  2. 6 turns.....634.30 net. Feeling good....felt the swing....both PC`s up and running..one more day til I take it live. And ironically I have breached the 40k number I was looking to gain prior to doing just that.

    USD$$$$$$$.......................nothing additional to say about the UUP.

  3. Day 1 - Game on

    Well, this trade was just too fine to pass up using a sim.

    A nice convergence of trendlines. Prior support turned resistance coupled with a 50% pullback after the post report selloff had me watering at the mouth for a short entry. Once price hit the underside of the overhead R it did breach...but came back on two fat tails in a row...I got short on the first long bear tail

    Sld 1 @ 1392..stop was set at 2 ticks above that down trendline and tgt was initially set at 1382. But after the breakdown from consolidation I felt it made sense to cover on a long bar. ES did eventually get to my target....pisser.

    Done for the day...1 turn

    +432.80 net

  5. 1 - confluence of trendlines post numbers for a short signal..upon entry on a stop I added another sell stop for one more below a tiny consolidation pattern. Both triggered.

    2 - coverd 1 on a long candle....coverd 2nd lot after breaching down trendline to the upside.

    3 - went long 1 upon breaching second down trendline.

    4 - sld 1 after todays px tapped underside of yesterdays low.

    Done for day...not trading tomorrow cause of Fed meeting.

    3 turns...335.90 net

    I dont really have any goals outside of trying not to do anything stupid. Been there, done that....

  6. I was super late to the party today. Didnt trade until 1 pm...still fkng with a new pc to get it right.

    Anyhow..chopped around. And was literally flat until my last trade....got short upon a trendline break(1)...then the buyers came in hard(2). I do not intentionally look for counter trend trades...I just take what my levels give me. Most of the time they work...sometimes they dont.

    Today they did not.

    Those buy/sell arrows on the chart are all fecked up...they are off by a bar or two..

    Kept losers small..unfortunatly winners never had a chance to make up for them.

    9 turns.. -$192.30 net
