March challenge

Some very interesting journals out there. I took the time to go through a few and I loved how some of the traders put everything on display: setups, feelings, techniques, thoughts, ideas, own...

April 12th, EOD ES: $58.92

I said in a previous post: I should switch to and use signals from charts on higher time frames when the ATR on 5min is too small. The swings may still be there and they can be captured by putting...

April 11th, ES EOD: $59.80

A slow day and a good occasion to learn one or two things, get new ideas for the code. I had a black-out period caused by problems with NT and I cannot even replay the last few days missing from the...

Not too many trades today, for various reasons. Since it's a profitable day, I don't mind too much, but will still study the rejected trades. Later...

April 5th: good start of day

The first entry gave me two points. Well, there was more on it, but it got stopped by the auto trail. Can't complain. The chart:

April 4th, ES: $63.38 so far

I am happy with the fixes for preventing trades a number of minutes after the news and with for the measured move target miscalculation. In the process, I noticed another issue with the news dates,...

April 3rd, ES EOD: some -$120

I started the strategy only a few minutes before 2pm, during a meeting break. It looked like 1402 would be a good reversal point and I placed an order to buy there, real money. After a few seconds, I...

Taking a breather

As I am working off-site and am involved in all day meetings, not much trading is going on, so I don't have much to update here.

Yesterday, I got stopped out three times in the morning, for a...

When I know it will reach a level, I can't stand knowing I may get drawdown, so I place the order exactly on the level. It works well in sim/replay, but I don't get filled in real trading.

Would you recommend to others that they should also start a trading journal?

It would be presumptuous for me to advise on starting a trading journal specifically on futures.io (formerly BMT), but journaling every trading day is a must if you are working on becoming profitable...

How do you feel, overall, about your journaling experience?

I can't think of any negative aspect. I am not sure there is any benefit from reading for whoever stumbles upon my journal, but it works well for me. Making a journal public adds some zest to it,...

Were you initially reluctant to start this trading journal? If yes, why?

A bit, but not enough to stop me from doing it. The main reasons:
- the reaction from other traders. I wasn't sure what to expect on futures.io (formerly BMT), since the journal started my posting...

No more trades after the last post, mainly because of the small ATR. I have reinstated the exception that keeps me out of the market if the average of the last few bars is below 1 point. I am going...

March 30th, ES: -$62.06 so far

Only three trades so far, 2 x 1 point loss, 1 point profit. The indicator keeps me out for most of today, one of the reason being the lack of respect for the EMA(20) and unusually long moves in one...
