Have fun!

I didn't update my journal over the past week or so, as I have had a terrible time managing a sizable GJ position that I opened the week before (position was triggered using another system).
I shorted the GJ at 243.60 only to see it soar to 248.
A misearable time in deed. I am still holding to the short...for now.

I hope you are having a good week and look forward to updating the journal more.

Can you post your methodology?

The method is still in testing phase...I trade it, but with smaller lots than my other ones. I will decide to either adopt it on a full scale or drop it after about six to nine months, depending on how I feel about it at the time.

Fortunately, it has been a very good source of consistent extra income.
I hope you enjoy the thread, but please remember that this is a private journal...ie. signals are solely for me...not you.
I am open to any suggestions though...if you'd like me to include charts at the time of the trade or whatever...
Thanks.
