I just got into daytrading crude oil, about 2 weeks now. I'm switching from gold because it's very unpredictable on a intraday basis right now. Been trading for 9 days now, haven't seen a negative day yet in crude oil, I like this! I think right now crude oil has to catch up with the dow...

My 2nd journal, the first one is here. I started my account with 20K in February. I had a rough start trading things like YM, ES, HSI and some other random contracts but finally settled for gold. Up until last week I had a peak of 48K, but today the account sits at 22K. My trading...

There's been great action in gold lately. My instinct for reading gold has been getting better and better. I stopped using technical indicators for now, and I seldom use trendlines anymore. I was able to break the 2K mark today for the first time, although I may make one more trade. Happy...

Week 19 Friday Gold was stable today, trading in a range that hovered above 900 and below 910. I've been refining my trading method more and more this week. I think scalping with 1 contract at a time is most effcient and also less risky than trying to scalp multiple contracts. I like to...

Week 19 Wednesday I woke up later than usual because I wanted to trade after the petroleum status report, and also I noticed I usually start off the morning with a loss and fight my way back. I traded much less today than usual which is good, but I think my appetite for risk is increasing...

Week 19 Tuesday Very good movement in gold today, lots of pops, drops, n chops, but somehow I always scared myself out of a trade before making much. I ended up making too many trades today as usual, but on the bright side I'm +734 for the year.

Week 19 Monday Woohoo. Made a profit in the account! I started off with a big deficit, I tried shorting the freight train that was gold this morning, and got hammered pretty bad but luckily it drifted back a little and I closed out at a smaller loss. After that I just churned the account...

Week 18 Friday I took a short break for a couple of days because of some obligations (had to help the sis move) and didn't trade much. Today seemed like a super slow day for gold. Not good because I was trying to hit 20K today, where I started the account some 4 months ago. I averaged...

Thanks rtrader. And thank you to whoever has been keeping up with my journal, and especially to those who have given me feedback over the months. I wanna also especially thank ammo, who's given me regular feedback since I joined and also sent me PMs checking on me and such. Though, I'm...

Week 18 Tuesday Got 4 hrs of sleep last night and I couldn't for the life in me stay awake. I was going to just get in, set a stop, and take a nap. I missed a short entry by 1 tick right before gold tanked. I then tried to counter-trend trade the down spikes which cost me close to 700. I...

Week 18 Monday Gold went up and down today in an orderly fashion, closing at virtually unchanged. It behaved well and only had a couple of unexpected spikes. I'm doing more and more trades throughout the day and the commissions are pretty expensive. I could've made more by making fewer...

Out at -55.50. Wow, what a come back.

Oil almost up-limit- I almost feel like shorting it if it does... impulse trade at 137.78... and CNBC lied, there is no uplimit to oil apparently.. shit
