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.

Tues. 3/24
2:25pm CDT - Sometimes I hate my 6E system. Today I took a signal feeling fairly sure it was going to suck and it did. But it's hard to code a feeling into a system so taking all the signals is the only way to go. My feeling could have been wrong just as easily. YTD, the 6E system should be up $884 on 13 trades. In reality, I'm up $1825 on 11 trades thanks to missing a couple trades and outperforming on a couple due to not following rules exactly. Being rewarded for doing the wrong thing is rarely good long-term but I will live with with my flaws.
Started live testing a new CL system today. It has clearly defined entries but discretionary trade management and stops.
Net breakdown (contracts traded):
CL $202(10), 6E -$617(1)
