02/17/09: TOTAL P/L -27.17 1 win 2 losses Something I do everyday is go back and look at my trades and see if would still enter them now, i.e. are they good setups. All three trades today fit in my trading plan, the last trade was aggressive, but was still a minor higher low on the...

15:31 400 DXD EXIT 67.35 P/L-204.80

Buying the 5 min pullback in this base, I don't like the time of day, but I like the way the market is holding the gap from this morning and I will look for a selloff into close, if it doesn't reach target I will close near EOD.

11:25: FAZ 5 min chart is a setup that I like to go long here..FYI already in 1 trade during lunch(a time I don't like to trade) so not taking it

Bought the pullback on the 5 min chart. Gap up and holding, still buying pullbacks(on the short ETF's), bascally selling short rallies as long as we hold this initial move up, like we are right now. Is the input helpful??

10:57 500 DXD BUY 67.56 STOP 67.16 TGT 68.36

yes...67.59, but the loss is 218.42 still fruedian slip, wish it got to 68.59.:)

10:47 500 DXD EXIT 68.59 P/L -218.42

These are just intraday trades and the direction is lower(that my charts say), I am only looking for a .80 move, not an IRA holding. If I'm wrong I am only risking $200 and moving on to the next trade.

On the 5 min chart I am buying the small pullback at the 10:15 bar( I use candlestick charts) My bias is short today, weak market, gap down..so this is the first pullback to get short...(or buy DXD)

10:16 500 DXD BUY 68.00 STOP 68.60 TGT 68.80

02/17/09: Daily charts of SPY and DIA look short, and we are gapping down this a.m., so it will be hard to get into an early short. I may try to find a stock holding well to scalp long at the 1st reversal(on the 5 min charts), but for the most part I will be looking to get into an index...

Thanks pstallone, I just look for 4 select patterns on the 5 min charts intraday and scan the daily charts at night to give me a bias for the next day. Volume really does not factor in on my patterns. I'm a patterns trader. I post my trades here in real time when I actually enter them. I...

YEAR TO DATE: Wins: 29 Losses:25 B/E: 3 Win % : 54% Avg Win: 369.47 Avg Loss: 218.62 Ratio: 1.69

I'm not quite sure what you would like to see. Is it my win % ? If so, I can post that on a weekly or monthly basis too. As for the 1.8 to 1, I actually go for 2 to1 and with slippage here and there I make sure I get AT LEAST 1.8 to1 on avg. My trade % is usually over 50% (closer to 60%), so...
