Quote from adamm2:

Part of my problem is I am still trying to catch tops and bottoms at night. What can I say, I've made 10k in a couple of nights trading like that.



I need to remind myself that I lose money almost just as fast with this method...

@ 14.7k

Wish I kept my long on I did last night (2 x ES @ 1235)

I was a greedy asshole and had to follow my rules, which call for waiting for more of a pullback before entering on an uptrend. We were at a safe entry point however..

Equity curve as of 31 Oct 11.

Still trading. Going to try to create more of an edge for myself. This curve is basically trading based on discretion (I will admit to attempting to use the volume at price points to determine entry, and exit, but it was all based on my judgment, so it wasn't very mechanical) and without much of a method. It shows even with this approach, you can make money, but it's very difficult. By the way my commissions surpassed 5k for this period... going to cut way back on the sizing, and frequency. I'm giving my broker too much... Also commissions are subtracted at the end, so keep that in mind. I think I said before, I'll post these monthly, as I get my monthly statements.

I am making progress, which is good. Typically I would have blown out by now. My first goal is to extract my 25k tuition....
