If I said

I've been wiped out today... do you believe me?

5/31/13(1,626.25--- 1658)

Lost 10pts per contract.
今天玩砸了。。哈哈

5/31/13 Tomorrow's high is higher than today's high

Marked here!
 
Let's see... big break out  tomorrow?

No trade (1,641.00 -- 1,660.75)

  I was way too busy with work.  I wanted to get something done so that I would not be bothered by it anymore.
  I still have long and short positions

5/30,,, market will RALLY!

hard!

5/29/13 (1,638.00---1,656.75)

I traded, I worked and I went out lunch with coworkers. :-)

5/28/13 Tuesday (1644--1,672.75)

I've been busy with work so that I didn't have time to trade.

I'm still busy today but decided to put work aside for a couple hours.

P&L : 6.75 ES points per contract.

Sometimes you have to act

quickly, very quickly to catch the movement like today.  I did it and I'm done. That is the excitement I'm looking for.

5/21/13 Tuesday (1,660.00--- 1,673.25)

  I spent most of time in the meetings and cleaning the house today since I lost patience by trading the same for the last several weeks. (To buy dip at earlier and sell later), although it worked today also. 

   I got bored in trading for now . I'm holding some long positions for swing..

GOLD.....

 Gold.. oh, well. I made money on GG. not as much.  I posted something on one Chinese stock forum about my speculation about gold  and bought some (next time I will buy gold future to get more excitement) to test my theory on Friday.  If I automated it, I probably won't have exited.

 Anyway, quantitative analysis works. 
  

5/20/13 Monday.(1659.75------1669?)

 I lost patience with the market.  It just doesn't pull back! The market sentiment is good too. Selling GG is my only trade today. I have swing long positions but I prefer the market pulls back NOW.

  I can focus on work for now.
 

Week (May20th --May 24th)

watch for 1652?

Wednesday turning point?

I bought GG on Friday. It was not part of plan. I felt good about myself and traded without  checking the market calendar. I think there is further drop in gold next week.  I will get out on Tuesday or tomorrow with  loss. 

Weekly summary:(1,621.50 -----1,665.75)

   I would like to let you know that retail traders can consistently make small money if they always remember the risk. My speculation is right this week. But I've only used less than 30% of my account to trade and keep positions. If I did  "all in", my account could have been significantly higher. By practicing the small risks, I'm able to correct the trading errors if my speculation is wrong.

  By writing down the range for this week, I found it is funny that I actually bought at 1622 on Sunday and sold at 1664), WOW! Time flies.

  I will keep going  with my trading journey. It truly boosts my confidence.


  Until I trade again, see ya.

5/17/13 Friday (1,648.25 --- 1655.75)

  I was so busy with work yesterday so that I've kept everything I have. When the market closed, I saw ES opened 1548 at 3pm. So I bought Sept contracts to make up for no trading earlier. But there were a lot of $hits at work so I closed  at 6pm before I went home.  This morning I reduced some long at 7:22am.  I will not watch the market until the last hour so that I can finish the work crap. I will post more later.

This week I booked almost 6 figure profit.  So don't fight with the market. Go with it.

5/16/13 Thursday(1,646.00---1,658.75)

No trade... I've been busy with work.  Even if I was not busy, I probably would not have traded either. 

Enjoy the sun!

5/15/13 (1,642.75--1,659.75) Thursday: Is the market crazy?

LOL.

Who cares. As long as we can make money, isn't?

Today's profit is $700 more than yesterday's profit if you happened to see before I deleted it. :-) I bought ES when it pulls back around 11am---11:55am. That is day-trading.

5/14/13 Wednesday Yes, (1,626.50---1,648.75)

I booked some profit today.  Yes, I added more long positions.

Let's check whether I can make money later on this week.

5/13/13 Monday (1621.5---1633.5)

There are thousands of ways to skin a cat

5/12/13 Sunday :Oh, well.

It reached the level I mentioned yesterday, so I had to buy...

Next buy level: 1615.

Weekly review

watch for 1622 for next week for volume support.

How did I  get that number? I added every  day's support point together last week and divided it by 5, that is my first support.

Trend continuation

The market is just up and up.  I've not tried to outsmart the market yet.  I have to follow it.

Having it in mind, trading becomes easy for now. Keeping risk small is the key and consistently bringing money home is my approach no matter the market is up or down.

For fun....

I have been so busy at work today and I totally forgot about the market for a long time! So as a result, I post trades to remind myself.  I actually can make money in the market. Don't get too involved with work.

5/8/13 Market Check (1,617.00 ---1,629.50)

1. Warning sign?





2. According to the Investors Intelligence Advisors Sentiment report just published, 52.1% of pundits were bullish this week, versus just 19.8% bearish. That’s a spread of 32.2%. Traditionally, readings above 30% have often heralded highs in the market (?)

3. NYMOT reads 187 today.

.


4. I will still trade what I see. I will not jump the gun.
