My results so far in this journal are: ESTX50: +229 in 51 RTs (+ 2 open trades settled at +29 tonight) SMI: +126 in 24 RTs GBL: -88 in 57 RTs Not bad in ESTX50 and SMI for less than a month's trades. Obviously I have trouble with the Bund, so i won't get into more than 1 contracts at a time anymore until I see some improvement. If anyone has any tips, now it's the time to speak up! I may consider to stop trading it altogether if it keeps going on like that. Also, I will increase the initial size for ESTX50 to 2 contracts.
that was really bad luck with the gbl. turned around and went right up after you were stopped out. i´ve been watching the smi lately, not as jumpy as the dax. that was a nice entry, what made you decide to go short at 8370? the fact that it closed the gap to the bottom of the previous day?
