  3. Decent. Actual net about 600. Missed some good trades early and mismanaged early, but that lunch time volatility saved me and I scalped out some dough.

  6. Much better today. Managed to keep my usually disgusting pass through fees somewhat respectable today.

    Have a good weekend guys.

  7. The last couple of days this week have been terrible...

    No matter how hard I tried, just could not get something going!

    Yesterday's number was +240 net, which was due to the market being a boob.

    Today's failure is directly due to the fact that I was up +291 net by noon, but then made two keystroke errors that made me go down to -60 net! I lost $350.00 in two trades!

    Spent the rest of the less than stellar afternoon trying to recoup what was lost, but could only make back $120.00.

    Have a great weekend everyone! :)

  8. Net up $55.89. Finally stopped the bleeding, 3 down days in a row was'nt fun. I had to size down and sit on my hands. Its phycological, now I have an up day again and should follow thru with discipline.

    Just need to get back to making some nice cash 1 step at a time.

    Since June 1st. 06 I have started a 2% profit per day trial over at the TS forum. Here is the conclusion that with a capital of $15,636 in 17 trading days have gained 30% for a total of $5,000 (the numbers shown in the table are less than the actual (since comm. Credits due at the end of the month). There was only 1 losing day so far.

  10. My original strategy is somewhat less effective than early in the year, although I could maybe make 1k a day still doing it after a few weeks adjustment. There are a few obstacles in my way to doing that, so im working on a new strategy that is more scalable and long term than my old one. We will see how that goes, hence why i post here, so everyone can follow my progress or failure! (not expecting failure though, just maybe reduced earnings in the short term) Ive gone from 100 bucks a day early in the month to 500 a day now, so im satisfied with my improvement so far.
