    I recently left job and would like to give me one year to see if I could be a full time trader and trade for a living.


    I will use naked charts, use purely trend line, support and resistance to day trade gold GC and ES.

    I like GC for its movement during night session.

    I will trade mostly one contract, occasionally 2-3 use 1 minute 15 min and 60 min charts.

    will post my day trading result here daily.

    Currently, my biggest concern is to enforce stop loss because sometimes I will hold a position and endure a possible big loss because I thought I am staying with the main trend. I have had a 20s point down and did not cut loss, this is my big problem.


    My purpose here is to force me follow stop loss rule and get more disciplined, I sincerely welcome any suggestion, comment, or help.

    The following is result from for last week.
