01/27/2015 - - Wrapping it up early for the month. I have some personal business to attend to...i will be away from my trade station for a week or so.
JAN 2015 Trade Statistics and activity
Fewer trading days and fewer trades than last month but all the the numbers are excellent!Traded nothing but the ES this month and caught a few runners.
January 2015 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
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).
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.
