    Trade 09/15 I did exit KW-C with my last lot at 228 on 09/13. All in all a small loss of $180 incl. commission. I entered LHG7 - LHZ6 yesterday with a pretty good fill at 0.80 on the close only with 3 contracts. I will try to add on 3 more contracts later. Risk per contract is...

    Andy's Day and Position Trading Journal

    Trade 09/15 Nice trade early this morning in the Euro FX. After the reports came out at 7:30 AM the market moved up and gave me a Ross Hook for a short trade, close to the lows of 09/08 and 09/11. It was almost "sure" they will try to go for the lows. Markets "love" to go for the highs and...

    Hi Fredrik, it is mainly because I want to keep myself from overtrading. When I try to go only for one winner I try to get the best trade and I am more focused. It just seems to work better for me to go for less trades. Have a good trading day, Andy

    Hi Hilo, well the internet connection is very good and very reliable. So far I haven't had any major problem in the last 2 years. There is a big problem regarding electricity but most apartments provide you electricity via generator or batteries. You should bring your own hardware because...

    Thank you Fredrik! There are a few filters: I try not to trade the first 5 - 10 minutes at the open. I (normally) trade only till 10:00 AM CST, and sometimes in the afternoon when the market gets active again (can not give you any precise time schedule for that, you have to watch the...

    Trade 09/12 afternoon Just did another skalp, long at 725.0 for 8 ticks. The markets slows down at around 10:00 am but wakes up around 1:00 pm again. Difficult to give a exact time when to watch for the afternoon trading. It's necessary to watch the market to see what is going on. You...

    Trade 09/09 I did enter LHV6 - LCV6 at -27 on 09/07. My idea was (or is) to scale into the trade at -27, -28 and -29. My stop will then be at -30. So far I got into the trade only with one lot. If the spread keeps on moving up I will try to add to my possition later...

    Trade 09/01 I got into my first trade a bit late today. Long the Dow at 11446. My stop was only 10 ticks, same as my first target, second target would have been 30 ticks. I took profit on the first lot because the market didn't want to move higher and it was already 10:00 AM. I got stopped...

    Trade 08/30 I did take profits on CD-AD at 14,7 on 08/25 and profits on SF-JY today at -4,44. I have 1 contract left in both. Sorry, I gave the wrong values for the entries. My chart software shows the wrong values and needs multipliers. I did enter KWZ6 - CZ6 yesterday at 233, risk...
