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).
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
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. June 24 End of Day Trades
June 26 all done today. The last 30 Min can be a little crazy. Had a decent green day actually bought what appears to be the low tick of the day but just scalped it haha Added to some trades in a responsible fashion and learned some good lessons on adding and timing to maximize profits.
Saw another user say tomorrow is GDP so it makes sense why so sideways today, But we have been sideways all week.
Positives:
1. Stuck with the ES
2. Traded both Mini and Micro
3. Pressed size when trade was moving my way
Improves:
1. Got to hold initial winners longer
2. Need to clearly define my trading style
3. Stick with a style. Trading Results June 26
June 27
Got a late start to the day! That really affects my confidence I have noticed so I will stop sleeping in moving forward. All in all a positive day in the markets ES offered a great end of day scale in. I still choked it off a little too soon but I did catch a nice amount of points/
Positives:
Stuck with ES consistency starts with routine
Started looking at DOM that helps a bit with price location Scaled in responsibly
Improvements
Accept sideways days and only trade extreme readings on the TICK
Don't scale in just to lower cost basis as im just increasing risk
Show up at the start of the day or don't trade June 27 End of Day
