Trader P/L 2009

Record day for me on my futures trading. +$723

And that is even with a choppy day on the ZS. All currency trades were from last night.

You know what is interesting dinero? You are showing some nice results w/o touching the ES. At one time around here that was the standard. If you didn't trade the ES, you weren't a trader.

 

Amazing how you can make some very nice profits (and some days easy profits) w/o even touching that bot crazy market.

Not happy with last night's trade. I was too quick on the trigger imo. Should have waited a bit to see how the market was going to move before putting on a trade. What actually happened was my position got steamrolled as I was on the other side of a moving market.

 

I'm happy with how I limited my losses by using a stop loss and actually sticking to it, however.

Mostly thanks to your posts about other futures. Hopefully everyone else will keep trading the ES as usual. I still haven't really spent much time with bonds during economic announcements. Its on my to do list. Oil and the soybeans keep me pretty busy. I don't have any time for trading this morning. I should be back at it tomorrow. I am always scared I'll miss that huge move on some day that I can't trade, even though I am still on SIM (I take my SIM trades very seriously).

11-17-09: -$77.50

 

A whole bunch of work for that. Some days you got it, other days you don't. A few trades could have been managed better, but tomorrow is a new day.

 

Also - once again, I think I am divorcing the 6E. We seem to have a love/hate relationship and lately it's been a lot of hate. So we are done till I get the itch again. ;)

 

Per a request, I'm going to try to remember to color code my days green = up, red = down. Apparently the - sign is hard to read for some.

-NZ$39.92

 

Put on a short position on the DAX before the US market open and went to sleep. The market didn't decline much then rose, hitting my stop loss.

 

I wonder if there is a function that allows you to move your stops automatically so that it becomes a trailing stop. Will need to find out on my platform.

 

Anyway, the market was rather choppy and non trending today. I'll look for a short opportunity tomorrow. I think the mistake I made today was not waiting for a high probability setup. I knew my stop was likely to get hit but just went for the trade anyway. I think I was just afraid of missing out on a huge move.

No blotter. Down $300 ish. Not good. Couldn't get in the zone today. Still seem to be doing OK on a weekly basis so not panicking yet but my 'hot streak' has definitely died down.

 

On to tomorrow.

 

Cheers.

... been absent last few months.

 

Tuesday's p/l on gbp/usd:

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/members/hedonq-albums-pnl-picture80-11-18.gif

 

 

Tough start but made some defensive and tactical adjustment in mid flight.

The last two trades were terrible, game plan dictated more ambitious target. In hindsight, price reached the target level eventually.

I think I did not not define what exactly needs to happen to invalidate the setup on the last two trades. Some price pressure needs to be considered as long as the setup is valid.

 

Good Luck.

No trading for me for last week and the rest of the week, in case anybody was wondering.

 

You guys are quite impressive with commodities. I lightly trade Oil and in the past some currencies, but I always felt these markets had geo-political and fundamental reasons as to why they moved (my father was a professional trader and taught me this) but you guys prove otherwise everyday.

BR - they all have the reasons for moving but I really enjoy Oil and Soybeans. If you want quick and decisive moves, you should take a peak.

Yeah, I have traded oil I will look at soybeans next week and maybe trade on very light size.

 

FWIW my father and I view all markets from opposite ends of the spectrum. I did not mean because he said that it was right........he traded in the late 1970's early 80's

I missed the big oil move of the day which I had fully anticipated but I was on the road while it happened. Is there a way to make OEC generate a commissions expense so you have a net number at the end of the day. I am still overtrading so I need to get better at waiting for the moves. A big reduction in my P/L might help me with that.

I asked them to implement that before but I don't think it has. Send them a support ticket and I will do the same. Maybe a few of these will get it on their list again. I agree 100%, your p/l should be able to reflect gross AND net.

If you save the thumbnail and re-open it, everything seems OK but not if you just click on it.

Not sure why this is happening. I tried it in Chrome incognito and Firefox with cookies and caches cleared, works fine.

    • 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.
