My Trades

Start with 1,800, should be around 50k by end of December.

30yr T Bond.

Max Loss 10
Target 15 unless otherwise stated
If price gets to +6, stop gets moved to 0.

1st Trade: Long @ 155040

 

Price is up 6, moving stop to entry. Logging off.

 

Winner. +15 points, +463.50 (468.75-5.25). Balance 2263.5

I have a an account with a larger balance which I am making these trades from, so the total may be a few cents off from actual, but close. Just want to show people what can be done with a small balance if you know what you are doing.

 

But very few people have your experience and they lack discipline, most can't wait to open an account and jump right in after reading "Day trading for Dummies" over the weekend. One of the hardest parts of trading is dealing with oneself, it like Golf, You against yourself.
Congrats.

 

Going long here at 155110. Normal stops and target.

 

Up 6, moving stop to entry.

 

0 pt loss. Went to -9, then +11, got out at even.

Day 2: -5.25. Balance $2,258.25

 

Going short here at 157060

 

Will wait for this one to hit +7 (156310) before stop gets moved to entry.

 

Why not sticking to your original plan?
