Another great day money wise but strategy was not what I planned. I guess I have to blow my paper account to finally understand that what I am doing is dangerous. Therefore, despite a very good week, as a matter of fact probably the best I ever had, I decided to stay on the sim for another week. Folks at OEC will have to wait another couple of days to earn their keep I guess.
Asfor today, I started good, 1 contract here 1 contract there and then around 10:15 I realized that the market will go down and started shorting adding more contracts along the way. The ride was pretty but I could never do that with my own money simply because I do not have enough to play this way. Monday, I swear I am going back to 1 contract.
As for today I did $5950. Very nice but very unrealistic at the same time. Enjoy the weekend guys and happy trading on Monday.
Good Monday! Made $475 trading 1 ES contract exclusively. (I would have made more but was busy exchanging "pleasantries" with T28). At 3:30 when I stop trading, just for pure fun I placed 4 contracts and got $162 on that last dip of the ES. So, I am happy, made money sticking to my system and it worked. I am a Happy camper today.
