A journal to post my thoughts, observations, goals, and results related to trading the e-mini S&P 500 market.
I began to trade live on Monday of this week (7/7/14) after a few years of trading related study and practice. My trading account is inappropriately small for this market, but I've worked very hard for a long period of time to save what I have and I understand the risks associated with under-capitalization (I'm willing to discuss my reasoning if anyone wishes). I'm trading single contract lots at the moment.
My trading decisions are heavily influenced by AMT (MP/VP/Footprints, etc...) and are thus very discretionary. At this point, I am far from a "rule-based" trader. That said, my risk management is strictly rule based for the time being.
I don't know exactly how I'm going to utilize this journal yet. I may post everyday I trade, but I may not. Perhaps I'll post sporadically throughout the week. We'll see.
Comments, suggestions, questions, and especially criticism are all welcome, of course.
