Held my micro nq also and still holding..just so nice sometimes being away from the screens and letting the markets work for me based on previous analysis.

Pumped.

If you are following my journal remember I was in drawdown on trades all thru July.
Sure I had some nice daily wins but my tqqq that I held and added to was down 10k at one point I live in drawdowns in order to like the Phoenix rise from the ashes!

This is how I trade and like I said I can do very well but it can also lead to account blow up if you get too big and greedy.

Total gross gains are 12, 499 and still long the euro currency futures.

2 big exotics bought avg 121307
Sold 124330

25 exotic combos sold @ 10157
Bought at 9932

3 micro crude b@ 95.33 sold 96.09

3 micro gold bought @ 1715.4
Sold @ 1712.5 LOSS

3 micro nq bought @ 12172
3 micro sold @ 12402


This is how I trade.
As you can see I called all of these trades and posted them up exactly as I did the buys and the sells. Once you have edge and make some $ you can really start to build but you must find your edge. There are 100s if not 1000s of edges everyday. It took me 10 years and over 400k of lost real money to finally find a decent edge but this edge it could evaporate tomorrow or I could make some discipline mistakes and it could all be gone.

Notice though that I have a process that I follow and I stick to it. Could I have made this much scalping. I have before but this was much easier because I want in front of the screens much just checking on my phone every few hours.

Never give up and keep at it.

I still like gold long euro long natural gas long grains long stocks long oil long
I am obviously almost always long biased which is very unusual

Scale scale scale is all I can say. You can make up 10 years of shit trading in 3 great years once you have edge or perhaps even less.

Have a great day and always be trading.. Abt

Stocks I like

I am going to relax some on posting actual trades here and open it up to a little question and answer for a little while. I may write like a know it all but it takes extreme confidence in order to trade the flow of the markets.

Sometimes you just go against common logic and throw your middle finger in the air to the establishment.

I do not have your answers I only have my own perception of ways to look at and work; n the markets.

Any questions feel free to post for awhile if you feel the need.

I will turn off questions for awhile once I start posting more of my trades. If you have a particular market you want to discuss I can do that. There are no dumb questions

If you want me to trade a particular market I may look at it and do just that

Let's see what happens here .. this also helps me stay sharp and humble and after a big win... It's oh so easy to feel invincible. It is the time to chill.. relax... Not get all soros on it... Quite the opposite.. just keep trading but very small.. the mkt is always correct
