02/28/2014 Friday...no trades
A wide ranging day ending relatively flat to close out the week and the month.
Lots of long legged spinners on the majors...
02/27/2014 Thursday...6/7...+33 or +$76
Another day with a lot of trading...used mostly buy-stop entries on O/S STO signals...strong up trends.
Paid more in commissions than I kept but still a good day all-in-all.
02/26/2014 Wednesday...6/6...+29 or $142
Took too many trades and poor signaled ones at that...gave about 1/2 back trying for more.
02/25/2014 Tuesday...5/2...+43 or +$200
Again a lot of trades but caught a runner today, which makes a big difference to the bottom line...
02/24/2014 Monday ...6/2...+14 or +$51
Took a lot of trades but nothing ran...
02/21/2014 Friday...1/4...-2 or -$4
Trades taken were not particularly well signaled. Final trade almost got me back to even on the day.
02/20/2014 Thursday...1/1...+3 or -7
Signals were sparse, tough to take a good position...prices dipped below my stop levels before running in the right direction. Using buy stop entries would have played better...
02/19/2014 Wednesday...no trades
Finally a down day with the YM retreating from the BZ...
02/18/2014 Tuesday...no trades
Not much movement in the FUTs after yesterday's shorter sessions (Washington's B-day).
2/14/2014 Friday...2/0...+5.9 or +$578
Nice day to be a day trader...I just let 'er rip - my second trade kept on going up.
The RLM seems to break the trendline and keep going without much of re-test of that level - most of this week's trades worked this way.
2/13/2014 Thursday...1/0...+1.5 or +$144
Another before the open winner...
2/12/2014 Wednesday...1/0...+3.2 or +$314
Nice runner before the majors opened...
2/11/2014 Tuesday...no trades
2/10/2014 Monday...no trades
2/7/2014 Friday...2/0...+1.5 or +$138
Again RLM trades working out well...ended up being a nice week considering only 4 trades were taken in the past 5 days.
2/6/2014 Thursday...2/0...+2.7 or +$258
Two nice RLM trades brought in the cash today making up well for the lack of trades earlier this week.
2/5/2014 Wednesday...no trades
2/4/2014 Tuesday...no trades
2/3/2014 Monday...no trades
