In my mind, last week was practice as I was getting used to this broker's trading platform, putting together my trading plan, trading while also finishing some back tests on the ES, etc.

My $2K to $200K Quest is now officially (in my mind ) opening grandly, i.e. The Grand Opening

+4 points ES today. I did not adjust size to 2 yet. I will wait until I have enough excess margin to stand two losses without having to reduce size. This was an opening range bull break after price had a bear break of the pre-mkt range (lower range premkt @30.50 and was globex bull breakout point) and market tested that 28.50/29 pivot point (pivotal in that it had been support turned resistance now turned support). Don't be fooled by the indicators - I will mention them only if I use them as the basis for a set up. {image}

Hitting CL for 30 ticks is hardly what I would call slowly!

Nice trading D

ok the recap trading crude with 2 contracts 4 trades 3 wins of 30 ticks 30 ticks and 15 ticks a 1 loss of 15 ticks net is 60 ticks or 1200 dollars. ym 3 winning trades with 2 contracts 25 and 25 and 15 for a net of 65 ticks or 650 dollars total 1850. it appears to me that 1500 to 2000 seems to be the daily profit which means making a lot via risking a small amount. so risk on crude is 300 and ym is 150 to make 1500 to 2000 a day when market is moving is a very small risk and the risk is the only 100% thing we know before we put on a trade everything else is just a probability
