ES Swing Trading Journal

Discussion in 'Journals' started by Raystonn, Aug 11, 2006.

  1. I will be making trades at the open of every ES trading session. (This means 4:30PM Eastern Time Sunday through Thursday.)

    Within a few minutes (hopefully within one minute) of entering my position I will post the trades here. (The lag in entering my trades should not be a huge problem considering this is swing trading. Why post afterwards? I want to avoid front runners.)

    All trades will be market orders. No limits or stops will be used for profit targets or stop losses.

    I have rebased the account size and will be giving single contract trades for a theoretical starting account size of $16,000. Commissions of $2.40 per contract per side will be factored into final results.

    The first trade will be Sunday 8/13/2006 (at 4:30PM Eastern Time, as usual).

  3. Sorry, that price was actually 1274.50. Current status is long @1274.50 until at least the next trading day. (I will continue to hold unless stated otherwise.)
