3:05pm CST - Another crazy day. ES was as wild intra-bar as I can remember. Spurts up and down many points in fractions of seconds. And over 5.4 million shares traded on ES today! That may be a record. Even the volume on closing minute today. For the week, net +$1697. And back to breakeven on the year...

1:45pm CST - I could blame my crappy delayed data but that was just part of my problem today causing a 14% drawdown. At least I quit after getting back to even.  Another day of endless opportunity or risk of ruin.

In old news, Gain data still sucks! But at least the shareholders are likely happy today, who cares about the traders!? www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/intl-fcstone-to-acquire-gain-capital-in-all-cash-deal

2019 Trade Analysis

First non-losing year since 2015 but it was really a wash. Net gain of +$118! I do like the method I'm using (and still tweaking) past 4 months or so and expect to continue that in 2020.

The big picture for past 10 years below.  Easy to be depressed about this but it's in the past and I am an optimist.  I still believe I can be successful and will attempt to realize that in 2020 and beyond.
