Target hit for 2 points with two contracts or +4.

Cumulative for the day -2

The trade worked out, but the r/r was terrible on that one and I shouldn't have taken the trade.

Breakout occurs. We are long 1 contract at 1330. Our target is 1332 because we should reach the next highest column of x's which is at 1332. Our stop is at 1327.50. We also place a two contract sell order at the same price in case we have a failed double top.

If you notice the red line in the green chart that is a previous pivot point. In a trending day I would have made that my target, but today is obviously a chop day so I am shooting for smaller targets.

Anyway target is hit for 2 points.

cumulative for day is 0

Next trade is a sync trade with everything in a buy signal. this is normally a good setup. We are in at 1335.25. Stop will be used on a double bottom sell signal on the .5 which will be 1331.50(we are using this because if we used the .75 we would have to go down to 1329.

Target is the top of the last higher x column which would be on the .75 1338.75

End of day reached at 1337.50. We close our trade with a profit of 3 points times two contracts or +6 points.

cumulative for the day 1.25 points.

When you consider commissions I am sure we are at breakeven or less.

Low range day.
Low range profits.

That's all folks!!!!

My brain is now officially fried just like it is at the end of every trading day.

I can tell you right now I will not do this again. If I traded NQ all day today, and then did this, I would be ready for the funny farm.
