I've had far better weeks with even larger percentage gains. The problem is I always gamble it all away.

What did you mean by "gamble it all away"?

Day 6 you had $71222. Day 1 you had $27031. Gamble it all away: did you mean resetting back to $27031? Or to zero? (How can it be going to zero trading equity?)

On Day 6, perhaps you can take out $27031 then even if you "trade it to zero" you still have the original amount?

Why the cynicism? This kind of trading success is possible. Look - here's the proof :

ya gotta watch that overtrading in day 7. even though your results were ok, i guess, it shows a lack of discipline...
 
Quote from Marc to Market:

I've elected to start this journal retroactive to 3/27/09. Prior to 3/27/09, I was extremely inconsistent, undisciplined, and unprofitable. I'm hoping this journal will help change that going forward.

I will try to update this thread at the close of every trading day.

I encourage haters, non-believers, and anyone who's jealous of my success to respond and participate in this thread. I plan on turning their negativity into positive energy and motivation towards making my million bucks. :p

since you registered back in '02, seems a bit late in the game to being going off the reservation with fantasy blotters. only becasue of your '02 date do i give this even a notice (that, and i've had similar runs and, likewise, pissed them away in a single day- like yesterday, for instance).

so, to even make this worth watching at all, you really need to post real blotters. i'm assuming microsoft isn't your broker, so you've got a blotter from your broker. post it. if you don't know how to fake a 'real' blotter, i'm sure several here could show you ...

Now i am trying to figure out which of my indicators was to blame. I will definately keep using my Bollinger Bands, RSI and MACD. They are great. I could try removing Market Profile but not sure if I should.

It's funny how life is.........

I don't use any indicators, but couldn't think of trading without Market Profile ! In fact, I don't even need a chart, just MP, the chart is there for visual stimulation !
 
Quote from Marc to Market:

I'll make $30K to $50K over the course of a week or two,

I look forward to updating this thread every day and seeing more and more haters responding...
You are confusing "haters" with "normal" people. It is "attention seekers" who put up bizarre threads who have the problem.

But you will not get this. Seriously.

It looks like your average trade is about $18 ($49600 total profit divided by about 2700 trades). Is that correct?

How did you manage to make 2700 trades in just a few days? Are you running some sort of automated trading system?

The other thing to point out is that your broker must be very happy. I estimate you paid about $13000 in commissions in 8 days.
 
Yes, that is correct.

I am not running a black box. I am making all of these trades myself.

Due to my volume, I was able to negotiate a ticket rate of under $2. Therefore, my commissions for those 2700 trades were closer to $5K than $13K.
