Apr 2017

This page documents what is POSSIBLE to achieve with short term trade scalping.

*************************************************************************

Again weaker numbers -- Win% dropped, fewer trades, high number of BE trades.
Very similar results when comparing to April of last year...




*************************************************
April 2017 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 the results of that trade. Some postings may include charts of what happened after that trade was  closed out .
I do not include "practice" or "TEST" trades when calculating my statistics and I may not post charts of every break-even trade I take...
Break-even trades are losses due to their commission and are included  as such in my end-of-month statistic summaries. 

A summary of the trading results are included above the 1st chart of each session:
 Date/ day ... Winning / Losing / Break-even  ... tick Gain/Loss and Net Dollar amount  (after commissions)

 Just a couple of minutes passed between this trade and the one below it.

 WHY did this one work and the other didn't?...Just because.
