However soybeans bailed me out so it wasn't too bad of day. My discretionary trading this month (since stopping my systems) has been mediocre at best. As I have known from past discretionary runs, I am my own worst enemy most of the time. I need structure and hard and fast rules to dictate what I do on each and every trade. Otherwise, I short change my performance.
Since I quit trading my CL system on 8/18, I have lost $1500 in CL. The system's results in the same time period would have been $5000 (hypothetically).
Since I quit trading my ZS system on 9/16, I have made $3000 in ZS. The system's results in the same time period would have been $2000 (hypothetically).
Going forward, I will once again go back to trading only systems that I have developed and backtested. For the short term, I am going to focus on ZS.
Net breakdown (contracts traded):
ZS $920(18), GCL -$984(10)
ZS $920(18), GCL -$984(10)

Luckily with your experience, you are still alive after that kungfu chop fighting :)If it was me, I'm sure dead with my small account.
