Quote from gambler2075:
Oh, I see...
actually I am up ~134% this year, and 542% last year, which was an awesome year.
Lots of risk, though. And this is my 8th year trading...

just wonder gambler, but are you automated to, or are you manually trading.
Manually trading, based on gut instincts.

Opening read--Daily: up Hourly: up Intraday: up
Today's issues:
o Kept shorting into support & hesitated on the 1 good short.
o Zero % on shorts! Is it any wonder given the opening read ...
o Forcing trades, dead market, quit after 90 minutes.
Day-by-day March results attached.

POT opened oversold after yesterdayâs selloff, so I looked for long entry. Saw the HL and entered just before the test of previous R, caught a beautiful b/o, but left a lot on the table exiting on the initial pause.
Then I overtraded POT back and forth, try to create something where there was nothing and giving IB $16 commish to net about $6. At least I was trading small. I knew the kind of trouble this leads to and so I decided to stop trading live and get over my issues with CL sim vs CL live by putting on a couple sim trades at places I never would, with wide stops, just to prove to myself that Iâm good at trading it even with poor entries, and sure enough made $289 simbucks on 2 trades with 1 lot.
Later shorted POT off the LH, regular size, caught a great move.
After a strong move down, ES tried to find support, then suddenly had that âIâm gonna pukeâ look to it and I shorted just below 1160 and scalped 2.5 pts, but was really hoping for a quick break below 1155.
Ready to short POT once more late in the day and it dropped over 20 ticks before I could react.
Goal Monday: Trade CL
