Summary of Trades

Ugly day... Three loses and out dont want to temp faith.... Out of sync with market and stayed that way. I believe inventory day has something to do with it.

Same thing as yesterday almost. Started the day off very choppy for me and got into a groove with the market at the end. Need to find a way to be a little more selective. My drawdowns are in line with my trading plan but the commissions eat me up when I try to recover. Can not complain though, acid test is going well.

Summary of Trades

A lot of trading for me today. Was in the hole most of the start trading. Found a good rhythm with the market at the end and was able to have a decent day. Should have been a little more selective in my trades as I almost hit my stop loss for the day with 3 contracts.

This marks 20 days of trading. I am very happy with my stats. Even though I did not reach the 70% mark, I am keeping my trades to 4 ticks winners, 5 tick losers ratio. For the 20 days, am up $2800 after commissions. Right on track to pass the acid test.

Summary of Trades

This passed week has been the best trading for me by far. I have a summary screen shot of the trading from Monday the 12th to today Friday the 16th. Couple of things, win percentage is over 80% plus I added a contract after passing positive $1000 after commissions. This is the closest I have been to passing the Acid Test. Am feeling good about my trading and daily approach I take to the markets. If a trade hits a target it hits, if it stops out, it stops out. I dont worry and try to keep my emotions in check. When am out of sync with the market, I stop. Plain and simple but very hard to accomplish. I have been at this religiously for 16 months now. I have a long way to go, but I believe as Ed says through experience you gain some insight into market movement and how the different markets move and react.
