Overall was ok but I really f'd it up on oil and Russell today. Oil was short, got out and proceeded to watch it drop hard. Not smart. Russell just flat out missed an easy long off the open. That simply is unacceptable.

 

Still working on my timing here, even after all these months. Hopefully my frustration at times serves as an aid for others to see that no matter how much you do this, you can still miss some easy setups for whatever reason(s).

 

The good news is that even by screwing a few things up, I've made about over $700/ct the last 2 days. While not perfect, it's still not too bad IMO. Trade 10 or 20 contracts and it just multiplies.

 

With that said, I'm not content with almost doing the job correctly.

BF, same thing happened to me on es, I got short at 66 right before the news, got a bit scared as it shot to 69, got out with a tick and watched it drop 12 points in 2 minutes.

 

Im not done for today though

Glad I am not alone.

Just don't hide from it hunny. We are here to help and you'd be amazed how it feels just putting it down for others to see. Yeah, losses hurt (money + ego) but IMO this will accelerate your learning curve.

[bathrobe 10]

O.K. had the 1 tick I talked of earlier and then faded 1068.

[Grey1 10]

Grey1 will not be trading any more to day ,,hence this the final P/L

 

Final P/L + $1430

 

I am including all trades and the price filled .. I doubt posting P/L will help any 1 to learn trading hence I wont post any more and instead will be posting on various advanced Risk analysis,statistical arb , pair trading , program trading ,modern chart analysis ( pattern recognition using gentic NN, fuzzy analysis, expert systems and various AI techniques ) as we go along ,, this way I am sure my expertise will benefit some soul .

 

Muachs Gracias

Once again, you fail to see how your posting can help others. Maybe not learn to trade a specific method (that's the easy part) but learn how a successful trader manages trades, what kind of results are possible and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

 

But we seem to mix like water and oil so this doesn't surprise me. Take care Grey1 and if you are going to post these ideas here on TL, I'm looking forward to reading about these ideas you mention.

It is spelled Muchas Gracias and it would be nice if you will stop refering to yourself in third tence.

Real Money trade for today. YRCW +0.11/share or +3.9%

 

SIM trading for the day. Took more trades than I usually would but I am still trying to get comfortable with my order strategy and build my skills in exiting when my entry appears flawed.

 

[subterfuge 10]

Well...made hard work of it today. Made loads of trades which certainly isn't part of the plan. All that being said, i'd be a very happy guy if all of my 'hard' days were still winners like today, lol.

Although I can see the point of posting P/L because it demonstrates that it is possible to make money from trading, I am sure (from knowing Grey1's material on another site) that readers will find what he has to say extremely interesting and useful. I am sure that he will show very clearly how successful traders manage trades, because trade management and especially risk management forms a major part of his strategy.

 

 

Many people followed his technical trader's thread over on T2W and found it beneficial. A number of people including myself have incorporated these ideas into automated or semi-automated trading engines.

It's coming along slowly thanks. I took some time out, but am trying to make up ground again. It was quite some session with Lote_tree by the sound of it !

 

Thank you for your most generous offer about any problems I may have and the possibility of a meet up. It would be something I would like to do very much and I think sometime post-Christmas would be great so that I can get a little more development work done so that I might be able to also show you what I have done.

 

Fly me to the Moon :rofl:

[daedalus 10]

Stopping early again as have done well. I appear to be on a roll recently, averaging about 45 pips per day. Dont konw if it means im getting better or the market just happens to be suiting my style, but I expect to get a beating soon enough! Still, cross that bridge when i come to it I guess:

[bathrobe 10]

The good, new record. The bad, gross loss.........same as last time I had a huge day. My problem with these trades where I have an overall winner but a large gross loss is I get shaken and bail early. Usually my analysis is spot on. I need to work on this.

 

I cannot post the .png image directly to my post, what is explained in the link provided by BF does not work for me I have no clue why.

 

Also, I took 1 trade today, not 257

[brownsfan019 17]

10-28-09: +$257.19

 

Couldn't quite get in sync w/ oil today as I went 1/4 there today. The good news is that even batting 25% there was a minimal loss. That just comes from risk management and getting good returns on your winners. That's part of the reason why I don't put as much in winning % as I once did. If your winners can outpace your losers enough, the win % does not have to be huge.
