  1. Trade

    My LH-PB spread did great today and did carsh in some money. Unfortunately my fill was not really good but this happens when trading Pork Bellies.

    I got out with one contract set at -14.50 today 05/10.

    Happy trading

  2. Trade

    I really got hammered with SM-BO today. I got out at the close at $2,010.

    Hyp. loss on this trade is -$2,240 - commission of $150 = -$2.390.

    Hyp. account now at $51,121.

    Well, I am working now for over 5 month and I am back to break even.

    Is there anything I can do? Not much, I just have to try to stay alive. The big winner is just around the corner.

    Happy trading

  3. Trade

    My mental trailing stop on the LH-PB got hit yesterday and I got out this morning with my last contract at -16.5.

    Hyp. Profit on this trade is $1,420 - commission of $60 = $1,360.

    Hyp. account now at $52,481.

    I am flat at the moment. As you can see my trading account is going nowhere at the moment. But this is how it works. Try to stay in the water till the next big wave moves you up.

    Happy trading everyone,

  4. I am getting ready for my trip to Germany next week. Therefore I did not much trading. I did enter FCQ6 - LCQ5 but got out today around break even (made about $500 - commission). I did not hold the spread when the report comes out tomorrow. If it looks ok I will enter again.

    Happy trading

  7. Trade - 21.06.

    Finally some action. I entered the following spread yesterday 06/20.

    3 x LCV6 - LHV6 at 24.4 with a risk of $800 and a target of 28 or higher. Basis is seasonality and a 1-2-3 low.

    I took already profit on one lot at 25.65 even if it didn't move up to my first target (26.4).

    Let's see if this one keeps on moving my way.

    Will post the profit/loss when the trade is over.

    Happy trading

  8. Trade - 6/27

    Yesterday I did enter the following trade:

    5 x WU6 - CU6 @ 151 1/2, risk $530/spread, basis seasonal and a 1-2-3 low.

    I did already kick out 2 contracts at 160 today 06/27.

    I also did cash in 1 contract of my LC-LH trade at 28.8 and will now trail my last contract.

    I will post profits/loss when the trade is over.

    Happy trading,

  9. Trade - 6/29

    I did exit my LC-LH spread yesterday. The spread fell below my mental stop around the stop. My fill was pretty good at 28.30.

    Hyp. profit on this trade is $3,820 - commission of $90 = $3,730.

    Hyp. account is now at $56,211.

    Have all a nice weekend,

  10. Good to see that you are back. I got sidetracked and have not been to EliteTrader in a good while. I will take the time to read the entire thread. I look forward to chatting with you about trading ag spreads.
