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.

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: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
