hi all,

mon. oct. 6th, trades:

this has been good for me. that is writing out my rules. naturally, i forgot something. i will not allow a winning trade to turn bad, thus my +25, and move to break even, BE rule. i do move to break even sooner and today was a good example of that. once a trade is positive by 10 or more, i do start shortening the stop/loss, not to BE right away, but i do start shortening. i try to shorten my losses as much as possible as i know i am not far from another trade. they come around often, most days.

also, i only trade between 8:00 am until 11:00 am est. my 4 trades today were:

10 - 25 and back to 10, = 0
00 - 80 and back to 0, = 0
05 - 29 and back to 05, = 0

and finally:

20 - 70 just before 11:00, started at 10:35 actually, est gave me my 50 pips

since inception, oct.3rd, +126 pips
