  1. geez . . . sorry, i don't get by here

    too often

     

    a spreadsheet to log your trades,

    to come up with whatever stats you want

  2. Sorry, I don't understand? Spreadsheet for what?

  3. hello,

     

    not trying to be a wise guy . . .

     

    but you need to make a spreadsheet,

    sooner or later, you'll want one anyway

     

    adios,

    sandy

  4. I have an account with OEC, and I wanted to access a consolidated trading statement basically showing PnL, trading statistics etc. going back to my accounts inception. I contacted customer service and they werent very helpful, any ideas?
  5. read through my thread, I am no shill. I mistakenly logged into an old account. Never mind the reference to the blog...As i continue with this thread my trading approach will be apparent to anyone following.
  6. I seem to have posted under my other username, apologies...I will continue this log under this username. Sorry for the Confusion!
  7. I have been on a hiatus from trading for the past few weeks, and I have been focusing on school and getting other things together in my life. I am looking to land an internship for the summer, hopefully at a trading firm, IB, or something related to that. I did complete an internship at a small local financial advisory firm last summer. Does anyone think that adding my futures P/L to my resume would be a good idea? I started my account at $5,000 last year...Started 2010 at about 3300, and now I am sitting around $4000. I think it would show that I have put in some time into trading on my own, and that I am willing to put in work into the endeavor, any ideas?
  8. For the past 2 days: P/L: -387 Balance: 4033 I have come to a realization today, the days that I am profitable I only make a few trades. There are about 4-5 trades with certain characteristics, that work consistently. I spent some time today and put these trades and their characteristics on paper. I am going to stick to making these trades and see how everything goes in the next couple weeks.
  9. P/L: -496 Balance 4420 I made a very stupid mistake today, I cutoff my trading after reaching my daily loss at ~$200, but I forgot to close out a long position in wheat. My daily loss more than doubled as a result. Rest assured, that this will not happen again.
  10. P/L: +443 Balance: 4916 Today was a relatively good day as far as execution, I did miss one trade because of a lack of focus. I tend to start surfing the net and doing non-related trading activities when the market is quiet or is moving my way. I will be definitely be getting some rest and recreation this weekend, so it should be a blast! Have a great weekend!
  11. I may move this log to the P/L thread in this forum, it seems as if it will be a better place for this.
  12. P/L: -77 Balance: 4472 Choppy day in all grains...Made two trades...stopped out of one, and cut the other at break-even.
  13. No trading today...but I will finish this week strong and trade Thursday and Friday!
  14. P/L: +897 Balance: 4,549 Ill have to be quick as I have to cut the trading day short to study...Today was a good day trading soybeans. I had a good P/L day, but I am finding more and more and that focusing on execution rather than P/L is the key to success!
  15. Took two trades today, one was profitable and the other was not. Nothing much else to add...off to study and will be back at it tomorrow.
