This page documents what is possible to achieve with short term trade scalping. First are the month's statistic worksheets followed by the daily trades.

Notes for May:
Using screen shots to document missed trades and for showing the subsequent P/A
after trades are closed helps you assess risk/reward for the current session -- thus it's helpful
for enhancing your feel, ie: to see IF or how well price is "running" after signals print.

The charts below are my daily trades for the entire month.
The combined charts have 1) entry rationals, 2) results and often 3) what happened after the trade was closed. All tick Gain/Loss numbers and net dollar amounts are adjusted to show just 1 contract per trade. Daily summaries (after commission) are posted below each Session Separator.

Ahhh...bit by bit, crawling my way back into positive territory...
Often you take trades or try to "make things happen" that just don't work out...
Good signals sometimes fail.
Often you just miss getting a fill...
