This is my new home on FIO, third journal installment after 'Five A Day' and 'Two Pints Of Dax Please'.
Wednesday night I signed up for the currently discounted Gauntlet, today I got the account and datafeed details to get up and running, ends June 10th. Only one exchange allowed for free (I'm guessing this is the discounted version) so as I trade YM I need CBOT and will no longer be watching intraday charts of ES, NQ, 6E, 6B and GC from CME as I used to do with TST and I no longer have eSignal. I think this might actually be a good thing for my small brain.
I intend to take this challenge seriously, have set the following custom E2T Gauntlet rules:
Day Max Loss 330
Week Max Loss 750
Month Max Loss 1500
Day Profit Target 200
Week profit Target 400
Month Profit Target 1200
Conservative, and I obviously need to exceed the monthly targets if I am going to pass the 2500 Gauntlet pass target. [The maths was a bit Shirazzy late Wednesday when I signed up.]
Pretty Picture just for Kick Off:
First day finished positive, didn't make many mistakes, got out fast when I did, didn't pull or move stops and generally behaved myself, remarkable really. Too many trades but then today was a get into the new setup day.
I will be watching a mixture of 240, 15, 5 and 1 minute charts with all my own homebrew gear installed, and trying not to change them for the next two months. Fortunately I have the grandfathered fully paid Ninja licence so am using NT7 with the Rithmic feed.
Cheers :beer: :cheers: Shiraz Friday as well tonight.
