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.

MBA, how familiar are you with option trading? Option trading allows you to limit your risk without having to use a discretionary stop, and the bang for the buck can go a long way. For example, $1000 "invested" into a option can easily return 50-200% without having to watch the position like a hawk.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, discretionary day-trading can lead to a lot of over trading and 2nd guessing stop placement and profit targets. Not to mention parting ways with a large % of vital trading capital.
Sorry for the rambling, hope 2020 is your best year!
Was a bit familiar back in the day when I passed my Series 7. Not so much lately. Perhaps I should add to my homework pile! Hope your 2020 is the best too!
DeleteIt was a very good 2 weeks, somewhere in there, a key to the kingdom.
