    holiday shortened - Happy 4th of July - this week's focus will be the NFP on Friday
    this month's NFP has a bit of an edge to it because of Dr B and QE, and the markets'
    sell off, will there be more downside ? I'm expecting below the 161K consensus

    for Monday July 1/13 ~ 12:32pm pst

    Currencies: the $ and pairs are also waiting on the NFP and some corrective action
    can be expected till then

    but not much range - sideways; alternate: if it opens down and drops . . .

  3. Wait.. what?

    A month ago you'd clear a grand or two in a week's time.

    Now you cleared nearly $3 million in profit in a week?

    I don't normally do the whole "BS show us proof" but unless I misunderstand what your post reports, could you provide few statements from AMP to back this up?

    Or are you just trying to see if people are paying attention?

    Hey Wallace,

    I just finished reading your journal and I noticed the same thing as the previous poster. I know you started out saying the idea is to 'double' and make $1M in 12 weeks, but based on your last post, you clearly CRUSHED that idea, and have done close to $1M in a day!

    I don't have a reason to doubt your results, as it seems your analysis is pretty thorough. It doesn't appear like you have caught a number of huge winners or home runs (point wise LOL), but apparently you are just increasing your contract size while capturing some nice point gains.

    But I was curious to see what happened to transition from where you were making a couple of hundred earlier last month to where you are now. Did you fund your account with more money, because at one point, it appeared you were down to a couple of hundred dollars in your account? Or did I miss something? Also I thought I remembered reading that your accounts were live, but I also saw a reference to demo trades. So I am not for certain, as I read your journal over a couple of days. However, it appeared that you made a huge leap 1-2 months ago, back in April to now.

    In either case, enjoy your journal, so keep up the GREAT trading!

  5. Jack and PD2G12: I was wondering when the ES results would kick up some attention

    none of the trading in the Portfolio is with real money - and don't I wish the ES was

    this journal and previous ones have for the most part been about using my method to
    analyze the Price Time Waves movement of the euro rather than trading

    this Portfolio is the the third in a few months, what may be more permanent than the
    others, and it has to do with doubling, but I've no previous experience trading more than
    one instrument at a time and it's brought it's own problems - why I dropped SI CL NG

    I was thinking about writing up the ES trading in the QE II Report next week, the synopsis
    is that I haven't traded the ES or analyzed it on any regular basis, so it was new to me to
    try and demo trade it and, to find out IF my trading method or rather my Analysis method
    also worked with the ES as it does with the 6E/EURUSD, and I learned that it does work

    I was just looking thru Daily ranges and discovered that the ES can be as low as 4 points
    unheard of for the euro but what's to point out is during the last few weeks the Daily range
    of the ES has been Large, and that some of the analysis and subsequent trades were easy
    to make and hence boost profits

    the 'in theory' doubling was just a mathematical number - 10 pips per day since I believed
    that amount could be obtained trading the euro. the ES is another matter and I'm thinking
    in terms of 1 point a session and I'll explain the details in the Report
    the demo trading was not doubling, but from session to session the contracts traded
    jumped from 200-400-600-1000 is what I remember, again, this had a Lot to do with how
    many points were made trading that session and the fact that there were a lot of Large
    range days. this wouldn't be possible to achieve if you examine the days prior to June
    because the range isn't there

    I did trade my own account a little during this period but had a problem putting the demo
    trade on and remembering I should be entering trades for my own account as I was
    concentrating on the demo trade, and that's why I've stopped the demo trading
    I've learnt a lot during the period, one thing is that contract size not point amount is what
    matters, but for my own trading there's several things and while it's easy to click the button
    when trading play money, it's a totally different matter when one's using one's own money
    and as said, my Method is not primarily a trading method/system, so I've been working on
    how Do I trade the ES ?

    there's also been 2 trading methods being used, B&H trading of the fx pairs and gold
    which I've never done before, and session trading for the most part the ES, anyway, if
    you'll wait till next week I'll write some more about the whole trading experience and the
    ES doubling and one possible way to do it, and if you want to discuss it further we can

  6. Sure.

    Fair warning though, I tend to dislike 'pip' / 'point' daily targets. I've written out against fixed pip or $ daily goals a bit my own corner of the web as I see a lot of benefits to non-monetary goals.

    ...Such as "each trade operated within the risk parameters set out before entering the trade, or better through active management" or ".. and let the trading opportunities that appear dictate how many trades or how much I hold for.. not some fixed value that could cause me to over-trade should the goal not be met for the day.

    Of course, to each their own.

    --

    One thing though, on your paper performance, would you have traded a real dollar account just the same? (talking about the trade size)

    OK, I understand. I was wondering how you were able to make the type of gains that you have made and seemed to remain the same without coming across excited. It was as if it was business as usual. Like you were saying, the ES did this and that, here's what I think about it, and oh by the way, I did almost $850K today and $2.9 MIL this week. LOL

    I am subscribed to your journal and wouldn't mind discussing it more.

    Thanks

  8. you guys are making me work hard, 3 posts in one day

    I agree with you Jack and it'll be explained in the Report, and yes; and PD, if you don't
    mind the abbreviation, it was part of the exercise to see how it felt even artificially to
    run the account up and trade 1,000 contracts, And reallize the session profits were
    over three quarters of a million dollars, that such an exercise does have value and
    again it'll be in the Report
