by Gav 2 Comments

History repeats itself again, I have a reddish Monday. Short position of E-mini Nasdaq was established below 930am (chicago time) candle. And I was 2 ticks away from my break even point. 2-ticks , so near , yet , so far. One trade closed with 1-R loss.

Though I did read the cautious words from Mike’s blog about options expiration, I decided to trade if any dummy set up was found. Short position of E-mini Nasdaq was established below 10am (chicago time) candle. It took 1 hour to stop me out. Darn! However, everything was done by following my rules. One trade […]

This is the result of let your profit run. Long position of E-mini Nasdaq was established above 9am (chicago time) candle. After closed Dow Mini position prematurely, I have decided to let E-mini Nasdaq position run. Indeed, it was a good decision. Trade closed with nice 3-R gain. I was just too tired at this […]

Dummy day trading #12 15-August-2006:Dow Mini:Long trade closed

by Gav Leave a Comment

Long position of Dow Mini was established above the 9:00am (chicago time)reversal down candle. I decided to closed the trade at break even point as I do not like to see a doji immediately after the initial entry candle. Secondly, given the consideration of Core CPI report which is due tomorrow, it might limit the […]
