The Myth of the Successful Money Manager
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.

Fri. 10/18
10:20am CDT - Took 2 early losses, ~$1700 total, and then had a nice long trade that came within 2 ticks of breakeven for the day. I stubbornly kept my stop just above entry to give trade lots of room to work higher and paid the price when price worked lower to stop me out. Calling it a day early to work on strategies. For the week, net loss -$159.
Net breakdown (contracts traded):

I've been impressed with your recent changes. Great blog, honesty and integrity. Have a good weekend and hope you have better time next week.
