number of trades 4, 3 NQ and 1 FESX NQ = - $115 FESX = +E10 ($15) commission: $20 TOTAL: -$120 I don't see any particular error actually, the problem is always when to take profit (I was up $95 with first trade and $134.29 on my last trade), I re-entered after I said it was my last trade, and if my stop was it, I would have closed the day at a little from my max daily loss, but I really liked those res, the most important thing now for me is to respect my max daily loss and don't overtrade. I have to said that I'm so tempted to enter long again ad I like those european supp a lot, and maybe if I was not keeping a trading journal I would have gone long again, but this journal is helping me to refrain from bad habits.
just posting my US supports, just to check tomorrow if they worked, when they don't work, the max daily loss will protect me.
long 1 on fesx, there is a support, but just on fesx, dax opened on a resistance and went a little down but supports on dax are a little lower, it would have been better to wait a little, stop tight at -$59,52 (coverted from euro)
gaining 59.52 and trailed a little (2 ticks) for a stop of 29.75 now, trailed a little earlier anyway. as I'm posting with a little delay I'm gaining 104.18
problems with my pc, I have only 2 monitors working (normaly I have 6) and have to change one video card, so I post only now what I've done: I went long NQ 1 contract on multilple supports, but I don't know why tradestation displayed 2 contracts, I was not even sure I was long 2, I connected with tradestation website to check out and they said 1, so I decided to close the position and check out, so it seams that I was long 2 contracts and closed with a profit of $155, stop for today because I need to fix the monitors issue.
number of trades 2, 1 FESX and 1 NQ NQ = + $155 FESX = -E10 (-$15) commission: $15 TOTAL: + $122 trade on fesx was up $134 but I closed it at -$15, no problem, for now I'm focusing on controlling losses, anyway as I already said I have problems with taking profits, I'll work on it. second trade on NQ there was an error with tradestation and I entered 2 contracts instead of 1, but TS website reported 1 contract, so I had to close the position with a gain of $155, the market is going up in my direction now, I don't know where I would have close it.
stop trailed at -20$ 1 tick under the daily high, as I think that if the market goes near the daily high it will break up and catch my stop.
