1-my cash balance is not impressive at all
2-this would be too much pressure on me

The cash balance would serve the purpose of tracking your progress. It's not a dick measuring contest.

How would posting a blotter EOD be of ANY pressure to you? The trades would be closed by then...

For the most part, yes. In trying to figure out why certain signals look much clearer from the short side rather than the long side (trend pullbacks being a good example for me), I've concluded that the bias must be buried deep in my (our) subconscious and/or genetics. It does make some sense when you consider that we witness things falling everyday throughout our lives (leaves falling from trees), but how often to we witness things shooting up toward the sky -- unless you visit Yellowstone, not much. Maybe there's a better reason, but for now, that's the best I can come up with.

Also, if you are really monitoring all of the contracts listed in your first post, then I don't think you'll have a problem only going short. But if you're only monitoring one or two at a time, then you may not get as many signals as you need. I usually monitor about 3 contracts.

great post...thanks...I will keep all the contracts up on my platform to begin with. Really I like momentum selling, meaning the one contract getting really hit hard and enter in...need to sharpen the reason for entering the trade

I am going to think of some way to note my progress...
 
Have you found success in your sim trading? I know you tried a lot of strategies and markets...what was most profitable? How will you be trading?

kinda backed off the sim trading as a "indicator" of my real trading. I will be trading short, real quick scalps selling with momentum. Again monitoring which of the aforementiond contracts are heading south. using 5 minute charts and most likely 9:30-11:30am EST period only?...trades should be pretty quick, like 3-5 minutes or less. Really would love to focus on the CL large Crude o Comex large Gold...only need one contract to make significant $$$...thanks
