No trade: 11-September-2006

by Leave a Comment

It was another boring day. No dummy setup for me before 12 NY time. E-mini S&P started with strong volume. It was expected to be a volatile and maybe, trending day. E-mini Nasdaq, E-mini S&P as well as mini-sized Dow took a dip during the opening and reversed up in the afternoon.

Though no dummy trade was done, I recalled my CBL (Count back line) trading method. I used CBL entry to trade reversal pattern in SIMSCI futures (MSCI Singapore Free index). Some examples, here and here. I am now again interested to evaluate this method to trade E-minis and Dow.
I was so excited to start trading on my Tradestation. But I am not excited to lose money. No trade for the first day of the week and first day of my tradestation journal.

September 2006: Week 1 review

by Leave a Comment

It was a short week for me. Only 3 trades were made. As mentioned (or complained?) in my postmortem, Strategy runner was giving me troubles over the week. I closed the week with -1.22-R loss. Since there were only three trades for the week, I am not posting the performance graph now.

I have completed change of trading platform. I am currently on Tradestation. It is a platform with full of features and functions. I am still trying to figure out.

Let’s look forward for a better week with better trading.
