The stop in SPX500 might have been too tight, still think there's a lot left on the downside. Well, I'm definitely done for the day here. Unfortunately the oil never really went wild but I still got a good chunk out of it I think.
Edit
Here's a chart of OMXS30. Stopped out right before the move. Painful.
Considering the profits made yesterday (had some great shorts in EUR/USD as well) I'm going to take the rest of the week off.
Results for the second week: CL: +543 ticks/5430$(6 losses, 2 winners)
SPX500: +35 points/2310$(2 losses, 1 BE, 1 winner)
OMXS30: -6 points/396$(2 losses) Total:+7344$
Even though I think I'm pretty much done with the optimization of this strategy I'd be happy to hear any suggestions or thoughts. Don't want to be stuck in the same way of thinking when there might be some apparent improvements to be made.I just want to mention that the results for the past two weeks are in no way typical of the kind of profits I'm usually seeing. I've gone months without a decent winner and I fully expect that to happen again.
