  1. No trades today. If anybody asks, I was short just before the sell off in the YM. Mail my check. Be back next week.:p

  2. 9 days traded (8 1/2 actually)

    • 48 Postions Taken
    • 29 Sucessful
    • 15 Failed
    • 4 Breakeven
    60% Successful (counting B/E as failures)

    Total P/L = +55.75 Points

    1 contract = $2,875


    I plan to keep this up until I reach a positive P/L of $5000.

    Each trade above was listed in "real time" in the journal. If you are so inclined, you can review each one.

    Happy July 4th everyone. Take some R&R.

  6. You're still up, man...hehe

    No, if you live on the east coast, your post should show 12:43.

    Central time is 11:43, right now.


    I guess that's how it works. Hell, I don't know.

    Anyway, I'm central...

  7. Hope everybody had a nice Holiday weekend. Just wanted to let you know I have got the MSN Group up and open. It's a little primitive. Needs content. Check it out if you get a chance.

    I think it will be a nice supplement to the journal here on ET. Trying to keep the calendar up to date, chat room, and historical results are stored here.

    Any questions, let me know.

  9. VT - I'm still trying to figure out your filter. For example, why would you have NOT taken the 1-min short at about 10:13 this morning ?

    Thanks

  10. 2 reasons

    1. One of my stochastics on the 3M was not pointed down
    2. Only an idiot would go short unless everything lined up:)
