Hey guys, I've coded myself a strategy that has performed well and i would like to start a trading journal to see if the results continue. I need a place i can access from any computer so this seems perfect. I will only trade the NQ, ES futures.
Well it has not been a great start to 2015! My current drawdown is $5,777.50 but i will be adding onto that trade today, i will be buying 1 more ES contract, and 1 more NQ contract, i would also like to start buying TF contracts and today looks like a good entry for that, so my open positions are as follows:
1 ES Long @ 1,992.75
1 ES Long @ 2,053.50 = -$3,037.50 (still open)
1 NQ Long @ 4,098.50
1 NQ Long @ 4,235.50 = -$2,740.00 (still open)
1 TF Long @ 1,156.50
Hey mike its all based off of the back testing i have done within tradestation and multicharts portfolio manager. During that testing i found out the the strategy i like to use works best on large indexes. The best performer is SPY but when i add in IWM and QQQ the equity curve gets flatter (attached is an example of the equity curve trading all 3 for the past 10 years). The other reason i use those 3 is simply because they have future contracts with high volume.
Little bit of a better day today! all my positions are still open, if we can get 1 or 2 more days like today we will be exiting the first trade of 2015.
Current open trades:
1 ES Long @ 1,992.75 = +$1,450.00
1 ES Long @ 2,053.50 = -$1,587.50
1 NQ Long @ 4,098.50 =+$1,462.50
1 NQ Long @ 4,235.50 = -$1,962.50
1 TF Long @ 1,156.50 = +$1,580
