    I don't show commissions because people have different rates.

    I use IB and the rate is $4.80 r/t.

    This day was hard. There was a good trade late in the day @ 979.50 long that was good for 2 points. But it was late in the day, so I did not take it.

    Some did though.

    Still we did okay.

    Had ISP connection problems this morning, so I had to use dial-up for awhile.

    Managed to do okay today, but 1 bad trade did me in.

    I decided to ride on the first trade which worked out well.

    Not a great week, but profitable.

    This one of the worst days I have had in a long time.

    I started off baddly taking two hits immediately. And there was no recovery from them all day.

    This market is really getting hard to trade.

    The chart is a sample of what I am looking at.

  5. This looks like the opposite of my day, I got the large shorts in the morning but later got nailed on trying to get the reversals. Eventually I got one reversal at the end of the day to put me in the green :)

  7. You seem to have discovered the Holy Grail! Your daily average seems to be north of 3.5 points/day with hardly any negative days.

    What am I supposed to make of this dbanks? If you are for real, and I have no reason to doubt you except my general skepticism about "too good to be true" stories, then it is at least a challenge to all the other top traders on this board to show they can equal or better your record.

    I for one (a bottom trader) am struggling to maintain 2.85 points/day this month with a win/loss ratio of only 62 percent. Pathetic compared to your record. - rcm.

    Not a bad day....One of those days when you wish you had not had the last 3 trades.

    Not a bad day.

    The afternoons was lousy and dull. However, the swing trades were in heaven with the swings that came today.

    I did not take the last big down swing after 3:00 since I was not comfortable with it and it was late in the day, but it was a big one.
