Well, we have 1 newbie with his first blown account (another one bites the dust) and the next one right above me without a blotter. If you're going to post your PnL, attach a blotter ! +$145.30 today, +3 ES points. Only 1 trade this morning, and I wish I grabbed more than 3 points from...

Early morning blow up. Damn price action on ES was a pain in the ASS. Was down $800 at one point today on 1 freakin' contract. Didn't pay attention to my max loss b/c I wanted to capitalize as I figured the market would skyrocket in the afternoon. So I added to a winning position to get...

nobody responding in this thread huh, guess everyone is getting killed today, like me

-$78 , -1 ES point. Couldn't get anythiing going today. Rough day for me.

If anyone actually made $ today trading the ES, u are a god. Damn, it was very tough for me.

stock, how about u man up and start posting your blotter on the PnL forums. 10,000+ posts and you don't contribute a damn thing here. Some people are actually serious about trading and dedicate a lot of time to it. You on the otherhand seem to get enjoyment out of belittling posters...

+$103.10, +2.25 ES points I might request that the Mods change my name to "Pansy ES Trader" . Volatility flustered me today even though I had a ton of winning woulda coulda shoulda trades that my system kicked out at me. Oh well.... If I can average 2 ES points / day I'm doing better...

+$198.40 , +4.25 ES points Quitting early today as I want to get to the gym before I head into to work later. Scalped my intraday swing entries today instead of held. Call me a bitch if u want, lol. Soon as I move up to 2 contracts I'll be doing this whole 45-60 min hold deal.

none that I know of. And that drop didn't seem all that irregular.

No trades for me today. After seeing the first 45 mins of the market, I wasn't entirely confident on the pre-market price action pattern, so I made a conscious decision not to trade. Turned out to be a bad one, b/c there were plenty of good opportunities after the first hour of the day was...

+$84.30 , +2.25 points trading 1 ES contract Well, I have a headache so I'm quitting early to go take a nap before I have to go work tonight. All I have to say about today is I no longer have fear of entering trades like I had before. Its just a mindset I had to get over. I have an...

+$10.80 trading 1 ES contract. What a damn noob I am ! Took 2 non-system plays like a dummy to try and catch that EOD move up after the consolidation around 3:30-3:45est ish. Of course, I traded on feel rather than system entries. And of course I lose 3 points in the process getting...

very nice, I was short 84.75 as well but covered at 82. Good luck on your short @82.75. I'm more bullish biased right now, but i won't be taking any long trades.

this action sucks. all the candles are messy, its tough to stay in trades with price chopping everywhere. To make matters worse different timeframes have divergences in my long / short convictions. And if we pushed down today, it would have been a lot cleaner oh well.

wow, a pullback to a 5 min or even 15 min EMA would be nice. Too difficult for me to buy at these levels ! ugh. What a waste of a trading morning. I hate not being able to trade early in the AM. Usually some nice signals then....but not today :(

awesome idea. I use OEC, will be doing that for Tuesday, thanks.

wow, so you're saving average 9 ES points per day with 1 lot ? Wow. In this current environment its possible. But in April, that would have been VERY tough.

Not a problem there. After losing so much $ during slow days, i know exactly how to trade them now. I can make $ in any condition now. I actually will be posting all my days in the PnL thread from now on. Only problem I have, and I've said this before in other threads, is making trades...

yes, my plan is to refine my technique more. I know I can pull $1000 / week in this volatility environment on 1 contract. $200 / week is just unacceptable for the current edge I have. And for all concerned, my max stop is around 3.5 points. the average is around 2.25 point stop loss...

As many of you know, I trade the ES. I've been trading the ES using only 1 contract. lately, I've been averaging $200-$500 per week trading 1 contract. I hope as the weeks go on, I will get more efficient and gradually make more as well as have at most, 1 losing day per week instead of...
