    Thanks ssrrkk, didn't realize anyone is following the performance so closely.
    A fairly bad market for my kind of trading, it's not even drifting up - it's hovering up.

    0227: -$1104

    could not get any sustainable runs in the acct equity curve. it is getting rather boring and frustrating.

    Hi d08, I am curious to know the number of positions involved with this profit and number of shares involved. Also, do you use a fairly tight stop after entry in case it doesn't go your way?

    Thanks. It's almost exclusively NASDAQ but some futures too (ES). NASDAQ is the best market in the world when it comes to stocks.

    Hey Rol. I trade without stops, while most here would ridicule me for this - it simply works better for my approach. I've done the same strats with stops and it was just open season for me by the HFT folk. I've taken large losses because of this, a 20%+ loss just last friday and I'm mentally prepared to take the next one.
    Trade count/share number varies a lot, today I did 19k shares with 47 executions. Held a maximum of 21 positions at once.
