Diary of a very bad trader!

Purposely refused more trades than usual today, as to reduce my number of trades per day (as was advised to me)

I don't know how i'd describe the action in CL today, but it's perfect for how I look at the market. If only it always traded like this (whatever 'this' is)

 

Today (Wednesday):

 

BTFD, of course!

 

Thur(last trade of the day was a particular sickener)

 

Do you have any sort of a trading plan at all?

 

yes

 

And what were the results of your testing?

 

Profitable over my sample of 300 days or so (tested manually).

(average 8 trades per day, so around 2500 trades)

 

And is this confirmed in your real-time trading?

 

It was for about 4-5 months or so. (although not quite as good. Still profitable though)

Then came a bad patch, then lots of break-even days, and then....then a patch which inspire this thread!

In fact, since starting this thread results haven't been as spectacularly bad as they were shortly prior to its inception.

p.s Currently short 94.18
