  1. Hi Johnny,

    On a day when you make around 50 trades, approximately how much do you pay in commissions?

  4. Another productive day. I really like the action so far this month. Lots of intraday swings in the indexes provides lots of opportunities in individual stocks.
    I'm particularly proud of today's avg. win/avg. loss ratio, almost to 3:1.

  6. Didn't get to trade as much as I would like (too many distractions), therefore I concentrated on quality over quantity. Things worked out well. The large max loss was due to very wide spread on that particular stock.

    Winners: 6
    Losers: 7
    Win %: 46
    Avg Win $: 90

    Max Loss $: -143
    Win$/Loss$: 1.99
    Gross P/L: 269

  8. My system is based on price action, no indicators just very basic charts (5 min & 1 min). I will glance at daily sometimes for certain types of setups. Also watching the ES constantly throughout the day to judge the general market sentiment and overall bias (long/short).
