  1. if you could post this at the end of each trading day, it'd be awesome.

    also, what do the little triangles represent? and each down arrow indicates where you sold, but are you selling 2 contracts at each arrow?

    thanks.

  3. Each arrow represents 1 lot. An arrow pointing to the right means one contract initiated, arrow pointing to the left means one contract closed.

    Edit: meant to say each triangle represents 1 lot

  7. if we all join forces maybe we could get Instynct to post a chart at the end of each trading day, similar to the one he posted yesterday.


    thus, +1

  8. Art shoot me an email.

    18 contracts traded so far, market fooled me 3 times today on full positions. Was down as much as -747 and worked my way back to positive territory. Think I will call it a day +134

  10. Today was one of those stay out-of-trouble days... last trading day of the week before a long holiday weekend and the price action reflected it.

    I took a couple scalps and ended up doing other things. +65 today and +232 for the week.

    I've decided to stop posting my pnl's for the time being. Lose a few hundred, make a few hundred has been the norm lately. Once I break out into bigger sizes and larger pnl's then I will post again. Need to focus more on consistency and less on the money.

    I just finished reading Marty Schwartz's "Pit Bull", and its a facinating read into the life of a professional trader. I had ordered it online but couldn't wait for it in the mail so I found a free pdf copy on the internet. (Still waiting for the physical copy in the mail along with steve jobs autobiography).
