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.

3:00pm CDT - More of same. Once again ZS was within a few ticks of a nice day.
Net breakdown (contracts traded): ZS -$1157(16), GCL -$9(2)
Just so you don't feel alone my trading results have absolutely sucked the last 4-5 weeks too. So I get to thinking hey maybe I should just take off July-Sept in the future, but just as soon as I get that inkling I do a bit of backtesting and see that in previous years those months have made money with my setups. And I trade a diverse range of markets including coffee, euro, s&p, natural gas, and wheat. Just hang in there and I'll see you at the next equity high.
