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.

November Trading Summary -5.1%
Mon. 11/30 +0.0%
2:45pm CST - Dug a hole early and took all day to get out. Very choppy action on last day of month. Not sure I have any edge if it takes 49 trades to breakeven after commissions. But I have always liked scalping and if I can recover on most bad days like this, perhaps we should continue testing. The goal being to eventually move up from a micro contract to an emini.

Tues. 11/24 +0.0%
2:25pm CST - Testing a new related idea, after some modification to a custom indicator. Did not go great on Day 1 but back to even at least. Stop is not set until after an initial swing H or L made after entry on a fast chart. Need to let winners run more and add on.

Wed. 11/04 -1.1%
3:05pm CST - Volatile day, post election. And Gain say no day trading margins today so I could only put a max of 2 micro lots on in each of my 2 accounts which is a pain in the ass. Normally I can put up to 20 on in each account so how do they think my risk management is so bad?! Volatility is not 1000% more than yesterday.
