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.

Your results this week were much more balanced - looking good!
ReplyDeleteOne improvement I think you could add to the system rules is only look for signals in the direction of the main trend, which would have cancelled acting on any long signals today.
I lost $177 outright gambling on the facebook IPO. So much for disciplined trading. I figured I was in the clear and had a decent profit after having read the tape and put on a manual trade, but then all of a sudden a massive seller came out of nowhere, pounded the price down, and I was screwed from the start.
ReplyDeleteAh well. The one time I manually trade, I get handed a little beating. And to think, you do this crazy stuff every day manually!

Thanks Soullfire - still working on filters...
ReplyDeleteTC, you should have bought FB at $38! :)
