1:45pm CST - Sometimes I have to relearn lessons the hard way. Maybe this would have been sustainable in a less volatile market but back to drawing board.  With most failures, I have new ideas.

Mon. 11/12 +4.6%

3:20pm CST - $3600/contract range today in NQ may not have been the best day to go live.  I escaped several close calls with 4 digit MAEs.  So much different with real $ on the line than trading SIM.

Demo Results

1:00pm CST - Traded demo account this week.  It's so easy a monkey do it!  Seriously though, my approach averaged into positions (5-lot NQ max) and scaled out too.  Lots of discretion and a bit reminiscent of my trading in 2007 when I was wildly successful until doubling down endlessly nearly killed me.  I may attempt to recreate some portion of this week's Sim success in live account soon. The key will be to be unbiased, quick, nimble, and rarely blow out of a 5-lot max position and when I do, limit loss to around a typical day's profit.
