S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq Position Trader

Still actively trading hogs in the pit (although summer volume was not so great; so wasn't there that much). Usually have some hog spreads on too, but none on right now.

Order to buy 10 at 1270.00 filled. Target is 1278 for today.
 
Sold the 10 at 1278.00 with the limit that was in since morning. Profit today is 8 points on 10 cars, or $4,000.00.

Running realized is now $82,700.00.
 
Just bought 10 contracts at 1268.00. Looking for 1275.00 today, limit order in.

Planning to add at 1260, 1255, and then stop on close below 1250.
 
I understand you have a 20pt max stop, do you exit intraday or wait for close ?

Job well done, I enjoy reading your journal.
 
Yes, first stop, but that was probably bound to happen sometime.

I added 1259.00, 10 cars, to make average 1263.50 and then added 1254.00, 5 cars, to make average around 1261.50 and then stopped at 1244.50 after lunch.

This is a $21,250.00 loss, bring the running realized profit to $61,450.00.

In the overnight electronic market, I just went long 10 at 1229.00 and plan to add 5 at 1222.00 overnight (if we get that low, limit order in). Target is 1240 on this trade.

This really was a surprising move to me today; although in hindsight (obviously) I should have seen that the previous Support/Resistance levels would be broken soon. However, I did not expect an added downward day after I added at 1259 and then at 1254.00. Thinking we might get a relief rally tomorrow morning even if NFP is bad, I believe it is built into this down day in the market.

Just also bought 5 NQ U8 at 1764.00, looking for 1800 on it. Willing to hold over weekend.
 
Quote from futuresRX:

I have been keeping these trades in my floor clearing account.... right now it stands at around $300,000.00 and withdrawals usually keep it around that amount.
More...
Thanks, very helpful.
 
I did get to add 5 at 1222.00 to make the average 1226.67 on 15 contracts. Sadly, to make up for yesterday's large loss, I didn't get to add any more. Currently ITM on the ES overnight long by about 13.50 points, or $10,185.00. Also ITM on the NQ long by 4.75 points, or $475.00 total.
 
Well I certainly just made up for the loss!!! :D

Just sold ES 1272 (15 contracts) and NQ 1810.25 (5 contracts) for profit of $33,997.50 on ES longs and $4,625.00 on the NQs.

Glad I could profit off the bailout/Treasury FNM/FRE measures!

This makes the running realized profit $100,072.50.
 
Won't be trading today, but have entered the following limit orders as targets for entries:
(on ES)

Short 10 @ 1293.50
Short 10 @ 1299.00
Short 10 @ 1304.00

Long 10 @ 1250.00
Long 10 @ 1240.00
