I am not posting here usually, I am 1 contract scalping poor piker. For example today +30.40 in 2 scalps - I will not bother you with such screenshoot.
However it is special day for me. I moved my account to IB and started trading futures in end of February and lost during 3 bad days /one fat finger error, once disaster stop hit and once inbelievable stupidity when I was freezed and not able stop losing trade/ until end of May about third of my account.
Than I said - safety first and started trade this way. Compared to my simulated trading I am taking just trades where I am convinced on 99.99% to win.
Today I crossed above zero so my net PL on futures trading is positive.
36 positive days in row. From last 65 trading days just 3 negative.
I made 115 trades in September and 113 ended positive (including commish) 2 losses were small. I am 9% plus for the month.
Ok, consistency I have, now I can try start to make some money.

from last night- did not trade during the day today. not bad, but a frustrating LFT.
for the month... well, more frustration- at least i ended in the black this month: up ~33m.
given that i had days of:
-29,673
-35,423
-14,791
plus a couple other days -9m in september... i'm far from happy. could have been in a coma those 3 worst days and been over 110m for the month. c/w/shoulda...
what a waste.

Hello all. I am new to the thread, but hope to post a blotter for a bit to get back some confidence that was lost awhile ago. Perhaps posting to this thread will give me a little more motivation to stay on the plan and get the job done right.
About me - I trade 8am-Noon (EST). Currently placing all trades on the Stoxx but will take signals from the ES and place trades on the Stoxx. I choose the Stoxx b/c of great liquidity during the hours that I trade and is less of a spaz than the ES at times. I am done by Noon EST and a busy day for me would be up to 10 trades during that time. More average is about 2-4 trades.
