Decision Tuesday

Sounds like an election day, huh? Or Lebron James free agency announcement (fun fact at the end of this journal entry). Well, today is decision day as to whether or not I switch from YM to VX.

One further follow-up to yesterday's bad day. I looked at the prior VX contract (VXJ19), which expires tomorrow, April 17. If I applied my strategy to that contract, it was +$700 profitable...

Bad day - addendum

Just so I get this down for the record, I did some analysis back to 2018 with my strategy to see if a losing day like today is normal. I use the same parameters throughout and the results are...

Bad day, hooray!

Don't be fooled by the title; there is no sarcasm intended. I have been waiting for this day since I have started sim trading. There were several things that I learned today about trading the VX...

Early TGIF Post

Happy Friday everyone! I'll cut to the chase, as I'm super busy and need to wrap up before market close.

YM:
I did not trade last night or today. As I mentioned yesterday, I put myself on the...

Thursday postscript

My chart looks weird because the moves are at .05 intervals, not .01. Thus it looks stranger than most charts.

Thursday *yawn*

I left off yesterday raving about VX, blah blah blah. Today, let me touch on YM, then get into the VX stuff I've been testing.

We did not enter YM on the short side, as we would have been stopped...

Wednesday EOD, What a Day

Okay, so here is my end of day update. I did not take the YM trade, mainly because we suspected it was going to drift, which it did.

On to the VX sim I've been running. First, I will share my...

Whew, another long day and another late journal entry. And now it is Wednesday afternoon, so I guess this is Tuesday/Wednesday update.

Just a mid-day update, I have decided to shelve the YM for now. My partner had thought YM might be a good market to get started with based on the performance of our strategy over 2018, but 2018 was...

It's Friday, yo

Yeah, it is Friday all right. This twitchy market must have been fun for some, maybe not for others. Since I have switched over to a daily strategy, I am basically still in.

Pretty good day

Today was a pretty good day, all-in-all. I am trying to hone my profit taking skills, particularly my market reentry points. I'm kind of hyper in general and can get impatient at times, so I need to...

That's the risk built into an automated strategy. I haven't tried using volume bar, but I am a swing trader, so I'm looking for things in the intermediate timeframe. The 30 minute time is just right...

No actual target. $2500 profit target, but that's just the upper limit. My exits are on reversals, so I may only see the profit target hit a few times a year.
