In fact, I'm going to turn up the heat. You have heard the term of pissing in your Cheerios?

Well, I am going to do a sneak attack. I am going to piss on only ONE of your Cheerios, and stick it in your bowl. Haha! Now your whole breakfast is ruined, due to one off bit of the breakfast.

That is what you seem to be doing here. If you do great on the Asian session, then just trade THAT! Don't worry about any other sessions, because that is just greed talking. And you'd look pretty bad talking with a piss-laden Cheerio stuck between your teeth. Gnarly.

i feel like throwing up watching this price action lol..that's almost a 1000 tick reversal in asian..

looked over my session breakdown..i'm super consistent in the asian session...i tend to fall apart in the US session..

The US session where they overlap isn't easy hilmy.
If you can imagine, Europe has been at it doing their thing and then the US come online, sometimes they bang heads and it can get quite choppy with random bouts of volatility.
I am very cautious with overlapping sessions.
I'll cut my size down if i play, but prefer trading only when one region is on. It is just 'cleaner'.

I agree with @Overnight, play the session you're strongest in.
You may even find that by playing your strongest session, your really rotten days disappear.

Anyway, keep up the effort mate!

Did you do it with 242 contracts on 1 tick, or 1 contract on 242 ticks?

2 contracts

2 contracts

So 121 ticks on 2 contracts? Well done! You know, I have made thousands of dollars today in sim also. $7,000, to be more precise. Yet my real account is still underwater. I am down $300 on two micro contracts in the real acccount. Now why do you think that is?

 

[hilmy83]

yesterday was probably my worst trading day in a while. and today is one of my best.

now why do you think that is?

You take a loaded dice that is loaded on 6, and bet on 6 every time, with a 1/6 r/r or better. You will make money over time, of course. But if you take a 5 throw sample and compare with another 5 throw sample, they can look wildly different.

That was the long answer. Short answer is, your yesterday's trades and today's trades, viewed in isolation are too small a sample size to draw any conclusion

That's how it goes sometimes...a bad trading day is followed by a great trading day. Yet, you don't want that bad trading day to be a blow-up day because there won't be a next trading day.

By the way, I saw your live stream video for today and you were already up +3525.00 before you started your live streaming of your trading day and it looks like you were trading much earlier in the morning trading session.

Did you start your live stream late for a reason or just forgotten about it while concentrating on your first trades of the trading day ?

Then there's huge down turn in the market and the streaming video continues without you trading...

You were busy with personal things or just didn't get any trade signals during the huge down movement in the price action ?

Also, that last trade...the Short position...absolutely brilliant on the entry within the context of the increased volatility that came with fast moving price action.
