...is the psych issue one of whether to take profits quickly for this experiemnt's objective, versus holding longer, as you seem to imply that you do in your normal trading? Also, what is the symbol for this future (sorry, don't know interest rates)? Thanks.

...thanks for helping an old man out. Judging from sandwich you described on the other thread, you won't need more than $0.99.

I had opened when the trades were available.
I'm out of the es 2nd at 1055.5 845 et. Think I mistyped 1st contract ..was good for +1.25 so with 2nd total for es = 2.25. Keeping bond for now.

I now have trades in other accounts going, so will check back with totals when out of those.

This has been a great start, but yes I do lose. Today +22 ticks for bonds for net 584.15 and +2.25 for es net = 102.9. This gives a net total of $1102. Tommorrow I will add a 3rd contract, as total is now over $16000. Todays trades were news reaction and with the trend. There will be losses, I have them all the time, but I'm not going to waste time worrying about a great start!

the trade entries I entered off percieved support points. Intial risk for bonds was down to roughly a break of ^4. And the es back to 57.25. Hope we are starting to get back to large range days again, sure is alot more fun!

...way to go! Do you need an agent? We could make you huge (financially, that is)! Do you typically scalp ES like that?
