ET Swing Trade Competition Journal

  1. Stop loss raised to 1090.00 for 3 ES to lock in +4.25/contract if we take out the lows today. I'm still reading an uptrend today so rather than take profits up here near 1095, I'm going to let it ride some more.

    Summary:
    Long 5 ES @ 1085.75
    Sold 2 ES @ 1090.00 (+ 4.25/contract)

    Holding 3 Long ES.

    Sell Stop Loss @ 1090.00 for 3 contracts
    Closed P&L $425

  2. That post was from 12/19...not a few minutes ago? Still holding all those positions with one ADD at 1095...the position trade is now back at 100% size that I normally trade.

    Happy Holidays!

    Quote from T-REX:

    Stop moved to 1092.75 to lock in 6 ES points.

    L 5 ES @ 1086.75
    c 5 ES @ 1092.75
    ________________
    TOTAL = +6.00 Points

    6 X $250.00 = $1,500.00 profit


    NOW flat!

    5 X $250.00 = $1,250.00 profit (Yesterday)
    6 X $250.00 = $1,500.00 profit (Today)

    TOTAL 11.00 points in 2 trades in just 2 days = $2,750.00


    NOW FLAT!

    Happy Holidays to ALL!

  10. Sell stop hit on the overnight session - FLAT. Overall my trade execution wasn't the best on this trade - would have netted much more by taking profits in the vicinity of 1095, or closing position out at EOD today after price tested within .25 of my stop at 3:30 PM Eastern, but locked in a good profit nonetheless.

    Summary:
    Long 5 ES @ 1085.75
    Sold 2 ES @ 1090.00 (+ 4.25/contract)
    Sold 3 ES @ 1090.00 (+ 4.25/contract)

    Currently FLAT

    Closed P&L $1062.5
