Got a partial fill for 4 lots instead of 5 on my last trade... 7 winners, 1 loser... should be... 6 winners, 1 loser because the last 1 lot trade was part of another trade... I'm up +$500... This is an example of a day where things go your way pretty well...

:) Thanks Michael... That's what it's all about... grinding it out... day in, day out... It's work and you have to treat it with respect... Because if you don't... It will blow up in your face.

UPDATE: 3 winners 1 loser +$212.50... I'm going to trade more today... Even if it blows up in my face...! :eek:

Unfortunately you think that you're smater than the market... Let's see you play... Yeah... Princenton Newport Partners did blow up... No such thing as a "quantitative" edge over a negative sum game... you can have a physical edge through technology but that's about it...

Money locked up for a year...? Most bullshit rule I've ever seen...!

...LOL... Paul Tudor Jones one of my favorites... But I wouldn't trust much of what he says... Besides being a master at trading he's also a master at lying...!:p

I think you're saying that we went into backwardation because of the sell off... But really, what's the story behind the sell off...? I'm checking my news sources and they're not really talking...:confused: Rumours...

Claude Shannon knew his technology stocks... He bought and never sold... I'm not doing that here... This is day trading, long term investing concepts don't apply. Nevertheless... For every Shannon and Thorpe there are countless others who failed at investing. AND they had good plans...

People have been on my case about trading without a plan... So let me reply to that... There is a huge difference between objective probability and subjective probability the market is definitely in the subjective probability category. For those who do use plans I suggest Fooled by...

Thank you for the kind words... But to be honest I haven't done anything impressive yet...! I'm still wondering... Can I still play the game this way or not...? I can get net positive allright but I doubt that I'll be able to beat the Combine with 6 days left...

STRONG HANDS - trading with other people's money... WEAK HANDS - trading with your own money... What happens when strong hands stop out...? They become unemployed dumb hands!

Oh man...!!! Why didn't I think of that...!????? "DON'T lose money...!" BRILLIANT!!!:p

Why $500...? Seems a little arbitrary...

What happens if you're up only $100 and that's top % for the day then you drop to $50 or -50%..., do you continue trading or shut off for the day...?

...and the trades... Comments...? Suggestions...? Overall, I think I traded well... managed the losses well and I held on to the ES winner well. Unfortunately I took too many losses to make it to the +$1000.00 goal today!

Well took many small losses on the uptick in S&P expecting the sell off... Was profitable 1 trade in Euro... Held the S&P sell off from the top trade... Net +$187.50

Oh hell yeah!!!!:p Mav do the Combine with a live journal...!!!!! You've made a really good point here... Reality... Manning throws 500 yards in simulator but sucks a little again when he goes live and gets sent back to simulator... Manning is toast!

Changed my layout around a little to avoid doing what I did yesterday... Despite making +$400 I feel that I wasted a day... I'm going to be in practice today (not in Combine)... And I'm going to stay there until I hit a $1000 winning day... Still trying to answer 2 questions... 1...

I payed $100 in commissions in combine and $50 in the other account...:D I'm pretty sure I'm the one that got scalped!:eek:

Trading with 5 lots... 5 winners 1 loser for $475 net Combine (which I didn't mean to do today) 3 winners 1 loser for $400 net...
