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.

Wed. 5/23 -1.5%
1:25pm CDT - No trading last week and my system would have had a small loss if I had. Had a long signal Monday that nearly got to target before coming back to stop me out last night. Hard to watch that one play out...

No trades
No trades this week and other commitments next week so cobwebs will form here for now....
Interestingly my earlier system (traded faster charts for whole CL session for +6R) would have had 32 trades since 4/30 for $930 net. Versus my current tweak (slower chart, +5.5R, 2 hours a day only) had just 2 trades for $550. If I had traded all session it would have been 9 trades for $1330.
Good weekend/week to all.

Tues. 5/01 -1.2%
12:50pm CDT - OK, I'm slowing things down a bit and trading a slightly slower CL chart with my system and only during 9:30-11:30am CT and with a 5.5R. Still backtests well, much fewer trades, less monthly profit but higher avg. trade profit. We'll see soon enough...
In other news, I'm going to move to Russia. “Since yesterday evening, I’m up 1.5 million rubles ($24,000).”
