Mon. 2/14 - Red for Valentine's Day

1:30pm CST - Began digging a new hole for the week but at least it's on last week's higher plateau. Grains were very opposed to my signals today and tough for me to trade. I should have quit after my first trade of the day, +$200 on CL. Hindsight...

Net breakdown (contracts traded):
ZS -$2707(45), ZC -$376(5), CL $206(1)
RESULTS FOR DAY
Contracts:51
Net $P/L:-2877
Wins:2
Losses:7
Win%:22
Avg$Win:309
Avg$Loss:-499

    It's ok, MBA, you should be very green on St. Patrick's day then :-) Jokes aside, it's the year-end fig that counts. Right? And you did well in 2010 :-)

    A little pullback on the way to bigger gains. Is it Don Miller that says the trade is entered on the first day of the year and closed out on the last? In between is just the little waves up and down.

    Yes, it IS the sum total of the year that counts. But I'm still allowed to complain a bit aren't I? :D

    On that subject (sort of), your 2010 equity curve is a thing of considerable beauty!

    This chart is seldom made public so it is a rare chance for people to see exactly what a bastard (sorry, but seems the most appropriate word!) variance is.

    Thanks L&W. At first glance I thought you called me a bastard. LOL -Somebody's got to show this stuff to keep things real.
