Something very simplistic

I added a "SYSTEM TOTALS" tab to summarize the equity of the entire system together. I think trading both ES and NQ together minimizes some of the risk of having a negative day.

Your equity curve has legs! It looks a little like today's rally!

How did you realize a 1.50 loss on the first trade? Shouldn't it have been 3.50?

Because I just got out of it when the second trade stopped out and hadn't taken the third trade which was a short, etc. Basically had a moment where I had myself confused about what I needed to do so I just abandoned it all to regroup.

Just got in from a meeting this a.m., it looks like the :04 and :25 trades went well on both contracts! Any commentary on the ( o'clock trades?

Of course, I 'll look myself.

All winners except for 0943.

First three trades of the day went well - odd though - all the ES trades were opposite the NQ trades - All shorts on ES and all longs on NQ.

Workbook is good through the 10:25 now.

Quah,

Interestingly, at 09:35, either Long or Short would be good for ES.

I'm up slightly...tho I caught a double-loser on 9:43. I
entered at 874.5, which then allowed my stop on the
reverse to get hit..at the high for that timeframe, of course.
Argh.

Quah, on your 10:04, you have an entry of 866.00...I've
used every different feed QCharts sends, they all say
the opening was 865.00. Did you wait a few beats on
that one, or what happened?

Regardless, that 9:43 is the 3rd time I've had doublewhammys,
when you had b/e, just because of the QChart entrynumber.
One more and I think I'm switching to esignal.

zorak - My 10:04 entry was technically wrong - it should have been 865.00 as you said - but my chart was messed up and I was 2 bars early and didn't realize it.
