Trader P/L 2010

Gonna start posting my PnL here. Early day for me. Drank at the bar last night, tired, and need to go to my real job after the market closes, so i need a nap. So i'm quitting early.

**Note only trading 1 ES contract until I make $1,000 more as my account will then support it**

1st trade of the day cost me 1 ES point as there was a problem with my software. had to call and get it fixed. Ended up getting filled 3 ticks more than I wanted to. Shouldnt have taken the trade as I lost 1 point instead of 1 tick.

All in all, fair day.

+$60.90..... +1.5 ES points Gross

updated gain: $3971.88 not real

tried no stop loss with 2 full lot of crude


Quote from trader198:

$207.04

tested stop loss strategy, realized hard stop loss is hard to manage volatilty.
the problem is I may enter a little bit early, better wait a little bit longer and see the setup, basically I am a counter-trend trader. hate to see the market stop me out and then leave without me! should get nice return today.

I smashed in the face by a broker upgrade.

All the stocks that are near/around earnings are killing system performance, so I need to actively go out of my way to start filtering for earnings +/- 2 days and also avoid any day on which there is an upgrade.
 
+$128.10 +2.75 ES Points on 1 contract.

Went long about 15 minutes ago at 1194, exited at 1196 even though the market was still going up. Exited b/c I couldnt focus, $ was affecting my emotions.

Having trouble controlling my emotions today. So I'm calling it quits early. ES is up another 2 points in 5 mins, had I held.

But some days markets affect you more, pyschologically than others. And you need to know when to quit.

Today, the luck factor definitely played into this noob's favor. I pretty much caught the entire overnight downdraft for both ES and CL. Good thing I went to bed early, otherwise my itchy finger would have prematurely pushed the exit trigger. The flip side is that I lost 50-ticks trading CL in the RTH session.
