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.

For the week, pretty choppy with a teeny tiny uptrend...
Still watching your progress; got caught up in side issues. What was the length of your backtest, btw?
The other question I have is: what stocks have a connection to the ZS contract? Kind of amazing how volatile that thing is. If I traded futures, I'd probably have a try at that contract myself.
Hey TC, it was about 1.5 years of data. Not sure what stocks have a high correlation with ZS but I know of a few ETFs related but mixed with other grains: DBA, JJA, JJG.
