Hi.........
First post this week.
best week and month for me so far.
$2800 Monday
$3800 Tuesday
$2400 Today.
I have been positve 14 out of the last 15 days!
Since I am starting to carry positions overnight, there is a small window of about 30 seconds after the bell when I can do a screen capture....otherwise the bids drop off on nyse stocks. So, i have been missing the daily blotters.
Ill post my mark to market blotter at the end of the week from my firm.
everyone, have a great night.

Lost quite a bit on that nasty index squeeze and that MER conference tank, so I was quite happy to have ended 0 today. Not a very good week uptill now (missed monday).

Just after making the prior post, ES gave a buy signal at 1503 that lasted for several bars. I pondered taking the trade, setting stop at 1501 and letting it go until my return. Instead, I shut down the platform and walked away. :eek:

Here are my results from last night's trading (mini Nikkei morning session only):
net +8300 yen (~$72.54)
net +8300 yen (~$72.54)
+500 5 ES contracts
Once I threw away all the indicators, etc, last week and went by price action only, my trading as improved as I wait for a particular setup to execute.
10/17 332.50 -- 2 trades
10/18 437.50 -- 1 trade
10/19 (625.00) -- Broke my rules and overtraded
10/23 (1,125.00) -- Broke my rules and overtraded
10/24 1,125.00 -- 1 trade
10/25 500.00 -- 1 trade
I've noticed that if I trade more, I lose more. I need to be content with 1-2 points per day.

At the dentist until 11am est, so missed huge swings and honey-sweet shorts & longs while trapped in that miserable chair. Good news is, no root canal needed... just sensitive teeth. Bad news, missed the early fireworks.
From there it remained miserable. Stopped out for -1pt on several trades that went +2 or more and back in my face.
Missed fills on two shorts by couple of ticks that blew down the charts without me.
Exited shorts 1521.50 for +4pts gain at 11:51:10 est, final pause before they immediately crushed to <1516 afterwards.
In any event, +2.25pts per ES contract and done early. Too many mistakes, but we survived. +12 / -4 / +10 / +2 ES for the week meets our long-term objectives of +40pts monthly minimum. Operator error is averaged into those expectations
