Hi, I am using RefcoExpress because I am mainly trading open outcry markets (spreads). I am not a big day trader and for the spread trading the time factor is not such a big deal. My backup...yes, my telephone to the broker! Internet is really up to date here in the Dom Rep and very reliable. I didn't have ANY problem at all the last 1 1/2 years. Regards Andy
Sorry Guys, there is not much going on in this journal I know. But I just can not find the time. Also my spread trading journal looks very boring. My traveling is over in about a week and I hope I will get some action when I get back to trading. Anyway...happy trading to everyone. I hope you are all making money. Andy Jordan
Hi Traders, I am going to activate my journal again. Because I am not able to spend much time for day trading every day I will only look for some scalp trades (all in - all out). I will try to catch only a few ticks with a lot of contracts in the morning hours CST. Just using 1-2-3 and the RH for my entry on a 10 min chart and 500 tick chart. Please forgive me but I am not going to post any charts, I just don't find the time but I will let you know the time frame I was trading, the entry and the time for the entry. It will be easy for you to see the trade on your own charts. I will trade a hypothetical $20k account. Let's see how everything goes. Happy trading everyone, Andy Jordan

Trade I did a scalp trade this morning: Ross Hook on 10 min chart. 4 x short at 10:10 AM CST the Euro at 1.2664 with a target/stop of 8 ticks. Filled at 1.2656 a few minutes later. Hyp. profit $400 - commission of $32 (I am calculation 8$ round turn) = $368. Hyp. account now at $20,368.
Trade 07/25 Just by chance I switched over to see what the ES is doing in the afternoon and I jumped in on a Ross Hook at 1272.57 with 4 contracts for 4 ticks. All this just happend at 14:13 PM CST on a 500 tick chart. I could cash in $200 - $32 commission = $168. Hyp. account at $20,536.-
Trade 07/25 Again the same storry. Long ES at 1276.00 on a RH on 500 tick chart at 2:27 AM CST for 4 ticks. Hyp. profit $200 - $32 commission = $168 Hyp. account now at $20,704. I am done for today. Andy
Trade 07/26 Even if it was not really a strong market I tried a long trade on the euro based on a 500 tick chart. Long at 10:00 AM at 1,2664 for 5 ticks with 5 contracts. Hyp. loss -$375 - commission $40 = -$415. Hyp. account now at $20,289. Happy trading Andy
Trade 07/26 Scalp trade on the Russell, 1-2-3 high, 1000tick chart. Short at 699.2 (slippage) for 12 ticks at 2:40 PM, 4 contracts. Could make $480 - commission $32 = $448. Hyp. account now at $20,737. Happy trading, Andy
Hi Andy! Nice to see you back in day-trading. The e-mini Russell 2000 has been a wonderful market for scalping these past several months. Hopefully this will continue!... Questions: 1) What kind of a price stop are you using? Is it the same as your target? 2) Also, how about a time stop? Thanks!
