That program have a cumlative point gain/loss column or do we have to do the math ?
apologies: total PnL (papertrading) was down 6 ES handles. if you add it up, it was down 5.75; I kicked out one of the "winners" because it was due to a fat finger.
rock on.
Anyone hear from Jimbo? Just wondering how that short was working out.
i think his face melted last i checked. down 120 points mark to settle.
flipped my strategy.
had a string (5 or so) of 3 point pukes this morning. so now i'm,
-taking a 3 point winner
-puking a 5 point loser
will post results at day's end.
cheers.

yesterday's ratio (taking 5, puking 3), was almost a 100% failure rate. today's ratio (taking 3, puking 5), is (and i'm eyeballing here), is around a 75% success ratio.
generally, i'd "backtest" something like this, except i'm trying to trade based on gut feel (however I'm pretty certain my gut feel resembles Bollinger bands). literally, looking at the chart and saying, "spooz feel high" and selling them.
i take that back... i'm at a 50% success rate over 8 trades. i almost want to switch my buy and sell buttons and go nuts from there haha.
