    Week 44 Summary (11/01/2010 – 11/05/11/2010) Made 284 USD (number from Ninja is a little off, because I had commission 3.6 USD instead 4 USD InteractiveBrokers is charging me). My plan is to make profit of about 250 USD / week (1000 USD / contract / month) so this number is actually OK...

    2011/11/5 Another very difficult and low volatility trading day. Moreover with a big trading mistake I did via impulsive trade that cost me full stop-loss What was really confusing for me that all the indexes were really out of sync today. Emini Russell 2000 was actually the strongest one...

    Hello tstones, Welcome on board of my journal. I would be to scary to enter the trade inside of the craziness after FED :) If I trade there, I am sure my P/L would be much worse..

    2010/11/4 Market opened with major gap up. I felt this will be one of the days where they will try to push it higher. I remember days not too long ago where I would try to short this all the day and would lost a lot of money. This time, I was buying. I was buying the whole morning. Made 7...

    2010/11/02 Trade 1. Stupid, inpatient trade. I was watching 706 level as a S/R and waiting for break down. Well I was not patient enough and enter the trade before the breakout. And of course – I got some heat, panic and closed the trade just before the breakout. I was not OK with the trade...

    2010/11/1 Didn’t want to trade too much today due to the FED coming on Wednesday and because I was not sure if there is bank holiday in Europe or not (I saw there is a bank holiday in France). Thus I was assuming low volatility day. Trade 1 - How every, I tried to short the market about...

    2010/10/29 Trade 1 – I was trying to buy overall weakness of TF. The low of the first pullback on TF was generally much deeper than the same pullback on other indexes. Entry on breakout of weak S/R resistance. I basically tried to shoot for some move before the markets will die again. The...

    2010/10/28 Only one trade today. As I feel very tired by the end of this week, I will take the afternoon off live trading. Markets had generally nice down direction but on such a low volume. When I look back on printed charts they look generally nice, but in realtime, it was pain to watch...

    Trading 2010/10/26 Trade 1: Anticipating breakout of weak S/R to the upside. Market was trying to fill the gap. I was targeting pivot point at 709.2. Market loss momentum. Exited with 0,5 point. Trade 2: Wrong assuming that market will break the S/R line. I got too exited by the red hummer...
