Rule of 10 Journal

Quote from jagmot:

Long 48.75
Stop 45.75

Stopped out near the lows...

I was pulling for you to take the 2-3 point gain and bank it. Close but no cigar. Next short is at 55.50.

Thanks! I'd like to get some more data before I change the system...but I'm looking at using a 3pt stop 3pt target and then trail 5pt until stopped out or I close out before the weekend or big news event etc.

I'd love for it to get to 55.50 but I don't think we will. I've been on the short side most of the day with my other trading.

ES looks like it is trying to roll over for another drop, 54.50 was as close as it got. Things may change after lunch though.
 
Just made a trade error, thought I had canceled out an order to buy at 42.50 (for a buy at 38.50) Heard it execute while I was getting a drink. Came back closed it out immediately and got lucky as it was up a point... +100.

I am including in trading results because we would include trading errors that went against us.

Bracketed at 38.75 and 52.00

Edit: Corrected brackets

What did u say about gaps not filling Pek?

Nothing. I said I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't. But I did miss you posting a short. :)

Jag, shouldn't there been a long entry around 44.25? It would have been a loser though...

Edit: I see you canceled it, what was the reason?

What did u say about gaps not filling Pek? Jag what did you give up by taking 10 and not trailing ?

Yep, please see one of my previous posts today about how I am looking at changing the system.
