Hey thanks for stopping by. This is my old journal. Turned out to be more about my life in general. Nothing wrong with that, kinda, but not much in the way of taking trades. I still post here all the time but just about me and things I'm doing, what's going on in my life and perhaps somewhat related to trading.
Here's the link to my new/other business/trade journal only about my business endeavor and the deals (trades) I take. The risks I take and the expenses or revenues generated and all parts related.
Hi,
To start off I just want to say I'm extremely grateful to Big Mike for creating a great place for traders to learn and grow.
I'm starting my trade journal with todays ES trade, my only trading instrument. I have little time right now but will have more tomorrow to go into greater detail.
I broker with Interactive Brokers. I like them because I have OCO with them thru Ninja and also because of their account security features which I feel are second to none for larger accounts. I also have an account with S5T that I'm currently not using.
Briefly, today I got long ES at IBH at 10:48am Chicago time on a 2 lot. The trade lasted 48 minute and ended at -1R.
I scaled in at 2111.75 and 2111.50 with a stop of 2108.50 and target of 2115.25. This target price was hit later in the day....just after my stop was hit.....lol. Which is ok with me ...its impossible for me to know which trades are going to work and which ones are not.
Tomorrow I will supply additions information.....
Thx
Ronald
