Trader P/L 2010

+132 in ES

Cable modem down for morning. I'd have caught the bottom for sure ;)

Then in pm, a perfect entry (1 tick heat), price went straight up 8 pts, but I bailed with +1. ES contract switchover day: I traded off the June contract chart, but entered on the DOM in the March contract, got puzzled up, so I bailed. Solid read, not so solid trading.

Daily summary for month attached: divide # trades by 3. Tradestation counts each target on an OSO as a separate trade.

+241 today +1558 for week.

Royally messed up at the open, moved the stop on 2nd entry try, down 3 pts right off the bat.

Lesson: Take the stop, if the market didn't respect the support I picked, I'll be able to find another entry.

Just one live trade today, one of the most technically perfect trades I’ve ever done. Short AMZN @ 133.17, on the breakdown through the low of the 9:57am 3-min bar after putting in a lower high. Held until full stochastics were fully oversold and covered @ 131.53 when price pivoted off the 131.29 low.

Solid profits sim trading CL again and just one final hurdle to overcome (letting winners run) before I feel good about trading it live on a regular basis..

day (463.5)
week 957

stupid trading today. gold seems it will break through 1110, and I tried three times, and tried bottom fishing at 1101, gee, that went through and I got killed, then rebound without me, all proved to me I am an idiot.

then shorted Natural gas in the drop, another oops, killed in the rebound, then have no nerve to short it when it tested 4.42.

bought ARO at the 28.2 with 100lot, then did not take profit and forced to take profit in the drop, still not good.

bought IPI at 30.6 with 100lot, then think about ARO lesson, take profit prematurely (my initial target is 31.8+).

finally seized crude in the last drop at 80.65, rode it to 81ish and toke profit too early (my target is 81.3)

my lesson is I watched too many symbols, did not focus on major setup. when loss came, became nervous, and seriously affected my next trading decision, let bad trades control me.


called it a day since it almost kissed my maximum daily loss
