What are you using to determine your entries and exits. Indicators, S&R, Flipping a coin... what? So far you are trading a system.... but any information would actually make this thread useful, how you are trading, how many trades you average per day, and yap yap yap. But good going so far, when I gave up on stocks because of the 25k rule, and switched to futures.
Jmowery, For stocks I hold for more than a few days, I like to look at the trend on a weekly chart using MA, RSI and go with the trend. For day trade scalping I use everything except flipping a coin. As far as this not being a useful thread, that hasnât stop anyone else, lol. I just started this to keep track of my results, not how got them, and since Iâm having to deal with PDT rule, you can see I only complete two or three trades per week, sometimes less. Good luck to you on your futures trading in 2006
the results are good so far. can u disclose your commission rate? and how much volume u do on the trades? thx
Dividend, Thanks, I use IB so Iâm paying .005 per share. The volume varies, Iâve done as few as 50 and several 1000 share trades.
