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.

Just think of the taxes you saved yourself by exiting when you did. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI feel like your rules are good, but in cases like this the volume was probably a good indicator it was headed on the way up. But then again, I don't know, since I don't watch the tape on contracts like ZS/ZW. So feel free to disregard any dumb comments I make.
ReplyDeleteMaybe add a new number to your numbers you post every day, like "throw away PnL", then write a reason/comment why it was throw away like, "did not pay attention to volume", "did not pay attention to news", etc.
Michael, I like your thinking but most of my trading is in an IRA.
ReplyDeleteTCat, "throw away P/L" would be embarrassingly high. Not sure I could live with seeing that every day! LOL
