Eme's Futures Journal

Been trading for a while and I wanted to share (and keep myself on my toes) my results insight and input.

I'll be posting daily updates of my account and thoughts but the easiest way to share my thoughts is to post through video.So Ill be posting that at CrypticGains.com which is my personal blog to the trading world.

PLAN: I've moved to a plan where I conservatively trade a system intraday and I only take the system arrows if it aligns with my overall plan of general market conditions between supply and demand levels

Goal: Live life using trading as a tool not a hobby.


for the next 2 weeks I'll be posting from a Sim account and after that I plan on taking my plan live. and posting all of my result

I'll be trading ES,CL,FESX intraday.

looking forward to feedback and comments once I start posting

I was having trouble uploading my results yesterday as well as getting my video up but I got them up today. and I'll have another post for today's results later.


but as for yesterday my charts and indicators weren't set up carefully but after i fixed them i actually made some good money which brought me back to break even.

Also, I had a scalp going right as PMI numbers came out. (oops)

Can only blame myself but these are easy fixes.

In short: traded CL and ES ended +12.50

5/5 i was really sick and traded a little bit before I called it a day an hour in.


5/6

Still trading discretionary signals with EOTpro.com's system.

Today was crazy-was not expecting this mood soon. full blog post below.

I made a video of the trade I took live with my real account but my account number is in it so I am not going to post it. so instead I posted pictures of the trade I took in my real account.

I was trading the this strategy in Sim only for now-but I couldn't resist the trade so i switched to my live account. I still on trading mostly the Sim account next week. but if i really continue to see great results then I'll switch to my real account.

Just got back into trading this week--took a leave for work stuff that had my hands tide.

Its been a good week took a couple hits but hey you cant win every day right? Overall I'm having a scratch week in my P/L but i feel like I've learned so much in strategy development.
There's a new strategy (Profile Zero) creating a buzz in the chat room- its less risky and requires one contract. I started trading it yesterday and had a couple of winners. but its more trend catching oriented and keeps you away from the counter trend trades.

The chat room is really grand- it really sets up a marketplace of amazing traders to collaborate and share ideas.

Also, the indicators have advanced with new settings to have the indicators shoot off signals to the one contract trade called "profile Zero".

GOT TO WORK ON: CONSISTENCY-Its funny how the market teaches you so well. The times I made money this week were when i stuck to the signals and my plan for them. the times I lost where when i went beyond the signals and over traded.(dumb move) luckily it hasn't been an expensive lesson.

I'll be posting a video tomorrow after trading to show you what I've been up to.

Cheers

One trade today +175 trading ES

Hello!


traded 1 contract today on 1 signal



The guys in the EOTpro.com Room have been trading a strategy called risk profile zero so I have been following that with my own additions. Basically, the only way an arrow plots is if the End Of Trend indicator (which is the blue and red lines at the bottom that estimates the end of a trend) are below 20 which indicated the possibility of a new trend. Once that occurs if an arrow fires it is plotted cyan blue as seen at the chart and you enter the market with a stop below the last plot cycle. (I personally use the last push or I get out if a purple arrow is plotted again me.)

There were 2 trades but I was only in front of the screen to catch this one.

I entered at 1078-50 put a stop at 1076(volume based simulated). From here, I watched the market looking for reasons to get out. If the market starts to move against me, I have my hard stop in place but if I see a purple arrow plot against me before that I exit then.(that way I take a smaller loss)

If the market moves in my favor, I let it flow without adjusting my stop.

I start to adjust my stop and secure profits when:

A: ID (the red line in the end of trend indicator) moves above 80 and starts to flat line
B: I watch for price to make a small double top formation
C:Shelly's volume(the red and green average average line) slows down and starts to reverse
D: a purple arrow is plotted against me


After this occurs I trail my stop to under the the most recent swing or,
If the move was strong with big volume, there is usually a second push to try and make new highs in which I will look to scalp out.



this trade I was able to bank 3.25 points/$175 on one contract.

Easy trade at the open. The first signal (Eotpro.com NCEP arrows) was long but it was right at the open, the cycle moving average was not green, and the premarket trading range was much lower.

the next signal was pretty much a perfect signal, Shelly's volume was red volume was pushing lower we had just made a lower high and the CMA was red. So I took it and trailed it down and waited for the the end of trend ID to flatline for 162 bucks on 1 contract. not bad!

had another trade that i backed 75 on and I left to do other work.

Trading was easy today with this strategy.

Bill, the organiser of the main room banked a ton of money trading his fast passed strategy--definitely looking like something I might want to implement soon. The funny thing is that he was spending most of his time answering questions since it's free trial week. Seriously, the guy is seriously a mad man when it comes to trading.

Today was wierd!

the maret was very all day today and mainly because the Fed were on the spotlite. So with volume low and the market snailing around I took a couple of trades trying to squeeze a point or 2 and it made me negative. Oh well tomorrow is another day.

Low volume today-Looks like summer tradinghas begun.

The system did well today producing 2 signals but i over traded looking for small scalpes. I ended the day with a 0.00 P&L and 10 trades worth of comissions-but at $4.50 a roundturn im not that mad. :-)


tomorrow will be better.

Easy trading today on the ES(as seen below). Yesterday I pulled 112 from the market but today I was fortunate enough to take 350 based off the signals below. I left after that since market volatility usually slows down in the afternoon due to summer.

It seems like Mondays are the hardest for me for trading. I loose track of my disciplinary state and brake stupid rules, chase the market and over trade. Mostly because I forget to put my self in the desired state before I get started and before I know it-its to late. Its all fixable. tomorrow will be better.

I had 2 trades today trading the Risk Profile 0 strategy and both of them were flat due to my tight stop. I also go over my analysis on the market for tomorrows trading range.

I am trading again in full force!! today was particularly easy as long as you went long with volume and stuck with the highers highs and higher lows.

After the open, price moved higher with velocity and volume braking out of yesterday's highs telling me that it would be a brake out type day. so I wait for a bull back and an arrow and trailed up looking for the move to continue. After that i hit the gym and called it a day. even though i could have stayed in all day. Oh well that's trading.
