of reaching my exits. Perhaps I should mechanize my management/exit rules which would eliminate the mistake of getting out too early. I know how to do that. I...

Discretionary

I agree, I think I am placing more emphasis on my entries at this point, less on my exits / management. I traded on the SIM for about a month before going LIVE. I think I attached the SIM results in a previous post which were enough for me to go LIVE. Attached again here. I...

Just a couple points from the high. I had a whole thing written up about it but the file was too big and all was erased. This is the one I took only 10 points profit (1-1 Risk/reward),. Weak I say!! Cut losses short, let profits run.... Not cut losses short and profits short. That will...

Probing at this level, This one did get stopped out a couple points from the high. *nuts*. But the next screen will show where I got short again. just a few pt's from the high. That means jack sh*t if I can't stay in the position. Exit's baby.... Exit's.

It was a fun day. I Did call the day's top within a few points and was actually short at 9569 For some strange f'd up reason I only took 10 points profit... Cutting my profits short. I think I was scared that it would test the high again and stop me out. It went all the way down to 9500 and...

Sorry, I forgot to attach the tracker.

Notice the Risk/Reward distribution chart on the 2nd tab, equity curve is down slightly as well. Nothing erratic though so that's good. Also no losses greater than my stop loss, or 1R, R being short for risk. This is good. A couple things I have been reminded of today: Trade in...

"watch out for the 8am announcement" I forgot about it while trading... classic blunder. I woke up 45 min's later than I wanted, I did go for a run with the dog, had a nice breakfast etc, was at the screen about 7:15 MST. My wife was in agony all morning with a massive tooth ache, so...

I plan to be up around 5:30 AM MST. Be ready at the computer shortly after 6AM. By the looks of things I think we are due for a down or choppy sideways day. TRIX is heavily divergent on the 15 minute chart. Market profile has hammered out the highs and very thin volume on the last few...

I am happy with my small losses and looking forward to tomorrow when I can give my full attention to the process. Attached are my demo account results. As one can see these types of days are normal. When I am having a good day I often "kill it". It's important to leverage the good days while...

I know someone will eventually say that by posting my strategies it could hinder my results. I disagree at this point because: 1. My size is so small I can get in and out with no problems 2. This is my Holy grail, and probably not anyone elses, take what you want from it but everyone has...
