The CL/NQ experiment

[Gabe2004]

I am not sure where this will go but for now I will just post performance charts.
Trades are taken in a SIM account.
Once I switch to a LIVE account, I will put up a notice.

Do you have a trading plan written to trade CL or are you discretionary?

 

[Gabe2004]

I have rules but I would not call it a plan.

 

[Gabe2004]

The day started with 2 losses but then I recovered.

 

[NoDoji]

Do you ever average down on a losing trade?

 

[Gabe2004]

I used to but not any more.
I would average up though.

 

[Gabe2004]

I am trading 2 contracts per entry to a maximum of 6 but so far, in the time represented by my 2 previous charts, the maximum was 4 which is far less than my live account could handle.

 

[Gabe2004]

Having internet connectivity today so not much trading.

Brother Gabe, why did you choose CL?

 

[Gabe2004]

I am in a Skype room where one of the successful traders was trading CL so I looked at it and it fit my trading style, so I went with it.
