+ 1295.60 I left 1700 more on the table before overriding the systems and closing out positions. As a rule, I don't override when profits are increasing only when they rapidly deteriorate (like today)! I haven't programmed that in yet... Until I do, I'll try to remember that I wrote the rules and when to override them.
Well that sucked. Ratio was terrible today. Got beat up in NGAS and PFE. Had it to -350 then got clobbered again. Fun Fun Fun.
down day for me. ended week +$600 which im happy about because a while back i had a bit of a blowout and since then ive revamped my trading, traded on a simulator for awhile and then threw in 5K cash and have turned this a/c into 6.3K in two weeks. EOD -$113.56
-33 1100shares i did follow my rules to cut losses... but my gains were too small to recover the losers.
+56 230 shares boring day. bad entry and bad exit on TRW. Need to work on following rules. Summary of the Week: up 3 days; down 2 days Net P/L: +59.0 Best trade: +72.89 Worst trade: -128.14 Net P/L per trade: +1.56 Number of trade: 38 P/L (if following strictly system exiting rule): +493.0 My system exiting rule is simple "exit at market close". My trading performance is far far below the computer simulated system performance. The big issue is still as usual my emotional actions especially at exiting a winning trade. Plan for next week: keep trading small and adjust strategy risk parameters buy lowering NYSE stock risk. Trades today:
