Well done, but it does seem to indicate that you have a short bias, so may be a good idea to take a more objective view of the markets.

$95k profit in one day ? Well done.

Robee, the only advice I would offer is to trade small, maybe smaller than you think is reasonable, small enough so that an unexpected loss does not take you out of the game. Priorities, in order of importance, should be: 1 Preservation of capital. 2 Consistent profitability. 3 Superior...

1984.25 high...

ES close to all time highs here current quote 1982.5.

Here's an idea - why not post a journal ? A journal normally consists of a daily or weekly summary of trades taken, profit and loss etc etc..

So you regard a 2% loss as a 'terrible week' ............? Sounds pretty tame to me. I suggest you trade one tenth of your normal size until you return to consistent profitability.

"Had another terrible week, down 9k1." What is that as a percentage ? I would drastically cut back on trading size. Your goal should be consistent profitability, week after week, month after month, only after that should you try and make large gains. Just my humble opinion.

Before people get too excited, it's worth pointing out that the SPX is still well above the 50 DMA, and this is still very much a bull market.

Robbee, can I ask, what made you choose the Forex market as your trading market ? Not the easiest market for a novice in my 'umble opinion.

Robee, welcome and good luck with your trading. Be interested to see your progress.

It's expiry next week, would not be surprised to see a rally into that.

I reckon the Vix will pick up, but we may have to wait until Sepetember.
