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.

1:25pm CDT - Glad I traded at least one more day of this system. :) I quit early so that means it will be a banner day with record missed profits. Will update in comments later what I missed if I stuck around all day.

3:05pm CDT - I'm back, doing some testing on a new system I've been backtesting. Trades pullbacks and scales in, all out. I have some discretion but it's 90% mechanical trading for now. Hopefully testing goes well this week and I can get it to 100% but it seems like I can always find a "gray" area when I scroll back where I'm not quite sure how to handle it in my rules.
