December 2014 Trades

Dec 2014 Trade Statistics and activity

Fewer trades with a higher Win percentage. My Ave. Point Gain on Winners dropped and Ave. Point Loss increased...
(Note - Ave. Point gain/loss should say Ave. Tick gain/loss. Will correct it for next month)

 but was due mainly to trading the ES exclusively. Tick Win/Loss ratio at 1.9 is just below where I'd prefer it to be...

 Cummulative monthly comparisons:

 Daily trade activity

December EOM summary charts:

December Daily trade Charts

On the daily summary header:

Date and day...Number of winning/losing trades and number of BE trades...

...Total point gain or loss with total dollar amount...

  ...Followed by a brief description of the session's price action or charts

The daily summary includes commissions and assumes one contract per trade. Every B/E or -1 tick stop-out may not be
included for each date. I prefer having the trades that worked available for review unless there's something important
to be gained by looking at those that did not (like pointing out poor trade decisions so I can try not to repeat them).

A statistical summary which does include every trade is posted at the EOM.

The posted charts usually combine before and after snapshots of each trade;
one that captures what I saw as entry rationals and the other(s) for the results.
