    Finished well off the HOD unfortunately (it was 5x as much), late evening rally surprised me. A nice month though, considering the last 3 months only had low single digit percentage gains.

    Frustrating day, Was green this AM then things went south. Long setups failed miserably . Short setups per my rules just didn't show up today. Took 1 trade that was a a little bit over my risk rules on the 4 hour chart. Was a solid setup but ended up losing . Holding 1 oil long overnight until I get an exit signal.

    A break-even week, not including that one exceptional trade on wednesday. Looking forward to making Portfolio Margin this or next month, making early allocation preparations.

  7. Due to equal measures of popular request and personal desire of accomplishment, I started trading a $2,000 account balance two weeks ago using one (1) emini Russell 2000 contract (TF) per turn.

    Nine sessions later the balance is $4,000+ from grind it out daily fashion. Some days were only one round turn, most two or three turns.

    The broker I use permits day-trade margin of $500 per contract, so the survival rate before bust from here would now be thirty-five straight max loss stops at -$100 each with zero wins, before risk of ruin is reached.

    I personally like our chances of that not happening before we achieve $10,000 and $20,000 balance and onward above.

    From $5,000+ balance we'll turn two (2) contracts per trade until $10,000 balance is reached. Then we'll progress from there. But first things first... from $4,000 to $10,000 is our only focus right now.

    See you next Friday with our weekly progress report :cool:

  8. was up 600 this morning from some nice overnight bond longs then slowly diwindled it away . Not many signals on higher timeframes so took some lower quality signals on lower timeframes that I probably should have stayed away from.

    ended positive nonetheless

    Missed one target by a tick and the position went completely against me, that doubled the daily loss.
