Today is May 5th, account at $125,860

Currently short 49 NQ contracts (I added more earlier this morning). Avg 2377, current level is 2369.25

Also EUR/USD is falling off a cliff this morning:



If I had kept my 1 million worth of EUR/USD short from yesterady, I wouldve made about 20K. Unfortunately I sold it for a small profit. O well, there will be other opportunities.

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

Ended the day at $111,585

Rode long for a few points during the day. Now short 40 NQs at 2378. Currently level is 2386.

(would have been at $117,000 but lost out $5K on shorting too early)

Today is May 4th, account is at $108,000

Currently short 40 contracts of NQ at 2390 and shorted 1 million worth of EUR/USD at 1.49079.

I believe the Euro is going to fall, the dollar is at very low levels and it should rally, causing the market to drop.

Life of a trader

Life of a trader and why they are NEVER satisfied: 1) Missed the move; 2) On the move but the wrong side of it; 3) In the move, right side of the move but got out too early and 4) Caught the move, right side of the move, PERFECT entry and exit but their size was toooo small.



Account at $99,517

I went long mid-day then took some profits, made about $8 K. Now Ive gone short at the end of the day, 20 contracts at 2390.00. 

NQ hit a low of 2374 today! and a high of 2403. This was a good day for support and resistance trades based on TICK indicators.

I would not hold longs overnight, so I am short.

The news of Osama's death shot the futures up in the overnight session but they slowly lost their gains during the day session. Currently short 31 NQ contracts at an avg of 2400.00. Current level of NQ as I type this is 2401.50.
