  1. We have to wait patiently for their responses to our requests (to show evidences - Real-time ones). Ha! :D :D :D

  2. I just did the calculation on my trades: $647.60/9 = $71.96 or 1.44 pts.

  3. Looks like Aug 8th was a nice day for you. What about the days since then? Not trying to say anything, but one day of profit doesn't mean much. Bye for now, this loser still has a job.

  4. No, that is the last day I traded and kept results. I traded yesterday about 6 times with the 'disasterous' results I already posted about when I started this line of thought. As I said, my nine days of trading yielded roughly $600 in profits that amounts to about 1.44 pts. a day.

    My purpose in posting those results was to show you one of my good days. I only have the overall statistics for all 9 days trading. That is where I got the figures of $1200 in commissions and $600 in profits.

    I find it hard to believe people are so embarassed about posting their averages. I'm not being smug. However, I hardly think I am the only trader who is keeping track. Don't think this is easy to do. I've had bad days, too.

  5. Thanks Bruce. I think what you did that day was absolutely excellent for so many good trades. Your captured more than 100% of the daily range, and 90% win.

    It seems you could improve further if let the profitable trades running longer. What do you think?

  7. Did you modify your system during the many days? I believe so (because you want to try for improvements?).

  8. It is hard letting them go. Like was said, I am stuck. I went down almost $600 yesterday trying to change to a different time frame. I have to make the change I know. But like was said, I will have to continue to scalp until the new way of trading can support itself. Thank you for recognizing my achievement. I've never done 21 in a row before.

    Many thanks.

    Bruce.:cool:

  9. It does for me if I click on my original post. It doesn't work if I click on your quoted post.
