No blotter on Friday because I left early but it was another top 5 day for me making +$2,557 net. Today was also not far off again – I netted $2,046 I’m really happy with the way the end of this month has gone. 2/3 of the way through June, I was getting a bit worried to be honest...

I totally agree with lindq (who, btw, it a much more experienced and successful trader than I). I have already shown you the stats to one of my systems, which is now my 'favourite' due to its consistency. I have another system which is more of a swing style. The risk:reward is truely...

Thanks TheRocketeer, 5001 and Nordik. Feeling the love and feels good to be part of the community on this thread. There are some real inspirational posters on this board. Pleased to say that today was my best day ever: +$3,441 net. :D Not doing anything special / different - strat just...

Think you need to chill out a bit - you seem to be throwing facts around when they are really your opinions. To be fair, I actually do agree with your basic points. However, scaling out can have benefits on occassion, esp given maximising profit is not your only goal (well, it's not mine...

Decent day +$1255 net

One of my better days net, with a record day for volume. +$1,850 net

The middle part of this month has been really, really slow. Yesterday was b/e and today another tiny total on tiny volume. Opportunities for my strat have dried up. Hope expiry tomorrow brings some more (profitable) opportunities.
