Trader P/L 2010

Recommended Posts

A few swing trades dragged down my PnL... Otherwise a good month. Too many trades.

My goal this year is to get my average trade up to $38, and reduce the number of trades.

So far I am realizing that my percentage may have to slip a bit in order to keep the bigger trade. We'll see.

CL sure is a zippy little market, Brownie. I never realized how that thing can just roll thrrough ticks like it does. Its like trading the 6E during a news release, but it seems for CL, the quick ticking keeps right on rolling. I see a lot intraday gaps on the tick chart as well. They usually fill immediately, but I see many times where atrade will take place at, for example, 73.28, and the next print is 73.18, but price quickly rolls the dime and ends back at 73.28, even if for just a tick.

Yep, this little bugger moves. Anyone thinking of trading this should watch live, real-time charts first.

And only 11 trades?!

 

:)

 

;)

 

(Actually 12 - I just made a late afternoon trade is ES +75)

 

My numbers are lower than I like (I prefer to be on the other side of 500) but I am back to profitable with only one losing day (small) this week.

 

Thanks to all in this thread for keeping me honest!

I am continuing what I plan to be a three week exploration demo trading CL. At the end of three weeks, if all goes as well as it has gone so far (last week and today), I will replace the ES as my non-currency future for day trading and replace it, at least temprarily, with CL.

 

Here is my demo blotter from today - using Ninja trader, and again, it is a demo, not live.

Like I posted before, trending days are not for me. A few reasonable trades on the other futures saved me from annihilation.

 

Amen! I hate trending days - give me a range bound market any day! lost -250 in Oil and had to switch over to ES to make some money.

 

+287.50 for the day

The overnight was pretty good. Letting my robot do the trading for me while I sleep.

 

My robot was up all night trading and he started off well but then lost a couple big ones, got emotional, and revenge traded till morning. Not good p/l in the end.

+$1,670

 

Yea! Best SIM day ever.:)

Oil was acting weird in the morning so I gambled on it being a big down morning and just trailed my stop at pullbacks. Keeping a trailing stop 30 ticks back is hard on SIM, I can't imagine doing it with real money. 6E was bad. For some reason I just couldn't get my head around the fact that I should be short the Euro. Calling it a day now before I go blow my profits on bad setups thinking I'm supertrader.

Good day considering all my a.m. computer problems and watching the CL tank without me....at least I earn a living.

I have to give some credit to my autobot....thanks.

 

Yeah, my autobot was sitting the couch this morning eating cheese nips saying how it wasn't going to be a trend day since we just had one...yada yada. Then he turned into a camaro and drove off. Luckily, I didn't believe him and had a good trading day.

 

Sorry, the robot comments just flow everytime you talk about it. I'll try to resist the urge.

No, keep them coming. Those damned auto bots are trying to take over the market and put us discretionary traders out of business. If it wasn't for us discretionary traders, those auto bots would not have even been invented. As a matter of fact, they couldn't trade spit without us to hold their hands...

most of my homework works out but in the end I have a lot of trouble holding futures, I have a far out target and end up settling for something closer because of nerves. I need to work on this.

    • 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.
