Nicolas Nasdaq E-mini Trading Journal

Purpose of this Journal:
1.To do,rather than think about doing.
2.To promote discipline

I am hoping that I will be able to improve my performance and enhance my personal discipline through writing this journal. Posting trades in a public forum will hold me to some type of discipline/standard and be more honest with myself.

Basically I use a fairly simple system based around the works by William Dunnigan (the author of New Blueprints for Gains in Stocks and Grains & One-Way Formula for Trading in Stocks and Commodities). Having tried many strategies I have found the one I am using now to be less stressful.

However details of my system will not be disclosed at this time since it took quite a lot of effort to have it proggrammed just like I wanted; but I promise I will post my entries and exits in advance.

(I would track my trades on a free webpage for you guys to look at.)
Here is the URL : http://www.darvasboxes.com

Hopefully this thread will be useful both to myself and those who read it.

Feel free to offer advice; to comment my positions, entry points and stop loss points. All constructive criticism is more than welcome!

P/S : I'm a man with very few words and English is not my mother tongue....so please don't expect too much from me (except for some few brief posts).

Nicolas Nasdaq E-mini Trading Journal - 17/12/04

The system stays flat after taking profits of +$560 on the closed out of the trade#1.

For trade#2;
I'll go long once 1642.0 is broken on the upside, enter short below 1585.5 and remain flat in between.

this way we all get to learn from your mistakes. but be prepared, you have opened yourself up to serious criticism.

End result though, you will become a good trader, faster than anyone will believe.

will watch with interest........
