  5. So, let's start with the ES trade.

    That was stopped out for 10 points.

    Me = - 822
    Other side = + 337

    Although the other side hasn't tracked well, I think I can improve this by simply going for larget targets/ stops. This was mainly an issue of the other side not getting filled.

    Stock trades are going to be hard to track profit / loss. I'm going to assume that every trade would have 1, 000 used, and buy/ sell as many shares as possible that evenly divide into 1,000, then calculate profit/ loss.

    I'll just add that to the me/ other side.

    T = still in it. Short from 30.89, stop 33.89, target 27.89.
    GLD = still in it. Short from 120.86, stop 123.86, target 117.86.

  6. I meant to say I'll assume each stock trade has 10,000 used. 1, 000 would just be too little.
    BAC entered at 30.15, stopped at 30.60. = - 150
    FB still in it. Short 190.93 target 183.93, stop 197.93.

    Me = - 972
    Other side = + 487
