Sim trading p&l 2009

+162.50

long 5 ticks, quick trade

short 8 ticks, painfully slow

 

ouch.
Rough with the smooth.
losing day - (-270$)
couldn't do anything right.

 

+1,392.10

Pretty good day! Only 1 losing trade. Been sticking to my trading plan religiously for about 6 weeks now. Of course I don't know if I can keep my cool as well if it's real money

 

+$39

I had to take care of other things after first hour... tweaked the strategy just a tad, tweaked the computer a bit, and Ninjatrader and TWS as well.. I should be good to go from this point really... time will tell.... and yeah, it might make me a little nervous to trade real money... I'm not thinking of doing that until this work is second nature......

 

($327)

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory all day

 

another loser.
Would any 'real' ES traders who happen to be reading this thread say that its been tough this week or just me?

Also, someone mentioned that on the real pnl thread, all the consistent winners all trade stocks rather than futures? Are they easier?

Anway - down - (-$204)

However, still positive about $450 on the WEEK

 

+500.00 today
+2378.95 week

Just one trade today. Been a good week. Looking forward to next week!

 

Michael,

How long have you been sim trading the ES?

 

it was a tough week for many....option exp. week tends to be rough.

i did okay this week, not great. see the 2009 pnl thread for details.

 

I've been trying to learn/studying for about 1 1/2 years, and have been sim trading on and off for about 6 months.
