TF & ES short term

Quote from bornwarrior:

indextrader,

Hope you widened those stops today, especially with TF.

Do you always trade from both sides (long/short) on the same day? It was a pretty strong up day.
As a side question what are you using in terms of hardware/ software? anything special beyond solid home PC and regular broadband?

Good luck.
PS: Don't mind "we". It's your journal/video. You can even refer to yourself in the third person, "index trader BOT...":p

Yes, stops are widened. As of now I'm just at breakeven for the day, 5 trades in.

Yes, I'm looking at such small moves, most always there is opportunity on both sides.

Nothing special here. Home PC and cable. Oh, I do have a couple monitors.

Today I think I'll say "rupert" took all the trades. I can take some of the responsibility off myself for the trading errors.
 
I thought I would share something more today. Here's a look at my trading stats spreadsheet I made.

Monitoring performance is crucial for me. A combination of a trade journal that I write in as I trade, a trade log- (this spreadsheet) with analytics, and a daily and weekly trade review. These things have a lot to do with my success.

I just noticed the video is really hard to see price bars! Sorry about that. If someone wants, I'll redo the video. If you maxamize the screen it shows up more.

Here's a pic of all the trades today, but with more clear price bars.

Sorry!
