Today was slow - so i had time to post here. But on active faster days I will not be able to do so. Otherwise I would start a Journal of my own.

If anyone knows to get yahoo IM to post here let me know.

I guess it will be more helpful if you describe more about your system than posting real time trades. I, for one, trust your results, so you don't have to prove them to me.

However, I suspect few would be able to tailcoat your trades. So I'd like to see more on when you enter a position, when you exit, when you reverse, and how do you determine the size of the stop, etc.

It's entirely up to you to expose to what extent the detail of your trading system. I ask only because you offered to help. How much effort you want to put into this is your call.

I AM AFRAID I HAVE DISCLOSED ALL I FEEL I CAN W/O JUST POSTING THE SYSTEM.

IT IS QUITE SIMPLE AND THERE IS NOT MUCH MORE I CAN GIVE ANYONE OTHER THAN THE ACTUAL INDICTORS AND PATTERNS I USE.

SORRY

I show 2 extra trades as I exited and re-entered a trade at a better price and ended up with a little better net for the day - but the system trades were as shown in the UPDATES.

Pretty impressive day - hope you're doing better than I am in this narrow range today!

So far only 3.50 pts and I've been sitting long 8.00 since the open.

Yes a tough narrow range - got myself negative early on, but have +2.75 and may quit on day unless I see a good set up.
