3:20pm CST - I guess I should be getting used to my system's volatility in results given the number of trades but today sucked all around.  For the week, net -$927. (would have been over a grand in the green if I had taken all of Monday's signals!)

Mon. 12/10 +5.1%

3:00pm CST - Kicking myself harder than usual today. I missed the first trade of day (a winner) as I was in the bathroom.  Then I elected to stop for day after 3 winners in a row.  A nice profit is good to sit back and relax on, no? Well, it could be if I make future decisions to stop trading after being down with a string of losers.  But I generally don't do this or believe in it.  And it's a crime to have outlier losing days but not allow outlier winning days!  This was one of those days.  If I had taken all signals, today would have been: 23 Wins, 6 Losses, Net $2900.  I didn't even get 1/4 of this!

Now I know if an edge is consistent throughout a trading day (if time of day is truly irrelevant), it really doesn't matter if you miss trades, go eat lunch, answer door, etc.  Just keep trading when you are able and the results will work themselves out.

I'm getting close to being able to get automated backtest results but my Ninjascript code is so inefficient it's hard to run on my computer.  Takes forever or locks up Ninja and I have to start over. Manual results so far I'm pleased with.  1:1 RR, just over 57% winners, reasonable drawdowns, and gross avg. gain is 5.4 ticks per trade per contract.

Thurs. 12/06 +3.0%

2:50pm CST - It was tough to keep up with all the signals in first hour or so as NQ was all over the place.  Bailed at BE on last trade that would have added another $200. And completely passed on another long after that that would have been another $200.  My gut said to protect profits with little time left in day but the plan was to take all signals until close.

Demo Results

1:00pm CST - Traded demo account this week.  It's so easy a monkey do it!  Seriously though, my approach averaged into positions (5-lot NQ max) and scaled out too.  Lots of discretion and a bit reminiscent of my trading in 2007 when I was wildly successful until doubling down endlessly nearly killed me.  I may attempt to recreate some portion of this week's Sim success in live account soon. The key will be to be unbiased, quick, nimble, and rarely blow out of a 5-lot max position and when I do, limit loss to around a typical day's profit.
