Thurs. 10/15

1:10pm CDT - OK, I need bigger winning days or smaller losing days. Another frustrating day giving back 3 days of gains.  Had some nice MFE's but was holding for more.

    Just curious: what percentage of your wins since you started aiming for $200/day were greater than 20 ticks?

    About 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.

      Thanks. 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.
