A daily chronicle of results of one retail futures trader trading my own accounts. I define myself as a day trader and generally swing for at least a few points most of the time. But I do make the occasional scalp for ticks too.

No Fill Limit Orders
3:00pm CDT - Frustrating Day - had 3 trades (2 winners, 1 loser) but had 5 signals (4 winners, 1 loser). The 2 signals I didn't trade both ended up being winners (5.75 pts. total) but my limit orders did not get filled as my price was traded but didn't go through by at least a tick to guarantee a fill. I know this happens all the time and is a risk you take with limit orders but still!! My last trade short in the final 10 mins. I took off a point earlier than my target which then hit of course. So all in all I feel like I missed out on over $300 today...
