INCREDIBLE day.... over 1500 in profit Es: -$188 NQ: +$181 ER2: +1,780 YM: -$114 Things look to still be on track. Very tempted to drop the NQ and YM from these tests and stick with just ES and ER2 as they seem to be the best... but since its a demo account minus well keep running them...

more good results today, I did not start the 1 contract of ES live in my real money account as I had planned, intead I just used it as an advisory service, basically had it popup alert when to enter and then through discretion decided if I wanted to take the trade, I only took 1 of the trades...

spdracer22, Es, nq, ym, and er2 are futures contracts. You may have heard of them as the e-mini's before. Es is a futures contract that tracks the S&P. NQ tracks the nasdaq 100 index. YM tracks the dow. and Er2 tracks the russel 2k index.

spdracer, Its home brewed software. The backtesting engine as well as the real time trading engine was all programmed by me, and is implemented using interactive brokers api.

jimmy, Thanks for your interest in this thread. 4re's S/R journal is one that I have been following everyday. He is doing some very good stuff over there. Fear and undercapitalization is what stops me from fully implementing my system. I do not have a bankroll sufficiently large to run my...

Todays results: System did not hit +700 until end of day, p/l at 10:00 cst was only $220, but finished the day up over 1k NQ; $76 ES: $176 ER2: $916.40 YM: -24.82

I am trying to find several different ETF's to invest in to spread out my risk and exposure. The only problem i'm finding is that all the ETF's i'm looking at, everything from DIA to KF "korean fund" to CH "chile fund" to EF "european fund"... All of these funds with little to no equity in the...

This market is eating my system up.. at least it still performs well early in teh day... that is at least some positive to look forward to: NQ -$304 ER2 -$474 YM -$168 ES -$31

myminitrading, Do you think we will have a strong finish today? I'm just hoping we dont get one of those last 30 minute sell offs

myminingtrading, Is that a 10 minute chart? The red MA looks a lot like a 50 period sma. What sort of MA's are those other 2? They seem to behaving rather strangely.

Like clock work its only 10:30 CST and P/L is now -$82

myminitrading, Have you discovered any leading indicators that help you with the YM? Tick/trin, a specific dow componet that leads, or even anythign as simple as a set of moving averages that help you to identify the trend easily in the YM?

At 10:00 CST current P/L is: $547.50

myminitrading, You are having one hell of a run lately. Have you always had such a high winning %, or has something recently clicked for you that is helping to produce these great returns? Is your method mechanical or mostly discretionairy?

In an effort to try and better understand when the plug should be pulled on this system I am going to document through here everyday as soon as the system hits : #1 $700 in profit #2 P/L at 11:00 #3 P/L at end of day Current 9:00 CST and P/L has just hit $780

alanm, My whole reason for wanting to take the profits at a preset level is simply because it appears my system performs very well early, above its expectations. Then by midday when the market quites down it ends up giving back most of its gains.. and then depending on if it catches the end...
