Trader P/L 2010

Recommended Posts

As the new year approaches, we will use this thread to start the p/l tracker for the year 2010. I think the 2009 thread turned into a great success, so I hope we can keep it going here.

 

A few reminders that we can reference in case there's questions later (mainly from new people to the thread):

 

WHAT TO POST IN THIS THREAD

In this thread, you post screenshots of your profit/loss blotter (p/l). This can easily be done by using a screen capture program like SnagIt and then taking a screenshot from your broker's software.

 

In addition to the screenshots of your p/l blotter, there will be plenty of discussions going on throughout the thread. As long as the discussions stay productive, I try not to moderate this thread very much. Keep it on track and we'll have a productive thread once again.

 

WHY POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOU ARE A TRADER MAKING MONEY

  • Create a place where you are accountable.
  • Get feedback on your trades, progress, etc.
  • If you do want to post charts, you will probably get feedback on these as well.
  • Occasionally you'll get a PM from a new person that says 'Thanks, you've given me some ideas or given me drive to do this'.
  • If you find yourself in a rut, even while making money, this thread can help to push you once again.

WHAT THIS THREAD CAN GIVE TO THOSE THAT ARE NOT YET PROFITABLE

  • Show those new to trading it can in fact be done.
  • Show that there's many ways to make money in trading (by seeing a variety of blotters from people posting here).

WHY POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOU ARE NOT MAKING MONEY

  • Showing your results in a public forum on a consistent basis can be a humbling experience, but it can also help you to focus and keep pushing forward.
  • You might just need a friendly push from some here to get you over that hump.
  • If you want to post charts and dissect your trades, you may get some much needed feedback from a fresh set of eyes.

Obviously participation here is voluntary. If you want to participate, then have at it. If you don't want to participate, feel free to observe.

Great stuff Browns,

 

Your trading the CL contract using candlestick analysis has convinced me that it would be an effective addition to my stock and forex trading method ( I'll hope to trade the oil charts alongside oil stocks).

 

I really enjoyed reading the thread last year, unfortunately I was not able to post most of the time due to time constraints (as I'm at university in the UK at the moment...they work us hard!).

 

Hope everyone has a happy Christmas and a prosperous new year!

 

Best wishes

Jan 4th +437

 

My goal this coming few months is to only trade my better setups and finally learn to pass on all the in between trades. I posted the individual trades for a little more accountability. I missed 2 great ones on oil and another one on the 6E because I didn't set up my alerts. I am also trying out the alerts to help me stay away from the excess trading trading. I am pretty busy at my corporate job during January so we'll see how often I can get my P/L posted.

Just to keep some spice in the pot, I will try to also post a few updates occasionally on my stock trading progress based on the thread I started Here.

Here is where I am at right now. The "gain" column shows overall $(%) gain or loss for that particular holding. These are real money trades and I am still working on my methods so exits aren't ironed out yet but entries are getting better. I have only sold one stock so far from this portfolio which was RAIL and I made 8%.

Hey guys,

 

This will be my first post on this forum outside of Thales's thread. lol

 

I thought I'd join the fun over here...

 

Pretty good first trading day for the year...this was my first day live in a long time. I started today with a $250 FXCM micro UK account.

 

I'll post today's P/L just for fun because I'm excited! :) I'm not going to make a habit of this though. At the most, I'll post weekly P/L. To me, it's just added stress to have to worry about posting daily results. I don't think I'm personally ready for that.

Here is a screen shot. Around +$5900

 

This is from my account but I am opening a separate account with $10k to trade money for my brother and when it is funded I will be posting p/l from that account instead of my account. I will be trading the two side by side but mine will come first.

 

My account did not get to the size it is trading the es, but for me the es is the best way to earn on a larger account. I think my brothers account is probably closer in size to others posting in this thread. I don't think the account will be open until about the 15th of this month so I will switch over then.

+275 again. Same amount as yesterday although a much better day. 4 winners in a row, and the 1 losing trade was actually a mistake. Bit of a mix up. Not to worry

 

 

 

edabreu. How do you get you account performance to show the pips? Mine seems to want to show me the percentage of my account i made/lost on each trade..?...thanks

Overtraded once everything got going this morning. I can't believe oil held up at the 81 range. I thought the late breakdown was going to take it down for sure.

Points is not accurate (but this is how you switch from % to point) because it does not tell you the relative point value if you trade instrumnets with different point values

1/7/10: +$882

 

This is just SIM but it was an exciting day. I got out of several positions way to early (ES and GNG(natural gas)) and still did well. Over the past few days I feel like I am finally getting my method down and learning what I want to trade. It is funny how excited you can get over SIM results. I am definitely going to start taking some real money trades once my work load is not so heavy.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
