I will say this in response though, as I have stated before a lot in trading is probability based (as most know). Some of my trades are based on low=small initial+averaging and some are high probability=full initial position size+scale outs and some are based on my mech system criteria where I would apply medium position size+doubling up after a lost trade. What that means is that if, for instance, ES swings 30 points in one day and I manage to catch only 10-20% (NET) of that move, that is an OUTSTANDING performance as far as I am concerned. Of course others will be happy with 5%, others will want to see 50%+. We all have different criteria and ability, but the only thing that matters is CONSISTENCY and proper management, nothing else.

Hi romik,

Let just tell you, you can make 6 or 7 perfect calls <b>in a row</b>, predicting future price movements with near-supernatural ability, while asking for nothing in return...

Then you make 1 or 2 mediocre calls where you <b>still make money</b>... and you'll get bashed mercilessly, getting called every name in the book. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do- if you keep a somewhat high profile, a 100% approval rating is simply impossible to attain.

Long @ 1343.25 obviously has not been triggered yet

Romik, this is an idea to be discussed in a different journal as you are just posting your calls, but I want to initiate a thought that could be discussed elsewhere if you don't mind. --I think you should be able to walk away from the computer and leave your profit target and stop loss in place. :)

Position closed +0.50pts per contract

Total amount of points in this J will be counted based on PER POSITION basis.

You are right on that one, I should have left a limit/stop on and walked away leaving an open position, I guess I just don't trust my ISP, I believe the orders are not server based on my platforms.
