I guess I should join in the fun and start posting here too. Perhaps it will help me get over some various barriers if I see my numbers against others. Trading only NQ's, did 5 trade today but ended net loss -47.00 after commissions. I use NT for a screen shot as it is more accurate than RCG's balance sheet which doesn't include commissions.
Sep 13 thru 17 result was a net-draw week. Needed one swing lower in the TF on Friday any time thru five hours of flat-line and it was a net-profit week. Didn't happen. Last week's five-day channel sets up high potential for distance movement this week... heads up on that. Will shift to posting here daily with statements added end-of-week. I place no value on day-to-day results overall, but there is value in commenting on how each day turned out relative to price actions = personal decisions made under live fire. See you Monday
Donna, I respectfully suggest you reconsider and keep posting. imo it'll be good for you and the followers of this forum in equal measure. This thread was once the foundation and pillars of ET for reality in the trenches of actual trading results. I see so reason why it cannot return to former status, one real trader at a time
I figure that she is ready to increase her contract sizes and she doesn't need the pressure to post P/L daily at the moment, that is why she would stop posting P/L here.
A couple of good momentum plays and a few countertrend ones, two of which were stopped out a couple of times, i.e. guess which ones they are? Think PEP will not break 67 and could make back the loss but I am shutting down. $560 on 13k shares, have a good one...

On that note I'm going to start posting my p/l. I usually only trade the pm session and it won't be every day. Today should have been a big winner but ended up with smallish loss. -34 David.
