SIM trade. I am experimenting. Still new to this. Thank you very much for reading my journal and your advice.
You are right. I was working until 1PM eastern so I would have had to be two places at once. But yes it had a big bull breakout bar at yesterday's low price. A very good place to go long.
The way I look at this is that he is almost 70 years of age, no one know how long the seminar will be there. I am spending each month listening to him as if it is the last month being able to listen to a great mind of a practitioner.
Brooks Trading Course is for ES, and Eurocurrency, and Treasurys (Brooks says that is what he trades). Also forex and stocks. I'm not interested in forex. I like to swing trade stocks for days and longer. Not day trade. I'm interested in Treasurys.
This week I am watching and SIM trade the Treasurys.
Also, using the "scalp" approach. In ES, 5 points was good scalp target. Most entries would make 5 points profit before reversing. Over the weekend, looking at past bonds charts 5 ticks seems to be good scalp target right now. So I'm taking 5 tick profits.
Discovered this function of Ninjatrader this week end. I will post this daily here the days I SIM trade. It is performance of trades.
2 trades, 3 contracts each trade, 5 tick scalps. bonds.
Is there a way to show only the current day trades on the chart in Ninjatrader does anyone know? I "reset" my SIM account each day because I do not like seeing all past trades on the chart. But when I reset, I lose cumulative trade performance. Would like to show just current day trades on charts without having to reset account and lose all past performance. Thank you for reading my journal.

Might consider checking out crude oil, too.
I don't think that functionality is available, but you can turn on/off executions for each single chart you have. So, the easiest solution is probably to have one chart you use for trade executions only and your 'main charts' have the plot trades = off.
Alternatively, you can also select "Trades" @ Display on Trade Performance. This gives you a list of your trades for the selected time period. Right click one of the trades and click chart. This gives you a chart with executions for the selected time period.
Hopefully that helps.
Just FYI...
There are new micro futures products on YIELD.

10Y has the largest volume of these YIELD micro products.
I've been following these, investigating the personality.
Check with your broker for margins and the correct symbols for your datafeed.
Yeah, it's in the upper right corner of the screen, where you set the start and end date for the journal you are trying to generate.
Trust me on this, you are correct, you never want to hit the reset button and lose the past performance.
And as an aside, be sure to run weekly backups of your historical trade information.
