Anyone made money in May?

had three calendar spreads active in may. rolled to june or july on all of them. with the rolls, two are net credit and the other has halved the debit. acct up about $1000(yeah small trader) on those 30 contracts. about time to take the money and run to other spreads.
 
Hi,

This is my first post in this forum.

I did make money, day trading e-minies, YM, ES and NQ. I follow an automatic trading system.

Total trades 191.
Gross profit for May was $3,979.50 per traded contract.

Still testing the system but so far so good.

Have a good trading week.

Dan

I also had my best month ever (in my 2 year career). I trade equity futures on CME.

Back to the original topic,

May was a great month to be trading equites(that's all I trade, so am not sure about other investments). Volatility picked up which made for great months for many traders in my group as well as others I have spoken too. I personally had my best month of my six year career.

However, trading isn't always about just volatility, it is also about what is in your head. If you are not all there mentally, it doesn't matter how good the market may have been, you may not fully profit from it. Also, even if you are all there, if you can't find what is in play that will also effect your performance.

It helps to be trading with a good group of people( a team) you can trust since you can't always find everything yourself.

Hi Guys,

I wanted to share with you the tardes that were identify by the TS I'm evaluating.

The system did great during the lasts worst market days so I thought I would be good for you to see the trades found by the system for the rest of the day.

Quote from trader3:

Yes, I did. I thought May was a great month for trading. As a matter of fact, I had only one slightly losing day and most of the loss was commissions. Not sure why everyone seems to think May was not a good month for trading. BTW, I don't hold anything overnight and most of my trades are less than 30 minutes long. On the other hand, I am only 50/50 for June. (But that's only two days so far).
