May 2016 Trade Statistics and activity



May 2016 trades

The charts below are my trades for the entire month. 
The tick Gain/Loss numbers and net dollar amounts have been adjusted to show just 1 contract for each trade.
 The charts usually combine what I saw as entry rationals and another for the results of that trade. 
Often I'll include a chart of what happened after the trade was closed. (All of my stop-outs are not included)
A summary of result statistics are included above the 1st trade chart of each day:
Day & Date ... Winning / Losing / Break-even  ... tick Gain/Loss and Net Dollar amount  (after commissions)

Sort of mixed signals - the 75 tick's STO was hooking up while the 45 tick's STO
 was hooking down but given the strength of the MAC Trend I took the WAG. 

Tuesday 05/17/2016...no trades
Hard to trade today - divergences and signals were failing plus drop backs 
after entry signals were greater than 4 ticks or price just exploded up without hesitation...
