Alright so despite all of the crazy moves inthe EURUSD this afternoon, beleive if or not there were no signals generated to buy or sell and furthermore my prog did not malfunction and generate phantom orders, so I am allowing myself to feel a little succesful that perhaps yesterday's problems...

Last night was a complete disaster as we were uploading revised versions of the program and glitches led to losses of more than $400. What was quite phenomenal was that the range was less than 100 pips. The program kept randomly reversing positions in the consolidation due to a piece of code...

Blotter

My system is still in full fledged drawdown mode but its within is parameters for acceptable losses so I am staying the course. I am aiding it a little bit to try to minimize the damage to from bad stop outs: Last nights' trades: Stopped on out on short @ 1.5786 @ 12:05 AM: -30 PIPS...

Sorry I havent updated for the past few days. From Thursday night through Fri I had 2 stop outs for -30 pips each: Net pips: -60 Acct: 3030 Week 6 Change: -7.3 % Tough week, at best if I caught last Sunday's trade I would have been even but overall this was a typicall drawdown period.

Last night's trades: One more stop out ona short: -30 pips Long was closed out for +51 pips Net closed pips: +21 Currently short, +17 pips, hoping this trade makes my week. Overall I am really happy with the past few weeks of profit. If I dont screw up and miss any trades I think my...

I was debating keeping the prog onthrough the FOMC announcement. Hoped I wouldnt get stopped out by sharp moves but I wasnt so lucky. I had two stop outs for 60 pips. Not much else to comment.

As for your trading I am getting some red flags. I want to go through it point by point. 1) You are misusing the Bollinger Bands. bollinger bands basically show you when the price has moved excessively fast away from the mean (that middle line you couldnt see). When the price is past the...

There are a couple of things that I can see. First your winners are 13 and 15 cents. Your loser was 19 cents. I think your winners need to be at least 2x your losers and preferably even more. The other thing is you arent trading constant size on all of your trades. If you traded 1000 shares...

I just wanted to post some of my latest signals on 30 min. The last 5 signals were pure beauty. Sadly I missed out on about 130 pips for not catching the last big short and messing up the last long a bit.

Made +13 pips last night in total. Fighting back slowly but surely.

I turned on the program last night and caught some of the move up after an erroneous stop out. I was prob up 60 pips net the stop out but now the EUR is falling and I can only watch. Unlike last time however, the prog is on and will take the profit but if exited manually I would have gotten out...

I missed the short trade last night because I didnt turn on my program in time (I coulndnt since I wasnt home) That would have been yet another 120 pip trade. Absolutely sick trends for my system. However, I think that 3-4 great trades in a row are what you usually get before a drawdawn occurs...

Here is the blotter as promised. In total I was able to clear over 200 pips in 3 trades on EURUSD which I really needed. I am excited about next week as I think there may be more decent moves. When I look back I am impressed by my prog trades (+400 pips) and I will try hard not to screw it up in...

I never lost $2000 in one day. I have had $2000 dollar swings in PnL tho over a week. That means that maybe I went from -500 to +1500 in a few trades. Its not a big deal because that is mostly in the past as I tried things that lets just say didnt quite work out. I actually do not think that...

Sorry for not posting I have been busy. Not that there is much to post. this week EURUSD was basically in consolidation mode meaning no trends and nothing but stop outs. after Mondday's trading I incurred about 3 30 pip stop outs and a -16 pip reversal on a trade for a -106 pip total Last...

I am sortof in a similar boat but I just started adding small positions at these levels. Yesterday I bought some 200 shares in UYG Ultra Financials ETF and I also bought some 2010 calls in the XLF. I acknowledge I am buying a falling knife but Its about 25% of the full position I want to have...

Here i stoday's blotter: I Closed +28 pips on EURUSD and I am currently short and in the black. So Here is my Summery for the past few weeks returns: Week 1: 0% Week 2: 3.5% Week 3: -10.2% Week 4: .7% Total (to today)= -4.5% or about $145 I had a gain of about 15% on Thurs of...

Sorry I have been away from my computer all weekend. Turned on the ATS last night again, 2 trades on EURUSD, -30 pips and +58 or so. I will post when I get home. However, I have some bad news, my account may be shut down because of the stupid SEC and compliance regulations over...

Its not just for me, I have some friends keeping tabs on my trading. As for monthly goals I still think they are doable, obviously not this month tho, but I have done it before and I can do it again. The thing is not so much that I am not focused, its that I like trying new things and...
