Fri. 8/21 -1.8%

2:45pm CDT - Back at it, sort of.  Been working on backtesting new ideas and enjoying summer.  Trades today partly to keep my 2 accounts active so I don't get hit with inactivity fees!  And yes, the fees would have been less than what I lost today.

2:50pm CDT - Plan was to test system 1 more day and the trading universe is clearly telling me something, see chart (unf*#king believable)! Back to drawing board for awhile. YTD down ~$2.5K or -18%.

Week of 6/22 thru 6/26 -6.1%

4:45pm CDT - Daily tally: -$893, +$469, -$388, +$629, -$577
Tested new system this week and results sucked but if a couple trades had gone other way it would have been an okay week.  So many cases where a tick or two or three would have made all the difference.

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.
