3:00pm CDT - Efforts to find a breakout at the open were for naught.  Iran nuclear deals news at end of day added to the many large swings.

Benchmarking performance is always tough to do in the solo endeavor of being an at-home retail trader. Those fellow bloggers who share all the details of their results, like I do, are the exception and not the rule. Thanks to those who do. You help show the real side of trading.  There's also the TopStepTrader combine program which I have no affiliation or need to try at this point. But I decided to compile successfully passed CL combine data to see what those traders average per contract.  At $10/tick, just 3 ticks is the average but results vary widely which is not too surprising. My net CL profit per contract so far this year? Barely above 1/4 tick but at least it's positive.  Room for improvement...
