trying to become a successful trader - journal of a journey

e-mini wannabe,

I like the posts with the chart setups. Looks pretty good btw I think you will do great tight stops, bigger wins is the name of the game.

Curious though since I don't trade minis, when it says 5,875 profit is that points or dollars? How much does it translate into in dollars?

Keep up the good trading
 
Hi birddog!

Yes, I think thats the key at all. Cut the losers short and the let the profits run. Really not a new recognition.

5.875 profits meens points.
Every point in the E-mini ES is worth 50$
Every point in the E-mini NQ is worth 20$

At the moment I´m trading exclusively the ES.

good trading!
 
Hi all!

Very interested in your journal and the way you display your results. You have inspired me to start my own journal to help me with my e-mini trading. I was wondering if you could tell me what your method is for getting screen shots and converting them to PDF files....

Look forward to seeing today results....
 
Hi quamism!

for the screenshots I´m using www.snagit.com
Works real fine.

For the .pdf I´m using the Adobe Acrobat. Its a plugin for microsoft word. So I design the journal in word and convert it to .pdf.

Good luck with your journal!!
