Hey, I already said (in the other Gauntlet thread) that I took the Gauntlet and did not have a single profitable week so I set the bar low and the pressure is off of you. You are correct in an earlier comment that the Gauntlet is a tremendous learning experience.

It's not easy making 10% in 60 calendar days. I had to increase my trade size. I must trade less. And I need to stay away from the ES.

Handle,
Thanks! I do not trade the ES that often now... but I watch my trading partner trade it all day long by camera. I will watch this characteristic that you disclose and mentally trade his chart...I took the fricken DOM for the ES OFF MY SCREEN except for certain times of the day.

Today I made back some of my loss...my balance is $24,908.71. My trading is lackluster after 7 full days. I do not lose much but I do not make much.

P.S. A fellow trader called me to ask how I did today. He said that I should not be down $100.00 after 7 full days of trading 25K

Easy for someone not walking in your shoes to say what your trading results should be. You are not suffering a meaningful drawdown which is a huge part of what Helios will be looking at. You have 8 weeks left to catch a few good moves in bonds to make the $2500.
Illini,
That was a kind thing to post. I am sitting here and feeling real good from what you posted after something happened real bad to me. But I must get "with it" soon as I would rather have the profit that my rules state.
My trading partner withdrew from being my partner as I told him what that trader said about trading 25k for 7 full days without any profit. My partner did not know what I intended by telling him that... and got offended and asked me not to contact him anymore. He cited several trades that I missed (10 ticks in the ZB equaling $312.50) and reminded me he made 5k yesterday. He did not agree with how I bracket all of my orders. I also made two mechanical mistakes that added up to losing $350.00 but he did not remind me of those.
I learned some stuff and I am trading the same the way that he taught me. Lets see how my day turns out.
Thank you for reading

I made this change over the weekend before the other changes could take effect. This journey is a long journey and I need more flexibility. So no harm no foul and again Ryan understands and said no "problem".
Please excuse the changes. I have decided to add pattern matching in the NQ, YM & ES to my trading along with trading order flow with the extremes of the Uni-Renko bars.
daily target: $200.00
daily loss: $1,000.00
weekly target:$500.00
weekly loss: $3,000.00
monthly target: $1,600.00
monthly loss: $5,000.00
I trade the ZB with the extremes of order flow in the Uni-Renko bars. I may trade in the night session. My stop losses are never widened. Other instruments being watched are the NQ, YM and the ES for pattern matching set-ups. There may or may not be trades in them.

Hey you guys I did good today...My balance is $26,105.62. I am almost half way there after 7 full days of trading. Finally! Its too bad my trading partner could not see this.
The pace started dropping in the YM, ES and NQ and that is where I made all my money today. I made 93 bucks in the bonds. TRADING ONE CONTRACT. I MADE A TOTAL OF 4RT'S TODAY. ONE IN EACH INSTRUMENT.
I am flat and going to go lay down now.
