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. 5/29 -4.1%
1:55pm CDT - Had some chances to make a number of these losers winners, but going for bigger targets was not working. So clear in hindsight. As usual, my discretionary trade management sucked.

Tues. 5/28 +0.9%
3:35pm CDT - Tweaked system, try again. Discretionary exits remain.
In other news, I'm glad to see the new 1/10 size Micro E-mini futures are doing so well. Today for example, their volume compared to full E-mini contract was 13% for MES/ES, 15% for MYM/YM, 30% for MNQ/NQ, and 22% for M2K/RTY. Not bad! Saw this trading contest too if anyone is interested.

Mon. 5/13 +0.8%
1:10pm CDT - Too bad we can't have a good idea of the range of a day before the day gets going. Holding the 1st or 3rd trade longer would have been a much easier day. Instead a roller coaster...

Fri. 5/10 -1.4%
1:25pm CDT - I'm such a newb! Too long of break or researched too many ideas in past week? Traded new method today and took 8 signals before I realized I was trading them the wrong direction. Epic Fail! You just never know when the market or your mind will throw a wrench in your plan.
