Both of my pre-market fundamental trades worked out but I only traded one of them. Did not trade anything else today which is too bad because my 6E pre-market worked out also.

Hey Bathrobe,

Is this SIM or real money you are trading? Those are some pretty big numbers...

Bathrobe is our resident "big stick" live trader. I believe he posted up a 60k day in the '09 thread. Certainly left me with room to improve... ;)

Thanks daedalus, I am flattered.

 

I just want to re-emphasize to those that may be reading this for the first time I was originally a terrible, impulsive trader (futures) and I have sacrificed quite a lot during my learning curve.

Another week gone by and ended up +$500 for the week which I am happy with considering the couple rough days. Swings were much better today but I was cutting everything short because of yesterday's range problems. Too many trades again.

+$2255 (+$6266 for the week). Finally, a decent day after a great day. I'll take that. Just an interesting story here.... My first trade of the day (which is that +$2700 trade in my blotter) was 4 minutes in duration. To be honest, I just got lucky as hell. My system shorted AMLN, right before the bottom dropped out on a huge volume spike at around 10:35ish and then took it's profit at the bottom of that spike.

After my first entry I was up 50 ticks. Had a few more good entries but made a miscalculation and got a full stop out which burned me bad. I have become somewhat dissatisfied with my under $450 days. My good day average should be higher at this point.

Great news! I just realized daylight savings started so I wasn't even trading during my most profitable time which is the hour right after open. :doh:

 

I got all my charts adjusted and turned back my alarm clock. I'll actually be ready for open tomorrow. For some reason I had it in my mind that I didn't need to worry about daylight savings until April.

Wasn't expecting a trend up day. Had 3 full stop outs so things were looking bleak before the 3rd move up. A setup close to my most trusted setup occured after 10:00 EST so even though I hate trading lunchtime, I took it and got my 40 ticks to end the day well. Probably should add another contract when I see that setup. Getting up to trade at 4:15am is not going to be easy but were going to make it work.

I never bother with FOMC days. Slow slop before, spastic after - no "normal" action 90% of the time. I gotta admit though, I look forward to them. I get a nice little mini vacation each time. :)

 

Spent my day sleeping in, watching movies, and working on my tennis serve! All in all - a great FOMC day for me!

Daedalus,

That's great advice. I think I'm going to join you on your day off next time......
