Going to keep a tight stop on this incase.

Theres a little battle going on.

Looks like the emini might hold...

 

[darkhorse70]

Obviously im not taking into consideration brokerage fees. Bottom line in this trade would be 5$ lol.

Brokerage fees will be accounted for later down the track. I usually dont go for very small trades of 1 lot 1 tick but its all about assessing a situation. If the markets offered, im getting out.

Why not just do an end of day summary of what you did rather than 10,000 posts like the above throughout the day?

 

[darkhorse70]

Haha, never thought of it.

Makes sense though.

Ill just type it all up then post at the end.

I do enjoy the closer to real-time update though, I look with interest whenever I see a trade. Forums probably a bad medium for it. Anyway post however you're happy, look forward to progress.

 

[darkhorse70]

Well that's what I was thinking to minwa. It's more legitimate.

Anyone can say I bought at this price and sold at this price. The idea was to prove that my fills were real time.

I was actually in the process of a trading project online but am in the middle of converting it to a blog/community site. When I say community, not an online community but more of a medium to creating real event days in Sydney from the trading group to meet up and discuss ideas face to face.

Plus ill also keep my journal there.

And since you asked for it,

1 long x @ 21

1 sold x @ 21.5

Profit - $15USD

I should of limit ordered and instead I hit at market when I was going long. Got filled at 21.0 when I could have been filled at 20.5.


haha

By the way, notes are bid and equities coming in offered slightly.

Notes bid @ 22.5 currently.

I feel as though most of my trades hypothesis are correct but I can never seem to hold on.

I need to find a balance between taking profits and holding on.

Its a double edged sword. I mean if you have a high win rate, low equity draw down, capital is no problem. The beauty of derivatives is leverage. But hanging on to bigger winners could create a more volatile equity curve with potentially more draw downs...

 

[darkhorse70]

The beauty of trading notes is, there range is tiny. So when I think the equities might go offered, and the notes offers start getting heavier I take a moment to re analyse the scenario. When you are trading a big range equity, its hard to pinpoint the very point of resistance. I have done so with the dax and spotted points where if it broke it would rocket up but when your dom is moving up and down and the numbers are bigger more varied, you lose some of that sixth sense.

My humble opinion though.

It is the illusion of a double edged sword, if you want to trade intraday then ignore the "big winners" and concentrate on the winrate consistency and low volatility equity curve. Just forget it, it will do your head in thinking about it.

I agree sinner, thanks mate.
