Weekly summary(1424--1457)

Here is the start of the week.

Here is the end of the week:

I made way too many mistakes.

A terrible week

This week is the worst week for me this year.. My account was 84k before 6:30AM last Friday and ended with 82K. I screwed it up BIG TIME on Wednesday and Thursday. Don't ask why. I was just stupid and cocky. Easy come, easy go. My account went to 75K some time this week!!! Dumb, Dumb! OK....... I will post more after my Zumba dance.

Today is the day

that I need to work hard to look for a new job sine I can't bring money everyday from the market. But I can bring money home from my daily job. LOL.

Weekly summary(1443.5--1462)

I truly learned my lesson. Good thing is that it is only less than 2K cost. I still have Dec contracts and will sell at the opening. I deposited 4K into my account.

updated: I sold most of ES at 1451 at 3:03pm. I'm pretty much in the cash position now except 1 es and some KBH stock that I bought on Friday. I will do some planning for the next week!

Something that I didn't pay attention to

just costs me $1000. What is the exact time ESU12 expires? What is The ES option expiration time for today? Anyway, I'm still confused. I will wait until Sunday after IB clears out my contracts.

Maket updates

It is traded in a narrow range after last week's big run. I don't see any great day-trade opportunity so far and don't want to add long or short positions here. Ok, forget about it and I will look for new job!

Weekly summary(1421---1474)

I started this week with short positions in my hand. They were in the money on Monday. Monday night, I bought couple ES at 1423 to hedge my shorts. But still short-biased. On the fed day, I sensed big rally, reduced my shorts and switched to long. In the process, I made some mistakes. But I managed to make money.

What happened if I just purely held long positions? (I can't sleep well. LOL). I still have ES that I got at 1423.
By the way, please do't just look at PL. I've spent countless hours doing the researches and backtests. Here are some exmples:
I had used all of indicators in the past.
I programmed the systems to buy/sell.
I read a lot of books including Al Brooks's books (haha, I have to give myself credit on this one. It was so hard to read!)
I went to LBRGroup for couple months.
Anyway, you name it, I might have tried it.
Now I came up with my own style of trading. So far it is working.
Have a nice weekend.
