Ok over the weekend i had 2 open positions Thursday(long) and Fridays(Short). So monday morning had a sig to go long. 2 positions long and 1 short. Thursdays long was stoped out -2%. Mondays long was stoped out around 12am eastern -2%.This morning sig to long again and TP was hit +4%. So the only trade im in now is fridays short which is still active with a TP at 1.9933. Sorry if i confused anyone

Last weeks trades 1 for 2 and 2 still open.Just have to wait and see what this week brings. Total Pips- +91 Equity- +5.77% Win%- 38.89% http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1318&stc=1&d=1177293619 MaxDrawdown.xls

yesterdays long still active,this morning i entered short,my first hedge since opening my account.

Right now im long with a TP of 2.0161 with stops at 1.9984.

went long this morning missed my TP by 3 pips. Stoped out. -2%

Short this morning stoped out before I left for work:D

Went long this morning, and when i got to work TP was hit of 1.9919. So good start for this week. +4%

Just going over my trades,and believe it or not everything is going as planned so far. Even though it started off strong, i new this system was more of a slow mover as in backtesting, with a strong equity curve. There was 2 periods in backtesting where it went back and forth for a period of 100 days before it could break the last high and stay above it. And the others a average of 50 days. But once it would break the last high it always managed to stay above it. So as I said in the begining this is going to be a slow process and i new it when i started this.All of u just starting out like me keep some type of journal so that u can go back and reflect on your thoughts, it will help u stay focused on the big picture. Total Pips- +98 Equity % - +5.8% Win% - 40%

Well 5 losses in a row. Todays trade Stoped out! This week 4 losses -8% Total Pips- +98 http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1272&stc=1&d=1176492848 MaxDrawdown.xls

The reason i said another short position because ive been short all week (I think Im shorten myself to death)

Torero,well just entered another short position. didnt think it was going to happen,but when the system speaks i have to listen. So im looking for TP around 1.9757.

Hey pips trader nice to see u ended that trade in the green!

Lets see what the Consumer Sentiment (p) will bring its about 10 min away! So far no positions yet.

Thanks torero! Good news EFX finally released some free charting for there platform, through intellicharts its only basic charting but im not complaning:) IntelliChart

Both positions stoped out -4%. Ok 4 losses in a row as expected no big suprise this happened many times in backtesting. Just got to stick with it. Im just happy that im still up some during these rangy conditions. Total pips- +135

Yesterdays position still active, this morning i had another signal to short, so first TP is 1.9702 and second is 1.9691.

Hopefully the break of the trend will add a little life to my short position!! http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1257&stc=1&d=1176316541

Though im still in this trade looking at some price action it is a good possability that it could be stopped out. But got to stick to my guns!! http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1254&stc=1&d=1176305492

Im short this morning with TP at 1.9702.

Finally got my internet connection back after about 20 hrs downtime:eek: so there was no trades today!!

Went long this morning looking for a TP around 1.9660. Didnt happen stoped out -2%.

Torero, I have not noticed any slippage up to this point,but since i cannot view my order history(Server Error)i could be wrong. As soon as i find out for sure i'll let u know. I would like to thank you for following along with me and keeping me on track, your help is greatly appreciated!!

Here is my max drawdown sheet http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1230&stc=1&d=1175906702 MaxDrawdown.xls

Im finding out commision is starting to add up quick,for todays trade i was playing around to figure in the commision with the 2% loss so it will be a true 2% loss. I was a little off this morning even though i entered in at 1 pip better than predicted:D So for now on thats what ill do!! This is a work in progress.Still playing around with the numbers.
