July 2016 Trade Statistics and activity

This month's stats are a big improvement over last month, more "normal".




July 2016 daily 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. (Not All of my gains or stop-outs are included)
A summary of result statistics are included above the 1st trade chart of each day:
Day and Date ... Winning / Losing / Break-even  ... tick Gain/Loss and Net Dollar amount  (after commissions)

Experimenting with having a small 60T and 90T docked in the same window with the 30T T-Mode. 
It fits on a single screen and makes entry signal comparisons simple - IE: no need to scan 3 different monitors before placing an order...
Plus it enables  a simultaneous "one click capture" snapshot of entry signals across three time frames.
I still have the need for larger charts too - they are needed for drawing my trend lines and for the bigger picture they provide.

Monday 07/25/2016...2/2/0...+8 or +$16
Left a bit on the table...

Friday 07/22/2016...1/1/0...+5 or +$13
If you notice you are getting stopped too often on any day, take a break from trading...
 but do not change your stop level trying to adjust to price action of any single day. 
 (Only after many, many trades should you consider doing so.)
