  7. It would be more informative if the daily P&L would include the # of trades, W/L ratio, ave win, ave loss, largest win, largest loss.
    Another option is to post the daily trades on 1 chart with markers for entry and exit.
    Instynct; you seem to be doing better in NON trending markets. If I am correct, why do you think that is?

  8. I use to post all those numbers but I figured no one cared for them.

    If the pullbacks on a trending day is really shallow then I don't do well and usually just sit out for the most part on those days. But today was ideal because the retracements were deep and offers some nice profts. Entries are a big part of my trading and I try to time them as close to the bottom as possible.

    I don't really favor one kind of market over another (trend vs Non-trending days), as long as I'm focused, I can get the job done. Today I was off on some of my entries and allowed one to get out of hand.

    Do you trade NQ as well?

  9. I think that posting P&Ls as pure numbers benefits the ego of the poster, at best. (I hope I am not offending anyone)
    Posting the other details can benefit everyone.

    I trade IWM. One day, when I start making $$$ I will switch to TF.
