Made a few trades. At first I felt like oil and equities were going to go bid, tried to get in, cut losses (1 or 2 ticks), repeated again.
After 7pm and Draghis announcement, I think I went short on the notes before flipping and loading up 3 lots. Oil felt offered. Sold out near the high of the note, while slowly unloading the position.
Total Profit After losses : 120$

Went short 2 lots at 31.5
I feel like oil is still bid even though it hasnt been able to move much. Equities look like they have some buyers but its one of those trades I need to keep a close eye on. Willing to risk my profits on the trade.

Last night went long after the GBP figures released. Went long 2 lots.
Scaled out of first lot several minutes later = +$78
2nd lot = + $125
Oiled looked like it was going to topple over and equity was showing some resistance to move up.
I was going to hold one lot for longer but if im not in front of the comp its like punting so I took my profits.

Just hopped on the comp but might potentially smack the offers on the notes in 3 minutes after monetary policy meeting minutes are released.
Oil might be moving up + equities. Notes look slightly over extended. Good opportunity, maybe...

Shorted 1 lot a while ago.
Covered 1 lot long for 1 point profit.
I held on for a while but after going onside for 2 points it pulled back.
Might be a boring day till tonight.

Yeah i know...i'm seriously hoping it has to do with the data i have (years) and the speed and packet loss of the connection. So i'm not going to do anything until i get connected in Aust...I've had so many conversations with NT support they address me by my first name as if we're old mates now...they keep saying that i have too much lost data and its the main cause of my problems. So, i'm happy to leave it at that and i suppose i should stop complaining

lol, at least you didnt accidentally delete your entire workspace and have to start from scratch. I dont even have nt on my comp to use market replay. SIM gets boring, you just want to trade LIVE.
Im going to have to sell my car and one of the dirt bikes to fund my trading account hopefully in August. Till then get more stats and desensitize myself as much as possible before going live.

Ino, well my car/ute I just bought to transport the dirt bikes on. Selling 1 out of the 4 motorbikes will be bearable lol. I actually sent MES Capital some sim fills. Lets see if they get back to me.
Who knows if the company really backs traders or theyre just fishing for info.

Just shared this some where else so I thought I might share it here to, just my 2
While I was in my internship trading for a Proprietary Trading company, I viewed the traders and trainers there as Gods. Here I was at the holy grail , the mecca of the trading world where I could surrender all my fears I once had of being a failure. Here I was being taken and accepted under the wings of these professionals and be guided to becoming a great trader. We were given the impression in there that being a retail trader was not realistic, that the trading world had become very difficult and all inefficiencies which once existed were coming under extinction due to the internet, algos and high frequency traders.
On the last day of the 6 week program where I thought I had aced the program, I was told I didnt have what it took. I was gobsmacked. They tried making me feel better by telling me that they had hope in me and I was one of the most passionate traders theyde ever seen. Here they were telling me that there were other ways other than spread trading bills to make money.
We live in a society where we put all our faith into people with positions of power. We believe they have all the answers and they know all. The unfortunate truth is although they might have knowledge and wisdom, its not always the case of "They know better".
As a trader or investor, weve been taught that there are certain golden rules. For example averaging down a loser is a cardinal sin. As a beginner, having some foundations and principles to follow by is important. It allows you to build a stable "enough" platform to start learning. However, these golden rules are just their as guidance. It doesnt mean just because you follow them, your system or strategy is going to work. Actually, what we do know is that 95% of traders lose money or cant beat the indexes.
Its safe to then say, that the people who do make money are doing some thing different. That means they are contrarians. Challenge these golden "rules". Every system is unique and there own principles are only relevant to that one strategy. You need to find what works for you and in order to do so, you must challenge these popular beliefs.Don'e be afraid to challenge the so called gurus. You are no less than these people who have been put on pedestals.
