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.
Ouch. Why is your avg loss so much bigger than your avg win?
ReplyDeleteOuch is right. Dude, you need help! I'm dead serious. If you want to talk shop, lets do it! We probably live within a few miles of each other. Lets work on fixing whatever your problem is. Stop bleeding your account! You have my email address; if you're interested, send me your contact info.
ReplyDeleteI agree with e-mini player. Take a break before you lose more money. I know you have said you don't like to test it in SIM, but that is really what you need to do. Postponding this will continue costing more and more money and your confidence in trading will vanish.

Damn man...as I see it you are trading for action or excitement more than profits or consistency. But don't fret it can be fixed because you are obviously not afraid to pull the trigger or lose money. The key to trading is learning to get on the right side of price action. It appears your bias and trades constantly run counter to price action which causes these outsized losses. Take EP up on his advice and put some gas in the car and meet up with him. Slow it down or go trade a forex microlot acct if you have the trading bug so that you don't get hurt so bad. You are using up the most important capital a trader has...his confidence in his abilities.
ReplyDeleteMBA,
ReplyDeleteTrade less contracts till you get your 'mojo' back.
