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.
Just curious: what percentage of your wins since you started aiming for $200/day were greater than 20 ticks?
ReplyDeleteAbout 14% of actual trades over past month have been +20 ticks or more realized. Of my profitable trades, it's 23%. A better question might be what my results would look like if I had a fixed stop, didn't trail to BE, and had a target of at least 20 ticks on every trade. But I don't track that so hard to say.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That BE stop is definitely a siren. I think I may be starting to kill the temptress, but I don't trust her to stay dead.
