Trader P/L 2009

Recommended Posts

Congrat on your success! Just out of curiosity what are your targets like? Point-wise I mean. I'm just wondering if you're trading huge lots for a few ticks of if you're catching big moves, or somewhere in between. I apologize in advance if you've answered this question in the past...

 

larger lots for what the market gives me, but I do not hold on for a very long time and a great deal of points.

 

I should see what my average target is, I would guess around 6-8 ticks, I have been improving on this since mid-summer though. I have been able to have the discipline to hold on longer.

 

I do not have a target going into a trade that is not based on anything but a number I made up, I wait until the trade looks like it is no longer moving in my direction or something else.

Today was the first day I only watched Crude and the Ten Year, I took one trade a short in CL, and I am happy with my analysis and execution. I was also finished very early which is always nice.

 

My short took off to the down side and gave me a picture perfect exit at the price I wanted when I entered the short.

 

I would like to watch the S&P, Crude Oil, 10 Year Note and possibly the Euro, 30 Year, FDAX, FESX, BUND, BOBL, SCHATZ and Nikkei. We will see if I can handle it, my main priority is the ES.

 

The results here are only Crude Oil. I got out part of my position with a very small gain and partial loss, which let the rest run, after this I managed my position very aggressively.

For whatever reason Ninja Trader combines trades, I do not understand why but I placed 1 trade today.

 

That is 300 posts :)

Just the ES today as I didn't get going till later than normal. Missed some nice moves on oil apparently though.

 

Nice job BR on the oil trade! Welcome to the cartel. We will be at your doorstep shortly for initiation.

Ninja counts trades by the number of exits/fills not entries.

Right after oil comes out I seem to do the best. My good "after inventory" trades had to offset my morning overtrading of oil. ZS gave me a picture perfect bounce of my support. I did better not overtrading today but still lots of work to be done on that. I guess I have a bit of a gambler inside me that has to be controlled constantly while watching the charts.

Just when I thought I might be getting along with the ES again, it slaps me around and calls me it's bitch. So then I quickly went over to the RLM and got my money back.

 

Let me explain via pictures...

As they say, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for a reversal trader the RLM provided a few nice trades with quick profits and the ES just didn't do anything.

Just trying my crystal ball... did you use 3 or 4 contracts on the RLM?

Nice work all round for the year bathrobe. I was puzzled why you would want to watch the nikkei during USA hours. The CME contract is pretty pathetic IMHO and is really nothing more than an after hours market for the main Nikkei out of Osaka. Or, maybe you are meaning to extend your trading hours beyond just the USA session.

 

I've traded the nikkei daily for a couple of years..it's a pretty low volatility market, but has great volumes if you use the Osaka contracts.

 

With kind regards,

MK

I have not taken a hard look at the Nikkei yet but I plan on doing so soon. I was referring to the Osaka contract.

ITs almost over for this year. Next year promises to be very interesting. I have been working on some kind of auto trader for Ninja to just get me into the trade if my rules were met. Something simple, like where is price, where is S&R, where was price before reaching S&R, and if from below, sell it, if from above buy it but only if volume was greater than last time it was here or greater than 2 periods ago....hmm....simple enough?

How do you define SR?

I was not at work to trade today so I had to deal with kids while trying to keep up with the CL, ZS, 6E, RLM, and the 6E. Not ideal.

I'll definitely be getting office space somewhere once I move to full time trading.

 

The G oil contract had more volume today than the F for the first time so I switch over and realized the price was way different ($2) and the got confused whether my S/R levels were still in the right place on the new contract. :confused:

 

The ES is so slow that I had to walk away from the computer just to stay in the trade.

 

The ZS had a good move but I wasn't watching it at the right time to catch it.

Hi Gabe,

 

It is up to you, of course, but when you quot someone with embedded charts, or any lengthy post for that matter, you can delete the images or some of the text from the quote to save screen real estate and forum pages.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

 

Here's an example using the post you quoted from Brownie:

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
