  1. LSU..how about you let me trade your account :D

    But on a more serious note, I do plan on increasing size slowly. At times, I do take my position up to 3-5 ES. Maybe next week I'll try trading with 3 ES, then 5, then 10, then 20 :D

    P.S. Slept in this morning, so no trades today.

  9. January 26th (Monday)

    Total trades: 5 (1 Long, 4 Shorts) 1 Winner, 3 Losers, 1 Scratch

    8:42 AM - Short 1 ES 1141.25
    8:46 AM - Cover 1 ES 1142.25
    Result: -1

    9:07 AM - Short 1 ES 1140.50
    9:11 AM - Cover 1 ES 1141.50
    Result: -1.00

    9:26 AM - Short 1 ES 1141.25
    9:36 AM - Cover 1 ES 1141.25
    Result: 0
    Notes: Could've covered this at 1140 for a small profit, but I was expecting 1140 to break, in which case we would probably have tested the lows. NQ was weak, so I held on. Covered at B/E.

    9:48 AM - Long 1 NQ 1526.5
    9:49 AM - Exit 1 NQ 1527.5
    Result: +1

    1:22 PM - Short 1 ES 1145.00
    1:23 PM - Cover 1 ES 1147.00
    Result: -2
    Notes: Again, I put on a trade and left for work. I know I said I wouldn't do this, but at the time, I didn;t think 1147 would get taken out, so I put on a short, entered my stops and left.

    Overall:
    ES: -4.00
    NQ: +1

    Overall, a crappy day for me. Some patience was needed in the morning. Every entry would have worked out for profit, if I had held a little longer. I deserved to get stopped out in the afternoon trade. Broke my own rule.
