Covered ES Long @ 87.50 (MOC) +6.25. Cumulative P/L: -9 (Nine Trades) Such a flat day, despite the FOMC, CrAAPLe, etc. Still nice that ES closed at the HOD. Need some volatility to push the market and get the VSS out of drawdown.
Long ES @ 1383.75, Target 93.75, Stop @ 73.75. Good home sales number seems to be outweighing the Unemployment number. Looking forward to getting "back in black" today.
Covered ES Long @ 93.75 +10. Cumulative P/L: +1 (Ten trades) Not sure what is driving the rally today, but happy that the VSS is out of drawdown. Let the good times roll!!
Thanks to Julio Iglesias and the rest of the Spanish nation, we've got a pretty good shot at another profitable day on Friday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOifaUXPk4g I love it when the ES sells of after-hours because of some downgrade, brain-fart, or whatever else the market uses to justify selling off when the majority of retail traders are unable to capitalize.
What are you using to factor in comm. and slippage? It would be enlightening to post results with and without these.
No slippage, as I am posting actual (sim account) entries/exits. Commission is $4/roundturn. So with that added into the mix, the VSS has made a whopping $10 in ten trades. And they said trading for a living would be "Easy Money." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fScy9BgPEs
I think with realistic fills, the happy face would be a sad face...just sayin'. This seems to me to be an exercise in futility.
Dude, really?? I post real time entries and exits, complete with a 20+ point drawdown, and then you say the results are inaccurate?? I enter the market at the open each day...LONG ONLY, as per the rules of the system. I have posted screenshots of my positions, along with the corresponding Target and Stop. I exit the trade at one of three points, STOP, TARGET, or MOC (Market On Close). Have you taken the time to read thru the entire thirteen pages of this thread, or just the last page and then you start with the bashing?? Holy cheese and rice, no wonder people get torqued with this site.
If you had a post about "Breathing", the idiots would be telling you they don't believe you do that or your holding your breath, breathing from a tank, your dead or want a detailed backtest of your breathing stats with targets.
Thanks for the reminder, Handle123. Guess I "Let the liquor do the thinking" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8RBq7NCRrk "I sense a shit-derailment coming..."
