  1. Hi dgoetz, I can see your one :cool: :cool: dude. Plenty of nice trades. I like your "contrarian" style. unfortunately I have been "murdered" a couple of times trying to do this (check my T3 today). Nice tip to check market depth though.

    I will continue analyze your trades tomorrow (don't have time right now). Please feel free to post more of your trades if you like.

  4. ...I'm sorry I couldn't capitalize on them. Well, my day will come.

    The trades:

    Code:
    Day	Trade #	Type	B/S	Time	Price	B/S	Time	Price	Quant.	Gross	Net	Time
    												
    1-Oct	1	ESZ2	BOT	13:08	825.75	SLD	13:12	826.75	1	50.00	45.20	0:04:50
    Day 17	2	ESZ2	SLD	13:28	833.25	BOT	13:31	833.00	1	12.50	7.70	0:02:53
    Rev. B	3	ESZ2	BOT	13:38	832.50	SLD	13:39	831.00	1	-75.00	-79.80	0:01:29
    												
    	Total								3	-12.5	-26.9	0:03:04
    
    T1: OK. Auto exit.
    T2: At the moment I made the trade, it seemed Ok, but after looking to tha chart I wonder what I was thinking. Cranked the stop up to my max, which probably saved me and gave me a small win.
    T3: Thought an uptrend had developed, and wanted to get in on it. Sold at 831.0 Now about an hour later the index is at 838....
    System: OK

    Thinking about implementing a trailing stop. Looking at my trades today and yesterday, some more money would probably have been made using a trail. Not sure what pt trail to use though....
