I hate that your right. Today sucked. Draw down would be far to heavy. I couldn't do this with real money and have to rely on a huge day like yesterday. I undid almost all of the gains yesterday today. I still don't think systems are the way to go though. Back to the drawing board. I may need to back off the market further in chart time frame. Presently a 8/3 combo. Maybe a move up to 15-20/5-8. I don't really intend to be a scalper so... we'll see. Have a couple of days before I leave for a bit. See ya. Thanks for your view on things. Totals today: Wipe out almost all gains from yesterday on way to many RT's. Not a sustainable way of trading. Need to study price more and see what I can see. JIM
yesterday it was - $250 today it is + $ 115 I need to see more profitable days and also larger profit to loss ratio. lets see as the boat sails
+163 yesterday +100 today ----------- +263 total (Com. removed) Need to take profits when they are more considerable. I hold my trades to long. I let the last trade go from over +3 to negative a little. Not good. Need to look over most of my trades and find a reasonable average to act as a limit order target so I won't talk myself into holding on for the BIGGER move. I'm thinking 3 points would be wise. I would have much better totals and a lot less stress. Will be gone for a bit. Maybe post later next week. Good day. Have fun trading, or simulating, if that makes our viewers more comfy. JIM
