Traded the ES premarket, then both symbols past 9:30am. Made bits of money in ER, lost that and more in ES chop. Shucked the ES, back to breakeven by late morning trading ER alone. Went in the hole -1pt ER past 2pm on shorts until the expected break ensued. Tried shorting ER 774 and 773 as market blew lower, couldn't fill as it ran away. Finally got the order filled at around 771+ on a pause in the drop. Exited around 665+ and done. Had either of the higher fills hit, would have added $200 - $300 per contract more to the rake. Trading ER alone today while avoiding ES losses would have done similar, too. ** Sole reason for me to trade ES is unlimited size on contracts. Other than that, I have no use for it. The ES just chops and churns, backs & fills way too much for my taste. We'll trade the ER primarily, NQ - ES - ZB in the future as needed. Traded ten-lots ER per turn all day, no slippage at all in or out. I see many blocks of 20 to 50 contracts filled in T&S, good enough for my use. ER2 sure is a wild one at times... but that's what we love about her Have a great weekend
-95 for the day, came back from down 289. +8,040 for the month. 3 reds out of 20.5 trading days (-870, -650, -95). under expectation but happy with it. Great weekend and good luck in December, everyone!
Very happy considering I didn't have 1 winner before 3:00. Was very very close to being stopped out and worked it back to this.
Happy with my trading today. Even tho I got raped on one trade where I should've done the raping, I did have a killer one later in the day that I'm happy with. Peace!
damn day !!! was struggling the whole day .... was already down -300 the first hour then slowly made everything back was back in the green before 2 then lost a ton into the close ... kept going long on g.e. and kept cutting then complete reversal and then i go short damn damn damn what a lousy way to end the month ending the month with a lousy 3,526 could have made much much more if i had no large drawdowns.... i need more improvement .... great trading to cumulative and prop !!!! hope to have a better december happy weekend to all
