Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

[ElectricSavant]

He said that he needed someone to trade with...So I bought a microphone at Walmart and fired up zoom.

It's no big deal now...it was just a shock when he did not want me to contact him anymore. All I said is that another trader asked me why I was trading 25k for seven days without showing any profit..I did not know the answer.

it's my revenge to be successful.

I think that he was just a good guy.

Why did he hook up with you in the first place? What was in it for him?

TRS...admit you come to this thread everyday to read it...you like drama!

I like the Gauntlet concept and am following this thread and as you are now running a journal in this thread it is providing me with further information, so thank you.
But no, trading and drama don't really do anything for me. Personally, I see the trading arena as a dispassionate zone. That's just me though.

 

[ElectricSavant]

Your fine and I understand.

I am glad you are using this Gauntlet thread (that caa... started) to learn about it. This is exactly my intention as nobody has done this here or in Futuresio.

carry on.

P.S. For what it's worth...I have not once been contacted by Earn2Trade. I have initiated all contact. They leave me alone thus far. I spoke to Fred the first time..he is the manager. I do not know where Peter is...Peter was a good guy.

I made a little night trade in the ES...made $83.86 after commish.

Well its going to have to be the perfect trade for me to give back the +$156.80 I have made thus far in trading the Gauntlet for today. I am flat and sitting on my hands. If I keep what I have today I am over halfway to the target of $2,500.00 in 9 trading days (10 calendar days) of trading the Gauntlet full time. I started the 60-day Gauntlet midnight (mst) 09/17/18 so I have 50 calendar days left.

The problem I am having today (this is in my journal) is to know when the pullback is a pullback and if the trend will resume? We got more than a 50% retracement in the ES...so I guess were all in long?

I like to start trading at midnight (mst) and catch the first sig...then mentally I develop the waves of retracement or chop from there. If I can make $150 bucks or so by an hour after the open I am good to stop trading. Just watch and be more selective for later trades.

Folks I talked to Jonathon at Rithmic today about the errors happening in the performance screen. They are fixing it.

TRS you are correct. Everything you say. I am finding that personal friends of mine are distracting me from my trading. I like to come to ET and post anonymously and not get personal with anybody. I get a lot from ET and use it for my Journal and trading room.

I am very sad that my so-called friends treat me like shit since I started trading full time.

It is best to trade emotion-free and remove drama.

I need to concentrate and focus now. I have many people on ignore and blocked.

Realize that Earn2Trade does not care about me other than to make money from me. They have their rules and will drop me in a heartbeat if I become unprofitable after funding.

Lets talk about trading from now on and stick to that. Thanks for reading.

I stayed flat after the $156.80 in my Gauntlet account. I sim traded instead. I will start again tonight at midnight (mst) and hopefully catch some impulses and learn what will happen at the open. I go back to bed after a successful trade at midnight and get ready for the open. Hopefully it will go the way it did last night.

My pattern matching is not so frequent in the ES, YM and NQ but when there is a match it is an awesome trade. This is my personal trade and no one gave it to me...it is mine. I have other methods that I am testing but cannot incorporate them into my trading plan as enough changes is enough.I will go with what I have as more is not better unless it is trading correctly to get money.

My end-date for the Gauntlet is 11/16/2018. I have 44 trading days in the 60-day period. I have used up 9 trading days, leaving 35. I have $1,404.66 which leaves $1,095.34. I need $32.29 per day for the remainder of my Gauntlet. I want to get the best offer so I will do my best to control risk and continue to trade full time each day regardless of my balance. The rules state you just need to trade once a week but I trade everyday. This shows consistency.

I am looking forward to your posts later on and Thanks for reading.

All I said is that another trader asked me why I was trading 25k for seven days without showing any profit..I did not know the answer.

Except you typed in the the answers. You made some mistakes. It happens. Without having been a fly on the wall, it would be impossible to know what the exchange looked/sounded like.

 

[ElectricSavant]

The thing that stuck out in my mind was that he said he made 5K the day before. So I immediately understood that he interpreted that I was blaming him for my lack of profit in 7 days as he defended himself. He did not bring in my mistakes but cited my premature exit of a trade because of my use of brackets.

But lets drop the Drama...It's all good and I can recommend the Gauntlet to every aspiring trader. It teaches you to define your trading. Nobody can blame anybody for their trades, lack thereof or mistakes other than themselves.
