Yep, part of the purpose here is to create a system without my bias. Long term - bias is long Swing trade - bias is long Intraday trade - bias is short (although moving to neutral)

No idea, I was actually expecting to get stopped out on r10 long trade. My bias was short and I'm short intraday with my other trading (helped a lot the last few days). That move just stopped me out...but anyways.

First target hit, what do you know 2 in a row :)

Long at 1223.75 but close enough hopefully that I won't get stopped out.

Second target filled. Again trailing stop did not help minimize losses and actually hurt gains. I've been saying I'm not going to change the system for at least a month. I need to give it some serious consideration as the target and trailer have not worked and has hurt overall results.

Short from 37.00 Stop at 40.00 Targets 32 and 27 I missed a few trades overnight. Until this volatility subsides I don't see myself leaving a possible trade overnight. Still gathering data though. Looks like we would have had 1 winner and 2 stop outs. Edit: Filled on first target.

I didn't see that as a valid reaction high...there was hardly any movement from there at all. It is easy to look back and say you missed that one, but nobody pointed it out at the time (or at least that I can recall)

Too busy for the most part intraday. I got a long from 1227.50 but for journal purposes we can use 1228.50 since I'm a little late posting. Targets 1249 and 1262. Stop 1208

Stop to BE. Plan on exiting before the close. Stopped out at BE.

That too but I was thinking that there are no sellers left.

Seems like this down move vs last week has a lot more panic. So I see a good r:r long. Long 1233.25 Stop 1229.50 Target 1248. Probability is low.

Took this trade and got stopped out. Done for the day. -50 + commissions. I ll post an update tonight on the system.

I used a new reaction high of 48.50.

Yep, please see one of my previous posts today about how I am looking at changing the system.

Yep almost always goes against me, i was quite surprised.

Just made a trade error, thought I had canceled out an order to buy at 42.50 (for a buy at 38.50) Heard it execute while I was getting a drink. Came back closed it out immediately and got lucky as it was up a point... +100. I am including in trading results because we would include...

Thanks! I'd like to get some more data before I change the system...but I'm looking at using a 3pt stop 3pt target and then trail 5pt until stopped out or I close out before the weekend or big news event etc. I'd love for it to get to 55.50 but I don't think we will. I've been on the short...

Long 48.75 Stop 45.75 Stopped out near the lows...

2nd target hit, full 10pts. 3rd profitable trade. Again, trailing stop / first target actually hurts results. We will continue to keep this in mind to continue improving results.

Short 68.50 stop 71.50 Edit First target hit, trailing stop now on.
