adding again here at 1029.5. Stop still at 1020 for now. *gulp* lol

against my style, but i need to make some money, lol. Small long here at 1035.25. Stop at about 1020. I just want to make about 4 points and then be done for today.

Big rally tomorrow for T-day I imagine.

where the hell are we going? lol 1500 ish? Don't know how you can keep going long on every pullback. My newbie instincts keep telling me that we are due a retracement. haha Feels as though im missing out on what seems like such easy money that you keep making, but i cant pull the trigger for a...

well done to the perma bulls of the thread. You know who you are!

plese ignore the haters balckjack666. Im a fan of your style. good luck

This appears to be true (unfortunately!!)

forget to mention that call this morning. Great call!!

excellent 'theproptrader'. Its my dream to join you guys one day, just gotta wait for the PDT rule to be abolished!! lol. Doing lots better on my demo trading of stocks than i am on the ES.

It always sounds so obvious when you've had a bad day and then everyone chimes in with how you need to 'follow the trend'. I guess it also depends on the characteristics of the instument that you are trading. I know a few good ES traders who are constantly fading the intraday trends and do very...

why not? Whats wrong with that? How do 'real' traders trade then? much more trades/less trades? More points? p.s - im not trying to be confrontational. I am indeed a learner trader always looking to learn and not sure what to make from your post thanks

nevermind, think i worked it out. Typical commissions are about 0.006 cent per share? if so, it would only be about $110 in commissions so a winning day still if so. edit: thx, occam.

would this be a winning day, considering commissions? how much would commissions generally be when trading 400 shares in and 400 shares out? im playing with the demo 'instaquote' (i love it by the way) software this week, but today it says my commissions would be $880 for todays trading!? that...

-2 today. 6 trades. No point in posting my blotter as i was experimenting with random trades earlier in the day to see if my ninjatrader commission actually affects the pnl and it turns out it does, so it look like ive been paying 2x comission on every trade since i started the journal. So...

still looking to buy there?

ok, this is quite encouraging. It appears that ive been paying my commssions twice! I just changed them from $5 to $100 per roundtrip to check, and placed a random market order and clsoed it straight away at the market again, and my current pnl is -$214! This means commissions have been working...

interesting. This is quite embarrasing, although at least my journal is called 'ES learner' but here in Europe, alot of traders generally trade through 'bucket shops' called 'spreadbet' firms - so there are no 'limit orders' and 'market orders', and ill be honest, im not entriely sure how this...

so 2.25 points. 8 trades. We'll say +$60? gives so far this week: mon - +$180 Tue - +$150 Wed - $+175 Thur - $+60

hmmm.....winning day again (just!) so shold be happy with that, but i managed my winning trades poorly. Notably a long at about the bottom of the market where i took, i think, 1.5 points from a move that ended up being like 20 points!! Dont know why i didn;t have faith in the crazy bulls...
