Baron, when I click on "New Posts", this thread is not displayed... any idea if this is a bug or something?

Hi ETers, Its a technical document and it will take an hour or more to understand each line. Maybe some among us already know in and outs of this. How big an impact will this make on the industry? Also, Can anyone summarize the main points of this doc...

Just logged to ET after a 10 days or so. Surprised to find this change in forum. So, the reason I have not updated this thread or sent any mails to people who are on my mailing list is because my computer has became very unstable. I have been working for last week to run various kinds of tests...

Welcome Maverick! Great to see you here :):)

V.Good Trading ILO :)

Given all above, still I started with 30k and ended with 50k after 9 months. I think thats my answer to non-believers. I am going to ask Mods to close this thread.

I forgot to mention it - This is not a paper journal. I have enough confidence in my methodology to run it on actual money now.

Hurricane, lets do it as per your suggestion. So, lets do the math. with close at 1936. Account Equity = 78,125. When I posted it, market price was 1905, so thats 31 points lower. I had 18 contracts. For journal integrity purposes, I close at 1905. So, additional loss PL = -18*50*31 = -27,900...

Fair point you make about posting an hour or two later and this is a swing journal not an intra-day stuff. May I draw your attention to the fact that I kept posting throughout the journal for 9 months almost real time. I went into a drawdown from 110k to 55-60k and still I continued posting...

I am a full-time career trader. When I started trading back in the day, I opened a brokerage account with Tradestation, wired 20k into it and promptly lost all the money. This process repeated few times with different brokers. Finally, after a lot of work, spending countless nights developing...

In above journal, I went from 30k to 110k in about 4 months. My Max DD allowed was 70% Then had a big drawdown came to 55-60k. Then again went to 98k and finally ended that journal at 78k. So, its certainly possible to go to 100k from 30k in one year, then next year it should be...

Yes, this time I just got distracted since I was undergoing a drawdown in my real account. Managing that drawdown was priority, rather than updating this journal. I hope it makes sense.

Haha :D:D Only difference is if you are interested, you can send me your email and you will get all the trades in real-time :) And I hope you don't doubt my sincerity on this. I maintained my last journal for months in real-time, when I was not even sure if anyone is looking at it. When...

Thanks for a Good question! I am going to program sending emails directly from my spreadsheet. So, as soon as I click on a buy button in my spreadsheet, and if your email is there, you will be sent an email with the desired number of lots. It will be fully automatic process for me. Whereas...

Sir, For your kind information, in previous one I started with 30k, ended with 78k. I breached that journal integrity because I didn't make a call in real time, so I decided to close that journal.

Paper trading has a place, it makes huge amount of sense to start with paper trading than put in 20-30k of your real capital on a new style that you are starting. In the first post on this thread, I already mentioned this is an experimental journal. If your reading comprehension is so bad...

Sir, I don't know why you are so condescending and angry. If you observe closely, I made that post wanting to add 'desperately' at 1920 on 1st August. I Sold at 1936 on August 4 (Monday) around the close in my real account. US constitution allows free speech and you are free to call me...

This thread will act as a personal thread for me to update and track my results. So, updates in this thread will be typically delayed. I will also post a monthly equity curve. I would also like to contribute towards other ETers bank accounts and trading profits. So, if you would like to...

NOTE In above post, I understand market is now at 1905 and I am updating with market price at 1936. There are 2 things that can be learnt from this experience: 1) Journal integrity has been breached. 2) I don't have "enough" interest and desire to update this journal "always" during live...
