Dec 2015 Trade Statistics and activity
Good stats for the month except far fewer trades were taken, affecting the bottom line.
December 2015 trades
The charts below are my trades for the month...Not all of the stop-outs are included. The charts usually combinewhat I saw as entry rationals and the other for the results. Often I'll include what happened after the trade was closed.

12/31/2015 Thursday...2/1/0...+10 or -$6 - commish kill
...sometimes it doesn't pay to trade. The importance of using stops cannot be overstated.
went to "practice trade" mode...worked for at least +12...then tested trailing stops to see if it would run...

12/07/2015 Monday...no trades
Poor reaction to signals and bar ranges too volatile for me...some examples:
12/06/2015 Sunday night...just a test trade...
12/04/2015 Friday...No trades
12/03/2016 Thursday...No trades taken...
I saw this one but declined to act...Besides the signals that fired off on the spotter charts, I was thinking a reversal
was highly likely, given the severity of the sell-off so far and the time of day. Plus I noticed on the daily that the 2-month
up trend had been penetrated...I figured successful shorts also saw these things and would begin to cover.
As it turned out, the recovery continued up through the EOD, closing right on that trend line.
12/02/2015 Wednesday...FED announcements...TEST trades only
Nothing was working...short-ish runs, backing and filling with WR bars...
12/01/2015 Tuesday...1/0/0...+5 or +$19
