Plan for next month: Keep the current strategies and try to improve per trade average profits.

Today's trade:

+504, down all morning, tightened up my criteria, became extra disciplined and just chipped away.

-1100

Traded strictly futures from home today. Very distracted, did not spend more than 2 hours in front of the screen. Gaps are rare for the ES and NQ so I went short after the indexes toped out looking for a reversal. Was up 400 but then ES/NQ made new highes and i got out -400. Some insane revenge trading and i'm down -1150. Turned computer off at 3:30 right before that sick down move. Whatever, I've never been so content with such a huge loss, deserved every penny of it. Kind of love futures though. They provide more leverage than most prop firms, lower commisions, better tax treatment, tons of liquidity and very little manipulation.

made a whopping 40$ 6700 total for the month should easily be the top graduate at swift trade this month

Probably 1/20th of what Millineum made today, but I'll take it.

Once I get my new rate, its on.

Its 1.00pm, Nice morning and good start to the trading month.

Hopefully will build on the gains the rest of the week, will not trade through the fed number, too many errands to run today.

Cheers to all - have a killer month.
