It is 1 trick to manage returns of between 18% and 90% annually over a long period of time. Not paying taxes on the gains is another 1. Not getting caught is yet another 1.

What other categories are there (other than technical patterns)? Very interesting thread. Gabe

Cumulative and average 5 day (1 week) results. The average is almost back to where I was before the big drops. The average after the big drops is lower than before probably because I trade 1 and 2 contracts whereas before the drops I traded 2 and 4 contracts.

Only 1 trade today.

Back to 0 (took 2 months)

Because that is what I think is the right approach to maximize profits.

I should have trailed the 2nd contract just above the high of the previous 5 min bar.

Just 1 trade today. Got out too soon (chickened out).

Almost there.

Only 2 nibbles today.

Almost back to breakeven.

Not a great day but in the right direction.

Still in recovery mode.

What kind of an engineer are you?

Can you post an equity chart (from time to time) that takes commissions into account. The Y axis could be blank if you don't feel comfortable with showing numbers. Thanks. Gabe

A good day profitwise but bad with respect to following the plan and the rules. I have to check and see whether the good run that I had in December was due to luck or an edge.

Only 3 trades today.

Not bad for a low volume day.

Back to normal mindset today.

Still on track for recovery.
