Nice. I've been seling to you all morning. I beg you please it's time to collect your profits :)

Almost stopped out. What a day. Slowly getting chipped away.

Yes, these sharks are small and they keep on biting my account! Who is buying I'm very curious. They don't miss a single dip today. I also just shorted at 1.2423 (futures). I'm crossing my fingers, arms and legs :)

Today we have kind of porky pine type charts! It looks it's going down then spikes back up and makes a higher high and then immediately pulls back. Yes, tell me about these short lasting trades. They just suck the energy out of me. I'm hoping for a trend down day from here. I already...

Yes, it's time to take out the stomach medication! Bonds didn't react well to the numbers so far. I'm hoping that EURUSD will eventually follow the bonds. EURUSD seems to be "artificially" holding up. I'm on the short side. My submarine took couple of torpedos this morning but it's still...

Nice job :) What a run up! It's not pulling back too much either.

Today's P/L is -8 ticks/contract including commissions. More than half of the loss went to commissions. In summary, too many trades....

Today's session was kind of weird. I don't think you misssed too much. I agree with you. We should see 1.2310-15 later in the day.

I was mostly short biased today. After some initial chop, I caught most of the downside move and exited at the bottom. I had a decent profit at that time. Then, I started shorting the 15-20 pips bounces. This thing crept up much more than I predicted. I got stopped out several times. Here are...

got a nice $1 beationg after the report. But EurUsd hasn't moved that much (yet).

Thanks Ebo. I closed my short. EurUsd seems to be happy with where it's right now. I can't see any edges right now. It's time to suppress trading urges and do some Internet surfing...

I had two shorts this morning. The first one got stopped out with 5-6 ticks. The second one currently is open. Bonds are heading slightly south, I'm expecting EurUsd to follow them. EIA Petroleum Status Report is coming out at 10:30 am EST. This might also have an effect on EurUsd. I'm not...

Sorry to hear about your trailing stop. This is why I'm reluctant to automate my trading (the exit part). By the way, you have immense amount of storage 2.5TB! Why do you need that much storage? Are you saving tick data from many different products?

I can tell you that IB systems are very robust. I don't even remember when it was last time I had problems.

Thanks Gringinho. I'm not trading right now but I was able to log in to IB after I saw your post. I guess I still have my cached DNS lookup.

Good job. 43 is a nice number :) Are you going to hold over the GDP number tomorrow? I'm done until after the GDP number.

Now, it's time to evaluate myself. The evaluation is based on how much I stuck to my plan not how much I made or lost. Risk is based on initial # of contracts x stop. And I give it a weight of two relative to Entries and Stop following/exits Risk : 75% Entries: 50% Stop...

I thought the spike will have follow thru on the long side after a 15-20 pips pullback...My entry was OK, I rushed in little bit and paid +3 pips extra than what my charts were telling me. But # of contracts were too much for initial entry. Oh well, I guess the spike went through my head :)

Yeah I fell down like a hungry bear from a tree! Now I might get shaken out from my longs too.
