Your trade on this day (2/09/2007) for ELS does not make any sense either. Price didn't even come close to your exit price.
Day (17) ER Mini ----------------------- Today/+151.50 Cumulative total after com./ +$1482.75 Anybody know how to rid myself of chipmunks in the attic? literally. One keeps scurrying around above me all day. It drives me crazy. Is it spring snap neck time or what? Any experienced advice will be appreciated. JIM
DAY 19 and 19 day 18 = $137 gross day 19 = $337 gross This market is too easy. Buy and hold, rinse and repeat. I wonder how I will do once the market is less happy go lucky.
Bad day. After a nice string of winning days I got cocky and bet big on a high confidence setup. The trade went my way (short) but didn't reach my target. I got stubborn, didn't adjust my stop, too sure of myself, paid the price. -1150, -38 com.
That would kill me and wife. Both terribly allergic to kitties. I might have to camp up there with a bb gun.
Day (18) ER Mini ----------------------- Today/+267.50 Cumulative total after com./ +$1750.25 Time to go face the shoveling. It's blizzard time in PA. JIM
+150 -98.80 com on very poor trading. Drawdown reached 1650, I was lucky to get out alive. Once again I kept shorting the market and only got a reprieve in the final hour.
+ $195 1 contract NQ recovered yesterdays losses. I have a max stop loss of 3 points per trade and try to make 5 or more points per trade.May be thats why I have more losing trades now,and stop trading once I reach my daily loss limit. A lot of times market just stops me out and goes in my direction. I should eventually learn to pick up at the right time and price.
