I was referring to this one: 1 Minute Man Been on vacation this week so the live journaling was tough but I did plenty of trading so here is the review : Positives: I made money and the statistics look good THATS IT. This week was the closest I have come to just full fledge gambling with futures … Mike

If I understand correctly, the report goes back to the 15th instead of only the last day traded. The report includes days when commissions weren't previously configured. If you're making the point he should start from zero with commissions factored, I definitely agree (and for other reasons).

OK got it! I have a lifetime license so commissions will reflect as such

This upcoming week I will be trading es and mes to see what index I'm best suited for. Looking forward to the slower movement of it haha coming from dow and nasdaq

Really enjoyed the ES trading today... This is the market I am professionally committing to! Going to enjoy this journey everyday

Last two days trading performance June 24 &25

Last two days have been solid for my trading, navigating the transition onto the ES and adjusting to the slowed down speed but increased tick value as compared to YM and NQ. I actually prefer it as i feel like it is a nice middle ground. The 10 day ATR is right above 40 points s plenty of opportunity just have to adjust to such a thicker order book so price chops longer than YM or the crazy NQ. I have to be on guard for the desire to trade NQ as it is purely from a "I can make more money" standpoint not what fits my trading style the best. The transition to ES has been green so far but I do need to start focusing on holding for larger swings when we are rangebound or trending as right now I am just looking for 1 to 2 point scalps. I do like that I can practice different set ups with the micro MES and still experience the emotion of trading real money. I am looking forward to my career as ES Day Trader and it ffeels good to finally have a market nailed down that I can study and practice.

Positives:
1. Nailed down a market and style that suits me.
2. Have been process oriented the last two days and not focused on making money.
3. Understanding price zones of the ES so not overreacting to adverse moves.

Improvements:
1. The S&P rewards the patient day trader so I must work on patience and just putting on size when I am confident.
2. Have a valid premise before I get in the market.
3. There will always be another trade.
