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.

Quarter 1 2010 Trading Results
Nice to end the month and the quarter in the green. May the recent trend continue.
Omigosh - you had flat-lined up until the last few weeks of March ? You really have the head to stay in this game....most others would get discouraged and quit.
I also find your "flat-line" during the first 2/3 to 3/4 of the month very interesting. I find it interesting because, as L&W pointed out on my trading journal blog, I basically flat-lined for the last 2/3 of the month.
He also noted that sometimes these kinds of things are "clues" to something we may be able to learn from. Anything you might be able to put a finger on? Or is this fairly typical for you?
I was trading a variety of strats/discretionary the first couple months with no good results obviously. Since then, I have become more confident in my beans and crude systems so decided to increase lot size by trading my IRA account in addition to my smaller taxed acct. The only thing typical for me is my equity curve has been all over the map the past few years! I have a long ways to go but at least the past month is pointed in the proper direction.
you start trading beans in this q1, right?
