Took my first hit on my first trade. First time in 54 weeks. Shit day so just stopping. Not getting great signals. the swing is good and the volume is good but just not getting the action. Cold today and the arthritis is hurting. Las Vegas for good in January

Nothing out of the ordinary for a non active day.

-3 tics and plus 4 ticks = + 1 tic and fees for 16. Close to zero

Volume should be under 1.5 mil to morrow. Check the VIX.

Ready for tomorrow-

Hoping for a good day after yesterday. Only thing wrong with yesterday was me. Fortunate to break even.

Today was wide open so i jumped when i thought to. last one was rough and had to go on the "ride" more than i like.

In good position for tomorrow. Hopefully, volume comes down under 1.5m and stays away from 2950.00.

relax the rest of the day. Still tired from physical therapy so some TV should do it.

Ready for tomorrow-

Thanks D

How did you code your algorithm? I'm a very bad Python coder and I'm thinking about taking Udacity's python for trading course.

It's a manual system.

Slower than it has been but still very busy. Range is way up.

Be ready for wide swings and heavy volatility. VIX still up but not like it was.

Start retesting old parameters for validity. Trading skill has developed since they were initiated.

moving to Las Vegas in 85 days-

Tread lightly.

So choppy but got the results. Went for the ride but not bad. Easy for one of the harder type days.

Need to look over old rules. Possibly getting better at trading.

Volume at 6 am is 120k and range is 15. Market is around the mid line price. Lower volume could be a sign of concern so keep the VIX handy and wait for first wave to complete itself, 10:15 ish.

Last week was great so no givebacks. Sitting close to $800 and do not forget that $600.00 is the goal.

Trading prior to the election may be very volatile so the safe spot is out of the market.

Stops are tighter than it's been but still wider than "normal" times. No more rides.

84 days til Las Vegas, can feel the warmth already.

The trading model i have developed worked without a hitch today. First day in a while no rides and quick in and out.

Big Ed's B-day tomorrow and taking off until Tuesday morning. Should be some fun ahead.

4 contracts were successful and minimal gambling. One more week at 4 and if successful and o gambling, then add $500 to margin and leverage up.

Next Tuesday starting with $3500.00. Nothing to do this week end.

Ready for next week.

Had a great weekend with my lady friend and back to chaos.

Volume is over 475k and range is close to 50 pts. Market is trading at the low end.

Should be more of the same from last week.

Volume should be huge and volatility out of control.

In and out very quick today and look for 2-4 tics.

Was very wild. Went for the ride twice and depended on huge swings. Very risky proposition so highly rewarded.

I remained calm except for once and that was the long ride. Always happens that way. Staying calm is so essential here.

Feeling great about the recent results and staying cautious.

Need that volume down to less than 1.5m.

Thanks DD
