Oct 2018

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. 

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

Great statistics ...traded the YM this month and caught a fair number of 
running trades which improves the Average Tick Gain-Loss ratio

Oct 2018 trades
The charts below are my daily trades for the entire month. The charts show 
1) entry rationals, 2) results and often 3) what happened after the trade was closed. 
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:

10/22/2018 Monday...A DAY...2/0/0...+27...+$123

10/21/2018 Sunday night  
A double bottom... not quite a 2B Dragon but still trade-able.
An equal or lower low was only 'almost' there so divergence wasn't really a factor... 
The "longer term" rising MACD EMA signals (MacTrend) was the deciding factor 
along with the stochastic slingshots -- MTSLING -- 
20 points or $100 per contract is not too shabby for Sunday night. 


A WAG on the Hammer                             sometimes you get lucky

Bad choice to push my luck on the hammer


It can pay to guess on super strong days like today


Using the DIV + MTSLING signals on the 1 min for the trade above:



10/15/2018 Monday... C DAY...1/0/1...+10...+$38
Histo divergence and rising MACD EMAs


Was anticipating price would move UP one more time ...




10/12/2018 Friday......staying away...no trades taken
Still way too active for me to trade -- it's printing such wild ranges that even for the split-second 
it takes to place an order, price is gone. Would get filled and stopped out within the same instant !

A mistake that "luckily" didn't cost me...
my order entry alert sounded as I was walking away from my trade station...
