Morning trade/ + 1 points on 3 turns -didn't hold winner long enough took 2.4 points and ran, it went 4 points futher before I couldn't watch it anymore. Afternoon/ pretty much a wash. -1st trade got stopped out full stop 2nd trade caught a good one but something went funky on screen tried to clean it up, closed position by mistake. I guess that's why you sim trade. Need to learn program better. Got back to break even in afternoon break even day with commissions.
DAY 4 This was going to be a disaster right from the bat. By 9:33 I got out and was - 1.5 on the balance. I regrouped and re - focused. Went back to my system and bammmmm by the end of the day I had 10 entrances/exits for 1 point each. I stopped at 3:00 and was 8.5 points ahead. So it started shitty but turned into a very good day. The calculations are as follows: 8.5 x 50 - 11 x 5 = 425 - 55 = 370 less 40% taxes = 370 - 148 Total net gain = $222 - finally a decent amount. A very nice way to end the week indeed.
Think I'm done for the day. Could be a long setting up but it feels to late. Anyway have stuff to do and a couple of good trades already. #1) +4.0 #2) -1.1 #3) 0 #4) +2.9 -------------------- (+5.8 x100=580) - (4RT x $5.5= $22.00)= $558.00 Exited well on #1. Not so well on #4. Could have been much better with my management of trades. Look over today tonight maybe happier with performance tomorrow. Ciao, JIM
