I was moved Wed to a building with no Wifi. Can't trade at the moment. Thankfully my time with the AF and Nursing is coming to an end. I don't need either anymore. Mon was +100, Tu was -600. I was trading 6 lots.
Traded today... +$985, not bad for 15 minutes. Only 3 lot bc military has me out of sync. Palace chase is tempting...
Finally got to trade yesterday and today. +200 W, +900 Th Today is a reminder how mechanical markets are. Major trend reversals and minor continuations occurred in very predictable locations. I've revised my plan to include stacking as many reasons as I can to take a trade, without getting too complex. To take a trade, I have 2 main criteria, but adding more seems to increase odds of success, though I haven't come up with stats to confirm it. This year, my entries are perfect. I just need to work on my exits... My initial position was worth at the max (3 ctx * 20 pts * 100$/pt = $6,000) but I scaled out for $900. In order to get to the level I want, I need to be able to do nothing for hours... which most sane people have trouble with. I have also been accused of having ADD, but I'm pretty sure it's just has to do with my interest levels. The second trade I took today. Made a mistake and bought accidentally, but didn't hold nearly long enough. And there was no good reason to get out - all the waveforms were saying on downward.
-700 Fri Took 2 trades; Exited one of my positions too early. I was running around and couldn't focus and was trading off my phone. I probably deserve it for handicapped trading.
The final value in my spreadsheet was off by a marginal fraction but it bothered me so... I decided to redo it with just monthly totals. I'm still not actively trading, and sized down to 1-3 contracts after I had that losing month.
