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: 10th March 2025.   SNP500 Hits a 6-Month Low: Trade Policy & Recession Fears Weigh on Market`s.   The SNP500 completes a 3-week decline and falls to its lowest price since September 2024. The price continues to remain under pressure from President Trump’s trade policy. In addition to this, investors are becoming increasingly cautious about a potential US recession. SNP500 - Trade Policy and The Federal Reserve’s View On The Economy The US Non-Farm Employment data on Friday read lower than what analysts were expecting. However, the data does not yet indicate a recession. Investors are increasingly showing a lower risk appetite and cautiousness due to Trump’s trade policy on China, Mexico and Canada. The NFP Change read 151,000, 8,000 lower than predictions and the Unemployment Rate rose to 4.1%. The poor price movement is more driven by comments from the US President. Yesterday evening on Fox News, the US President addressed concerns about a potential US recession, advising the economy will undergo ‘a period of transition.’ However, some see this as a subtle warning of a short economic downturn. Though the Chairman of the Federal Reserve is taking a different tone and looking to reassure the market.     Mr Jerome Powell advises the FOMC is not expecting or worried about a US recession. ‘The US economy remains in a strong position despite heightened uncertainty,’ Powell stated at a University of Chicago event. He also said that sentiment readings have been a reliable tool for predicting consumption growth in recent years. ‘There is no need to rush, we are in a good position to wait for more clarity,’ was his answer to questions about interest rates. On the one hand, the SNP500 may witness support from the positive comments from the Fed regarding the economy. He also clarified that certain economic indicators are not predicting a recession regardless of the lower figures. However, the comments on interest rates and keeping them unchanged for a longer period can pressure the price of the index. Will The SNP500 Continue Declining? The FedWatch tool indicated a 92% chance of a pause in this month’s Fed Rate Decision, but the figure has risen to 97%. If the possibility of a rate cut continues to be unlikely in the near future, the SNP500 may continue to remain under pressure. Currently, the VIX, an index used as an indication of risk, is trading more than 4.00% higher. For this reason, the VIX continues to indicate a poor performance in the short-term. Asian and European indices are trading lower this morning as are US indices. As a result, the performance of the global stock market shows a ‘risk off’ sentiment. SNP500 - Technical Analysis The price of the SNP500 is currently trading 0.73% lower and gains bearish momentum as the European market opens. In the 2-hour timeframe, the price is trading below the main Moving Averages and VWAP. The index also remains within the ‘sell’ zone of the RSI and MACD. On the 3-minute chart, the price remains below the 200-bar SMA and sell signals may continue to materialize for as long as the price remains below this level.     Key Takeaways: The SNP500 has declined for three consecutive weeks, hitting its lowest level since September 2024. The main cause of pressure is from Trump’s trade policies and recession concerns. Weaker-than-expected US employment data raised caution. However, the Fed reassured markets, stating there is no imminent recession and no rush to adjust interest rates. The FedWatch tool now shows a 97% chance of a rate pause, reducing hopes for near-term cuts. Technical indicators suggest continued bearish momentum, with the index trading below key moving averages and remaining in the sell zone on RSI. Always trade with strict risk management.
