$41 net yesterday. It was a mostly inside day at the all time high. It felt very risky, especially right before a 3-day weekend with the corona virus reporting being inconsistent and alarming. I was less aggressive, earning 1.2% on the initial balance of the day. If I make $75 more, then I...

I just had a great conversation with a mentor of mine. Even though he is in his 70's, he still trades every day and loves it. He showed me his charts and I had a flood of great memories. He says trading keeps him sharp. It was so fun catching up. It also reminded me of how much I still...

We aim to please. Want some pizza and Coke? (I only said "realistic" because my daily average for 4 weeks now is 2.8%)

Thanks. Worked great.

I sent it in a private message, but you should still be able to edit it once you do File>Save As.

Why do you think I have failed? It has been 4 weeks today, and I should be at $3,400 by the end of the day. Once I get to $4,000 then I will have doubled the account. I should be at $4,000 by week 5.

Just for you and anyone else who wants it: https://1drv.ms/x/s!Ahmr2weqMXmsgtZkwkc6FVbYwrg7iw?e=QsYRts You will have to download it in order to edit it. Just put in the starting amount in D2 and put the daily net gain in column G. You will also need to copy certain cells into new rows as you...

Explain a bit more please? The max risk is $5000 on the funded eval.

Some of you know that I have been trying to pass a LeeLoo Funded Trader evaluation for several months now. I want this live account to make $2000 to $5000 per month. But first I have to pass the evaluation! It the biggest of ironies, with my AMP micro account (the one profiled in this...

Movin' on up! Thanks.

It has been a while since I posted it, so here is the updated table and chart:

Ended up good today with $84 net. 16 trades total = $5.25 average per trade = 10 ticks average. Again, I am trying to grow this slowly, consistently. I want to put on 2 or 3 E-minis and double my account in just a few days, but my rules forbid it. At $3,000, the rules now say "6 micros...

If there are gunning for 9664, then now is a great time to do it for sure - press that advantage! But because we are at the top of the channel, a pause would certainly be justified to build a new base. Personally, I think they want 10,000 NQ and won't stop until they get there by May. But...

"Break of 2" update. As the NQ went up even higher, I raised the two support levels. Now you can see that it has come back down through #1. And #2 is currently holding up. Once ("if") #2 breaks, then I will be looking for a bounce to get short. I try not to chase trades. But the market...

The NQ is on fire to the upside today. I used to love to try to pick tops and fade moves to the upside by shorting the very top. But I have finally gotten a bit smarter. Because the "top" is often NOT the top, and I get creamed. If I think the market is overbought, that is fine. But I now...

Adv/Dec and Up/Dn vol Both have the green above the red = bullish still this morning, however the blue line is the plot of the relative NET difference (not related to the chart axis) and on both it is going down. This is very useful information. It gets me thinking "reversal coming soon."...

3 good MNQ trades this morning: The third one missed the stop by one tick. Trade rationale: Stalling in the overall market. 250 SMA rolling over.

Great question. Let me reevaluate this right now. With $500 allocated per contract, then a $20 stop per micro is indeed 4% risk per position per allocated capital. But on the whole balance, each position has a loss potential of 1% of the account. I am now in the $3000 range and am trading up...

Here is my "Internals" setup. On Multicharts: (top row) NYSE Tick, NQ 5 min candle, NQ 5 point HA candle with multi-timeframe fib indicator, (bottom row) Nastic, Adv/Dec, and Up/Dn Vol. On Investor.com: 4 of the 5 FAANG stocks with 1 min setting and 50 sma. VIX and US dollar both on 1...

Had a couple good MES shorts. Almost back to B/E (breakeven) on the MES. Trade #1 was the early morning failure posted previously Trade #2 came after a big drop, so I knew there were some sellers up in the 3376 area. Trade #3 was risky, but both MA's were red when I took it.
