Tomahawk, Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm now find myself losing as much as I'm making. I need to change my strategy. Cheers

I totally agree. I'm going post my trades for today. Let me know what you guys think

Hi Chuck Thanks for responding. I always get a little confused with its mentioned how much to trade per contract. At the moment, whenever I enter a trade with the mini-dow I always enter with two contracts. I base that amount on how much I would like to make and how much I willing to...

Traderm Thanks for responding. I'm going to quote you something from John F. Carter, the author of the book, Mastering the Trade, Proven Tactics ...... Also, I would also like to touch upon not letting your winners turn into losers - this is big problem of mine.... I will update...

I hear what you're saying, but the ES is notoriously hard to trade.

Hi Oracle, Thanks for responding. This is my biggest problem right now. I often find myself in profitable positions but they end turning into losers. But I'm working on it. Cheers mate

Hi Trendo It's a real account.

ChkitOut, I really appreciate that you're trying to protect newbies (like myself) from people that make wild statements and get us newbs thinking we can inherit the world. But I never started this thread to discuss how much money I make or to prove myself. You asked me. I genuinely was...

marceck Thanks for your comments. I will admit, I was unaware of Program Trading and what it entails until some of you guys mentioned - you learn something new everyday.

Oh I just realised I could just copy and paste the data straight from my TWS trade log into the thread and it organises for you, you just need to space out the individual trades - I was spending time getting the spaces neat and tidy for you to read.....

And just in case you newbies (like me) think its impossible: SLD 2 YM JUN11 Futures 12466 USD ECBOT JUN 1 15:02:06 4.02 BOT 2 YM JUN11 Futures 12456 USD ECBOT JUN 1 15:20:06 4.02 SLD 2 YM JUN11 Futures 12437 USD ECBOT JUN 1 15:29:16 4.02 BOT 2 YM JUN11 Futures 12436 USD ECBOT JUN 1...

OK, I don't believe I'm letting myself get drawn into this debate as if I have to prove myself. I have copied and pasted some of the trades I made yesterday, if you do the math you will see that they total just over $500 (excluding the commission) I do the math for the trade that provided...

Pookie, As I said, I probably confused readers with the way expressed what I meant by making $500 -$700 per day. OK, on a typical day I might lose say $200, and make $700, leaving me with a profit of $500. Yesterday I lost just over $30, but made just under $800. I have been asked...

Chkitout, Don't get me wrong, there have been days when I've been down over $1000 before lunchtime and I have managed to claw my way back up from being down over $1000 to to just being down just over $300. Therefore, you could quite rightly say I didn't make $500 - $700 on that particular...

Hi chkitout I would certainly agree that making 700 per day consistently is very difficult on two contracts, but I do. All I do all day long is scalp. I have a system that I have studied and made my own and I simply watch the 30 stocks that make up the Dow. I only trade when a certain...

Yes 500 - 700 a day. Yesterday I made $760.

I always trade two mini-dow contracts

I haven't come across Program Selling, and I can't say I'm familiar with Aribtrage. However, I will pay close attention to ARMS (Trin)

Hello Gents, Thanks to all for your comments. I've read and re-read your comments and I think Siuya has the key "Adapt, learn adapt" is the key. Before this event I thought I was invincible, I was making between $500 - $700 per day and I thought it would never end. Yesterday, was rough...
