Fri. 6/05 -3.2%

1:15pm CDT - Would have been surprised if I had 5 day of wins. At least I didn't start another new system with a drawdown like usual.  For the week, net +$905.  I'm toying with idea of each trade being closer to a fixed % of my account.  So far, my target and stop are based on a recent swing which varies a lot in size of course.  But with adding micro lots MES to a base ES position, it would be easy to fine tune the risk/reward dollars.  The only real negative is it costs a lot more, in commissions, to trade the MES.

12:35pm CDT - Slow markets, even CL. Everyone is trading the July contract already (double the June volume). Many brokers, mine at least, are allowing liquidation only on June.  ES very sleepy. Had a good signal while at lunch in kitchen.  Oh well...  Net for crappy week -$512.

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?

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.
