Sim trading p&l 2009

($200)

Disaster, computer problems right from the open, tried to trade and fix things on the fly.. forget it... it was a very easy morning to trade too, about a 2 on a 5 scale.
 
up about $40 but would be about breakeven considering commisions.

However, I was up about $450 from trading the globex session and lost it all in RTH.

What are the rules about daily trading targets? I was tempted to not trade the market after the globex because I had already made more than usual from just globex, but then that seemed a bit silly as then aren't you just sort of saying 'right, ive been lucky, i dont want to give it back'?. Turns out it would have been the right thing to do tho?....

Arew you supposed to stop when you hit your daily target?
 
Often, when I hit my daily target i trail stop my trades from that point on. Sometimes i get stopped out at my target other times i get a lot extra.

Sweet! Did you do anything different today?

My first trade of the day was a 2 contract trade rather than my usual 1. This happened by accident when i was playing around with the software but it turned out to be one of my best trades of the day.
For my own records I am deducting a few hundred dollars from the posted amount...
 
up $140

'Should' have made about 6 times that much. Strange day. The market done exactly what i thought it would, but mistiming entries by just a few ticks meant me getting stopped out on quite a few trades only to watch them fly in my facvour seconds after taking me out.
(i was very bearish since the open today)
Shows how hard it is though. Felt like I had a road map today, and i still didn't kil it! (still made though so thats something)
