    Trader P/L 2006

    $1125 gross, but holding Euro over weekend so it may all end in tears.

    S/R Emini Journal

    Porgie, Kiss of death is when sup / res / "trendline" is penetrated and then the the price returns to "kiss" it from the other side, fails to break through, then continues in the initial direction. Basically support becomes resistance or vice versa. Test is a more prosaic word for it...

    Trader P/L 2006

    Continued with the Euro today and tacked on another $825 net (total includes the $587.50 from early this morning that I already posted). Typical of me to make life difficult with umpteen countertrend scalps instead of buy and holding after the 15:00 news like a sensible person would have done.

    Trader P/L 2006

    A distinguished blotter indeed ^ For what it's worth I managed to eke out another $500 from some Euro scalps, which at least brings me +ve for last two days.

    Trader P/L 2006

    Rough and embarrassing couple of days, leaving me almost flat after commission. Should have saved myself the bother of getting out of bed yesterday and simply flung $1650 out of my window instead. Had a good crack at cable today but messed up the post-FOMC mainly by trading too much size...

    Trader P/L 2006

    A few Kospi scalps before I go to bed. 250k won (net) = c £147 Not usually keen to post actual trades but my account blotter is messed up for some reason. :confused:

    Nor could I :) The Kospi took a couple of bites early this morning but I made it back with some cable scalps in the afternoon.

    Trader P/L 2006

    Caught a nice trend on cable today, but remove around $300 for commissions thanks to my overtrading like a buffoon afterwards.

    Best Car for Newly Hired Trader

    I don't mean to be rude, but why do you want a car that "fits the part"? Instead of worrying about fashion and what other people think, buy a car that fits your own criteria. It always amazes me how much money people will impulsively spend in the pursuit of impressing others when that money...

    Economics in a few sentences

    People respond to incentives. --- If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidise it.

    Trader P/L 2006

    I too will try and post consistently as anyone can have a reasonable day once in a while. Today was quite easy S/R stuff and I don't expect the rest of the week to be as kind. I'm posting mainly to try and break a pattern of +.+.+.---.+.+.+.+.--.+.++ etc. i.e. my discipline is apt to fail...

    Official DD thread - Big Dow

    They look pretty much the same ($ for $) to me, but I may be missing something? My broker charges 6094 / 4875 for DD 1219 / 975 for YM and YM is one fifth of the size of DD. So 5 YM cost the same as 1 DD, which both give $25 per tick.

    Official DD thread - Big Dow

    One trouble is JM that you can't scale in/out with just 1 or 2 lots of DD, like you can 5 or 10 lots of YM. If I get up to 20 and liquidity is good I'll switch, but for 10 YM lots the equivalent 2 DD just isn't flexible enough (for me anyway). Pity cause the reduced commission is a real draw.

    Mr. B’s trading journal

    It sounds like your boss is trying to get you to rack up as much commission as possible, regardless of whether the trades you take are in your best interests, but I may be wrong. Trading well does not necessarily mean often.

    Trader P/L 2006

    First post. I am a YM piker who needs to make $200 a day after costs. Off on holiday for 10 days then will try and post regularly, if only for the sake of my discipline which is a touch inconsistent at the moment. Inspired to up my game and not impose any self-limiting beliefs by some of...
