    Slightly different than the above post due previous open equity etc.

  5. Daily P/L, enclosed.

    FWIW, I have been trading single lots or their equivalent for most parts. 1 Car per $10,000 capital available(albeit except when push comes to shove!). As of next week, I'll start the Transition to 2 e-mini contracts per trade(won't rush it though).

    The Votes stand at 161 Total and 64% Yes Vs. 34% No.

  10. Actually I did have quite a few problems!
    First and foremost, got a little careless when reached a high of $22.5k and took my eyes off the ball and the market quickly corrected the lack of humbleness and took me back down to $18.2k…
    Well that aside, also picked up a couple of viruses, while running with no firewall or AV and downloading exe dos files and running them too on my trading computer…caused me to switch off my modem since the damn thing was opening like 200 ports at the same time and rather than backing up my work and format the drive, spent a few precious days to root the viruses unsuccessfully and eventually doing what had to be done from the beginning in the first place.
    Finally managed to get back into trading by Wed. and, in the last 3 days did +437, +453 & +$600.
    The accounts stands at $19,696 and 1 more trading day left this month.
    All in all, the outcome is the result of like 10 trading days in total and the daily average stands at about 1% per day, since I am not compounding and by just doing a little more than 2% everyday will get me back on target soon.

    Thanks for your concern shortie.

    Will post statements later.
