+241 today +1558 for week. Royally messed up at the open, moved the stop on 2nd entry try, down 3 pts right off the bat. Lesson: Take the stop, if the market didn't respect the support I picked, I'll be able to find another entry.

+132 in ES Cable modem down for morning. I'd have caught the bottom for sure ;) Then in pm, a perfect entry (1 tick heat), price went straight up 8 pts, but I bailed with +1. ES contract switchover day: I traded off the June contract chart, but entered on the DOM in the March contract...

+452 on ES. Another timid day -- I tend to cancel orders and bail with just a tick or two profit after making a few trades.

+390 all in ES. I overtraded today (took a lot of weak setups) and consequently took small targets. Markets making new highs are difficult for me. I'm more comfortable when the price action is inside recent pivots. MTD stats attached.

Hey, please let me know when you can predict the day in advance :) Have you gone back and simulated using your actual trades on the chart and seen the result of other management strategies? For example, go back a couple of weeks and see what would have happened if you peel 4 cars at 1...

+339 in ES Tough micro-range day -- opening 60 minute range was 3.5 es. Was hoping for a nice breakout of the pre-opening triangle. Lucky to get out green.

-100 ES Terrible trading, hubris attack. Coming off of 9 days green, yesterday I'd made all 5 trades. Can you spell ego?? Today's first 5 trades were out of control. Then after hesitating on the first good signal of the day, I entered late just above the LOD and made a +4. That almost...

+389 Trading ES only. I got spoofed out just now at 10:43 ET -- perfect long at 1116, but there was a 5k ask a few ticks up, and I was thinking, "there's no way that makes sense!", then it disappeared and price moved up smartly.... (divide number of trades by 3; TradeStation counts each...

+430 Couldn't resist one more trade at end of day :)

+280 (I only trade es) 5 out of 6. But ... like nodoji, I have an amazing ability to cut winners short.

+197 Not exactly stellar trading, but green. Divide the #Trades by 3 -- I use bracket orders w/multiple targets and Tradestation counts each target as a trade.

After following this thread for awhile, this is my first post. Just shy of +200. 4 out of 6 trades were green. Read the charts pretty well today, but embarrasing trading. Here are the gory details:

Sorry if I was unclear; I was just making the point that traders can be consistent, not to brag about my compounded rate of return or to compare accounts. I showed a record of 80 daytrades, a mix of long and short, 50% wins, 8 out of 10 days in the green, and 13% return in a 2 week...

I guess it depends on your definition of Holy Grail :). One can be consistently positive trading. I have acquaintances who put me to shame, so I don't consider myself to be much of an authority on trading, but I've gotten to be a decent price reader. I don't think my current style would...
