Not really a journal.

It's hard for me to do a journal because I stopped using NinjaTrader and DeskTop Pro doesn't have any way of notating trades like NT so it's harder. Hopefully they will add that soon. I would like...

Not a bad month.

I did a couple very stupid things around the 10th. It was a lesson WELL learned. Will do my best to not repeat that mess. It cost me over 6%. It was not that I was wrong and a stop got hit. I...

Almost worst case scenario(and how I handled it)

Ok, so this was a perfect example of my position building technique.

I don't know why, but I seem to always be partial to shorts. I guess because usually the downward moves have the most...

Just two trades on a chilly Monday morning

I took two trades tonight. The first one, GY I just couldn't see any reason whatsoever to short, so took half a position to start and added after it went up. Didn't like the dip back down, but knew...

Yeah, I trade short term (100t chart with 15, 60 & 240m for trend analysis) and I don't use targets per se. I use low enough leverage to just get in and see what happens. I add to the position...

I appreciate your directness and your viewpoint but I think you misunderstood. I wasn't saying that my win rate was better than 50%(actually it is around 75-85%) What I was saying was that taking...

One dance with the beast

Did this earlier in the evening. Decided to stay away from the beast and move to something a little more tame, E/U. I suppose I could have had a tight stop and reversed after the first position...

E/U Trades

More scaling into the trade. 1.05% profit with .06 max drawdown. Would have closed it if it got to .075 which would have been a close below 1.3694. Would have been looking for shorts if that had...

MAE

Thanks for the info Mike, I'll take a look at it. Although, I'm not real happy with NinjaTrader. It seems very buggy and glitchy for such an expensive app(yes I know that pricey≠good). I think I'm...

Risk

I don't know what those numbers are in my case. I do know that I have an average win rate of 80+% and I usually can manage to grow an account 1-3% per day with no more than .5% dd on most trades...

Well, maybe just one more trade.

This is what you call building a position. I really only do this on GY because it's zones are so wide(and choppy). I was very confident of another push down(before a possible retest of resistance),...

Tuesday GY trades

Well it wasn't my best night, but still managed to make 1.3% although with almost 3% drawdown. I let myself go to 5ish percent drawdown per trade on GY just because you need to give it more room and...

Monday Night Fights

Here's the story of my scalps tonight. Was trading very low leverage, still managed to make 1.1% with probably less than .4% max drawdown. Wasn't going to take any chances on longs with the sharp...

My very first online trading Journal. Yay!

It's late, I'm tired(and done trading), but I had a profitable day. Today was 57 trades, 50 pips profit for a 3% increase in equity with no more than .5% drawdown on any trade. Pretty much how I...
