I trade Derivates using what I call CDC MTF Trend Trading (Correlated Divergent Convergent Multi-Time Frame Trend Trading). I trade Stock Options, Mini-Dow, Corn, Wheat, Crude Oil, Precious Metals, and other positions available across the board. My big profit came from the CDC of the trading principle, Silver and the Dow were rising simultaneously, and gave by signals together. These markets are usually divergent or at least not hugely convergent), but on June 29th we got a Long Signal in both of these positions, Silver and Dow mini (this causes me to go from my usually break up of 60% in uncorrelated markets, 40% in correlated, and switch it around). 60% of my positions are usually in non-correlated markets, so, I may be Long Soybeans, Short Corn, Long Crude, Short The Dow, (and then 40% is left for the general trend of a market--my options purchases on stocks). I was trading mini-contracts in a 12,000 dollar account and am up at this time to 43,604.22. Thought it be interesting to share my Dow wins and losses. They're only taken point wise at the moment, though, when I figure out how to transfer my entrance and exit and copy and paste it, I'll put that up here as well. Started first week of May. May 2nd, and traded my system that has taken me 8 years of testing and failing at the markets to put together. In my personal account, where I trade currencies as well, I increased my account by 196.5%, cause, my account is bigger, which lets the size of my positions be a smaller representation. I'm a swing trader of the dow, position trader of stock options and mini-corn and Crude and soybeans, and swing trader of currency.

Well, plan to keep my notes of what's happening from here on. Just found this site. Had this great few months, felt like sharing. No subterfuge. I have no interest in becoming a trading guru, or making a letter. I've been trading the markets on and off for 8 years, developing this system, back testing it through 30 different markets, and 2 hundred different stocks, until I got solid results. In 2009, I struck big with nothing by sheer luck and turned 2,000 dollars into 28,000 dollars by buying lots of options in blue chip stocks that get hit hard and were in the tens or single digits. Ford was my hugest win. I bought 10 options saying it would be at 3 dollars when it was at 1.50 in 5 months, they cost 40 cents each, and I spent 400 dollars. In three months they were 5.50 or 6 dollars, and I sold out for 4 dollars a piece, or made 4,000 (or 2 hundred percent). JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs and Walmart. All in all went up 13,000 dollars by June. Then I started getting more sophisticated, started reading William O'Neil, Nicholas Darvas, and subscribing to IBD, they showed me STEC (it's name I can't remember, but for two years after I got letters offering a lawsuit, but I didn't need it). I went long and made a little money, but then the stock tumbled out of its boxes, and signaled that it was collapsing, so I bought 5 month puts in it ( the spread was horrible, but, in 4 months, it went from 32 to 7 dollars, and my 5 puts were worth 2,000 dollars a piece). Then, I went on a losing streak, but, eventually, the market started trending in my favorite and at the end of the year, my account was at 28,000 dollars. I took it out and started living off it, minus the 9,400 in taxes I paid.
So today, waiting for September Mini Corn to drop below 339, before getting back in my short position, went from 428 to 399, and 378 to 354, watching NFLX to drop below 84 , bought two September mini dow to at 18 492 yesterday, and watching it if it drops below 18441.
