The total is for both Mon. and Tue. since I was holding overnight. Yesterday was hectic, today was more orderly. End result is very decent: 11.2K All clear for the day so Wed. I am going shopping.
<i>"have a question for ES/YM traders.....was today a relatively tough day to make money?"</i> Overall, yes. Today was akin to trading an FOMC afternoon on steriods, bell to bell. If you are skilled and aggressive, and have good fortune to enjoy stops holding into a big price swing, it was profitable. More traders than not were spun around and tipped over by the end. <b>Saxon</b>, you know I wish you well forever. You also know that we both know where that approach will wind up in the end. MBAGearhead will tell you, too.
Austin I have modified the system, heavily incorporating ideas from many traders and trade ways. So far, it is working, and the system is still being tweaked. Believe it or not most $$$ is not made from counter trading. As a matter of fact the times I got in trouble was when I went back to the old ways and did not stick to my plan. What can I say, wish me luck!
calling it a day .... was +1k by 12:15 only to give almost evrything back by 1pm and churn everything back again to day highs and more .... could have made more but still rattled with today's near LFT and yesterday's loss .... goodluck to all
