I am not quite sure which direction price will ultimately go at this point so I took a quick scalp of +6 ticks with 4 contracts at 82.07.

This one for only +5 ticks with 4 contracts. I am going to sim until it breaks out of this range of 82.31 to 81.71.

Well, I am pleased to be positive on my first day back. However, had I not moved my stop out on my big losing trade I would be plus another $300 dollars. That's what I get for NOT following my rules!

Overslept again today. Result was that I missed some great setups. 3 great trades in the area of 83.14 to 83.27 area just after open. I barely missed the last trade and took a late entry. When I saw that it was done moving I closed the 4 contracts at +2 ticks.

Trade worked perfectly! However, I placed the entry order on a different chart and that chart had the account set for "Sim" instead of "Combine". Total bummer! $505.28 went to Sim and NOT Combine.

Had to leave for awhile. Came back and took this. Only took +4 ticks with 4 contracts because of uncertainty of follow through being so close to 82.00.

Took this scalp for +5 ticks with 4 contracts as price initially broke yesterday's congestion range between 81.71 and 82.31.

Seems like there is always one thing that keeps me from having a really good day. Anyhow, I am still pleased. I was interrupted again and have to quit early today to take my daughter to the orthodontist so any more trades I am able to place will be "Sim". Here are my trade results for today:

Product Traded: CL

Total # of Trades: 8
# of Winning Trades: 8
# of Losing Trades: 0
Percent Profitable: 100%

Gross Profit: $440.00
Gross Loss: $0.00
Commissions/Fees: $44.16
Net Profit: $395.84

Max Drawdown: $0.00
Average Winner: $49.48
Average Loser: $0.00

It's good to be back trading again both in a Combine and in my live account. It's time to press on and become a funded trader, forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.

I will be posting my trades and daily results for the Combine starting next week. For now, I will just post my Trade Report for the first two days completed.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I opened NinjaTrader this evening to conduct prep for tomorrow and came by later and saw this opportunity for a quick scalp. Trade was a long with 3 contracts for +11 ticks each less commissions. A nice way to start the week.
