Mon. 9/12
1:25pm CDT - I'm back after a long break, part vacation, part research/sim trading. The reality that I've woken up to is that my trading capital is much less than it was and I need to do a much better job at controlling risk and only increase size after demonstrated consistent growth of the equity curve.
I'm trading a new strategy that is mostly mechanical but not entirely. It's pretty simple really, doesn't use volume profile or anything like that and will certainly have losers like any method. I'm trading NQ for now and the goal is to make $100+ most days. Part of the plan includes a "time out." If I have a negative week, the following week (or as many weeks as it takes), I trade only sim until I have a positive week there, then I can return to live trading the next week. This blog will continue to post only live trades. I started on sim last week and was positive, so this week is live trading and today was a good day to be long. I'm not worried about how much I left on the table or anything like that as it doesn't matter. The journey continues...
