Way to go Neke! That makes it three "decent" (hahaha, just kidding) weeks in a row averaging about 10% per week compounded. Keep it up! Sorry to hear about your troubles with the automated strategies. You leave them alone, they hurt you. You override them and that's the time when you...

"Pleased to have a third week of decent performance" Yeah, I would say that almost 10% (in a week, mind you, not in a year) would account as "decent performance" :D Hahahaha!!! Way to go Neke!!! Best (I mean... "decent") trading to you! Jorge

Sounds sensible and promising. Good luck next week - and thank you for sharing. Jorge

Neke, way to go! I really hope you post many times more "In some way it was a disappointing week" :D Yeah, only 10% on a week, life is that cruel sometimes :p How do you forward/backtest your automated strategies before trading them with money? Easy on yourself, man, you're doing...

Congrats Neke, way to go! As some of us have said, your bad weeks are just small bumps on the road. Have you considered paper trading your automated strategies for a while till you can fine tune them, debug them, and so on? Also, do you have a daily, weekly, etc. loss limit after which...

Hi, sorry for the newbie question, but 1 handle = 1 ES point? If not, what is a handle? (I know, I know) Jorge

Neke, Sorry about your loss, I'm confident that looking back it will be just a bump in the road. Regarding "feeling robbed" and "no more stop-losses", I hope you calm down over the weekend and recover your perspective. Remember that the market doesn't know - or care - you have a...

Krolyk, Some people, including myself, have suggested that you take a break (1 week or whatever suits you), this is not so that we can make money in the markets while you're away. This is so that you calm down yourself. Otherwise you will continue to do revenge trading (with the usual...

Krolyk, Sorry about your loss. Nobody wanted you to lose, even though some people thought eventually you would. It doesn't matter what people told you. It doesn't matter what you told yourself. It doesn't matter what the market did. It doesn't even matter what you did. The...

Hi Krolyk, Better to seem ignorant (maybe to other people, certainly not to me) for 5 seconds than to remain ignorant a lifetime. MAE stands for Maximum Adverse Excursion. MFE stands for Maximum Favorable Excursion. Also, ETD stands for End of Trade Drawdown. MAE shows you how far the...

Krolyk, Congratulations again, man you're doing really great. Is this already 8 profitable days in a row? Wow! You mentioned that you use Ninja Trader. Are you familiarized with the Performance Tab? You may want to check on your MAE and MFE to see how you can improve your net results...

Krolyk, Congrats man, you're doing just great. 600 a day really adds up over time. Just one question, how much are you paying in commissions? Best trading to you, Jorge

Krolyk, Those 1900 are the easiest money you've ever made. The hard part was watching your equity decrease by the thousands. The way I see it first you dig a hole for yourself and then you (incredibly so far) dig yourself out of it every time (again so far). 6 days is probably not...

Krolyk, Let's go over it one more time: Day 1: down 1,300; end of day profit 45 Day 3: down 2,200; end of day profit 305 Day 5: down 2,900; end of day profit 24 I'm glad the market spared your butt all three times (and considering that you're trading up to ***274*** contracts in a...

Krolik, In the first place congratulations for your early successes. I'm a newbie as well and started trading the day before you (first week great, second week crap). I'm with IB and Ninja as well. I'm definitely not in a position to give you any advice, but I'd like to share, from...

Thank you, SlickCharts, you rock! :)

Neke, it's been a really weird week, things could have gone either way no matter what. I'm positive that in a couple of months this week will be just a blip in your performance. All the best trading, Jorge

Just add another video card with a dual output, you can later scale to 4 monitors if you want to. And yes, I would stick to Nvidia Good trading Jorge

best of luck to you Neke, you deserve it if just for having the balls to regularly post your P&L. All the best, :) Jorge
