Off to a rocky start but at least I stopped the bleeding. My first day I was down $-500 out the box. By the time I got set up to trade it was the afternoon low volume trading. Big mistake! I am selling low at the low and the market wasn't going anywhere. Today I pull out $50 from the market which was much better relatively speaking.
This is going to be more like a marathon not a sprint. My strategy for combine and beyond is to make 2, 3, or 4
points a day. Keep it simple and trade my edge which is
price action . However when the market is trending hard those 3 or 4 days a month, that is when I will be aggressive and back up the truck. I can literally make $3K alone in a strong trending day. So, I have to stay in the game and live to trade another day.
Advice for those who will start the combine. Start small, trade small until you are comfortable with this this system. One thing that surprise me was when I took the trade and started feeling nervous as if I was playing with my own money. I thought it would feel more like SIM trading but my mistake. All the emotions were back again.
