stopping my pnl posting for now. Just paid off my car loan and credit cards with my trading capital. That was about $20k worth. Will save up enough in 6 months to trade real $ again. I will be backtesting and forward testing some new strategies. Goal is to hold entries for 1:3 risk to...

I don't understand you either. Nobody understands you. Do you ever re-read what you write ? I bet you, if you re-read it, u wouldnt understand it either, lol.

Most of you pros KILLED it today, I know it. Me ? I churned and burned the first 11 trades of the day. My biggest problem was getting used to the change in volatility compared to the previos few months. The PA is a lot slower, and you need to stay in trades longer. I feel i've now adapted...

Options EX day. Another really tough day to trade the ES. Quitting early. 1 trade exited early on purpose to take a quick profit. Decided enoughs enough, I'm done for the week. Really tough week for me. One of my worst weeks in a few months. This weeks results: +$68.70, +$1.50...

No blotter today. had to run to work quickly. Terrible day. The chop killed me. Options ex week is certianly a pain for me. I'll post a blotter later today if anybody cares. -$80 on 1 es contract

Is that the June Contract ?

They are REALLY chopping this up today. I'm having a hell of a time seeing as though I didnt catch the morning dive.

awesome trading schizo. May I ask how many contracts you normally trade ?

there's no excuse for this piss poor discipline I had today. Didn't adhere to my trading plan and my PnL amounted to this. System generated trades killed it for +$337.50. Unfortunately, getting cute on the 1 minute chart, a chart I can't trade for my life amounted to super duper losses...

amen.

no, it wasnt premature. I was excited that I was making $. so sue me.

Thanks for caring about me, everyone. But really, I'm fine, lol. And thanks for derailing my thread. When I move up to 2 lots is of no concern to you all. I'm fine tuning my skills, and when I feel as if I'm ready for more, I will move up to it. Oh, and if I had a proven track record...

yes. I lost $30k before I started making $. Who the hell hasn't ? Currently I'm only averaging $200-$500 / week on 1 contract. I'm posting on the PnL thread, which is more than all the jokers that are going to bash post on that thread. Increase size to say, even 4 contracts and u have an...

doesn't matter, just specify which.

Just curious. I know we have a lot of similar threads. But I'm asking fellow traders who trade the ES, how many points are u making per day ? For those that are slow, just divide your average weekly profits / 5 days and then divide again by 50 and again by the # of contracts you trade...

The good news is that my bad days are getting more and more manageable. had 1 good trade today get stopped out and then immediately reverse back up. Re-entered, didnt' make a penny..... Hate when that happens. When I trade larger size I'll be throwing in larger stops and adding to...

Great thing about daytrading is I dont really care if I'm right or wrong :) . As long as we get some good movement.

prepare to be surprised. I bet we go under 1075 tomorrow.

Surprised I got 4 trades in today based on the fact that I was at the computer for such short intervals. Gotta end early today even though i see the market tanking in front of me. Although w/ this chop, I'm somewhat glad I've got other things to take care of today +$68, +1.75 ES points.

I think 20 ES points / week is a realistic goal for the consistant ES trader. that comes out to 4 points / week and thats definitely doable. I know a few guys that I trade w/ once in a while that are consistantly pulling those numbers. Just b/c some of you don't see it being done...
