Thurs. 4/30 +3.1%

12:55pm CDT - Quitting early to lock in a positive month.  All in all not too bad. I knew that one +20% week was not realistic and ended with +8% for month. That would be fine with me if I can repeat that most months.

Wed. 4/22 -7.2%

2:40pm CDT - And just like that, I'm back to even on what was a good month. Lost confidence in system today for sure and will do more homework.  Moving stops to BE was not beneficial today for sure.

2:10pm CDT - System totally out of sync with 5 full stop outs today. Should have quit earlier. Almost got $500 back on that last BE trade (nearly hit target).  Uncle!
At least I'm not trading crude right now, OMG and WTF are my thoughts watching it...

EDIT 1:00pm - Anyone not watching May Crude Oil (CLK20, expires tomorrow), pull up chart.  It traded 1 cent! 
Let's see, if you bought at a penny, and sold at $22 in a month (June contract price) = 220,000% return! Where can I store 1000 barrels for a month?

Fri. 4/17 +3.5%

2:25pm CDT - Net $2560 for week. Not bad, +20%. Hopefully I can keep it in the days/weeks/months ahead.  I know it's only a matter of time before things won't go so well on a given day.  But it's nice to step on the gas a bit this week while conditions seemed favorable.  It still feels like a very fragile edge, if any, these past 7 trading days with this new ES approach.  As always, time will tell.

2:50pm CDT - Very tough day and frustrating with signals firing in many wrong places. Glad to come out ahead. I think I had 10 stop and reversals which is indicative of being caught in the chop.  By the way, thanks for recent comments Trin and Michael. Just realized I had turned "on" comment moderation (f'ing spammers) awhile ago and forgot. Will add checking this to daily routine.
