Profit/Loss Statement

Today's Observation: I'm still testing Infinity Futures simulator called Infinity AT until June 30th Monday to determine if the software and broker will become one of my backup brokers to replace a backup broker I'm no longer satisfy with.

Also, the simulator profits shown above for today will not be computed into the monthly and yearly real money results.

With that said, today's trade posting chat log is below and it contains all my trades that were posted in real-time along with the trades of other members of #FuturesTrades.

It's a holiday here in Quebec and I just got back from a family outdoor party at a lake. 15:17

<+ItalianSharp> why do those trades always tend to happen when we use a demo???

:)

<+tzar> cuase emotions dont play big role on demo

<+ItalianSharp> true 15:20

however, i dont think Niha has many emotional issues

<+szubaark> yup.. money=Emotions

<+ItalianSharp> i've seen him make those trades a few times

4-5 times per year

<+tzar> thas a good payout 15:21

<@NihabaAshi> ItalianSharp...before I switched over to fast trades...those types of trades I use to get about 1 - 2 times per week but I also traded less

That's the direction I'm going to go back to

More size and less trades 15:22

<+szubaark> WHAT made you switch to "fast trades"?

<+ItalianSharp> meaning...you are going to try to establish an intraday position trade early in the day?

<@NihabaAshi> Yes

<+tzar> on those types of trades, what kind of stop loss do you use?

4 points?

<@NihabaAshi> Yep

<+tzar> same amount of contracts? 15:23

1-9 ?

<@NihabaAshi> That' depends on the volatiliy

<+tzar> hmm

<@NihabaAshi> I'm expecting volatility to start rising big time towards the end of the summer

<+tzar> taking a 4 point loss on 9 contracts gotta hurt

<@NihabaAshi> When it does...I'll slowly began increasing my size. 15:24

tzar...the frame mind implies you shouldn't trade size.

I can trade 50 ER2 contracts and stay well within my money mangement

<+tzar> thats awesome

<@NihabaAshi> I just can't trade that in current low volatility conditions 15:25

<+palmer2000> tzar please- niba manages millions of his personal funds

<@NihabaAshi> Regardless...I'm not going to do something new...I'm going back to a prior trading style.

<+tzar> you should trade APPL... its always volotile 15:26

<@NihabaAshi> No stocks for day trading :)

<+tzar> how come?

<@NihabaAshi> should be obvious

<+tzar> im not following.. throw mea bone 15:27

<@NihabaAshi> Futures versus Stocks from a business point of view 15:28

<+tzar> hmm 15:29

wonder if NQ will test 1900 again

<@NihabaAshi> Go to any popular discussion forum and do a search on it...

"Futures versus Stocks"

<+tzar> i know its better on tax 15:30

<@NihabaAshi> Now your going in the right direction :)

<+tzar> but appl is always volotile:) 15:33

verry

<@NihabaAshi> From a trading point of view...sure and many others.

My reference for you is from a business point of view.

You started going in the right direction with the TAX issue (business point of view) but then went back to the trading point of view (volatility). 15:34

<+codehead> long YM 11808 <paper>

5-tick stop 15:35

<+tzar> 5 ticks thats super tight

<+codehead> stop 11804 <paper>

well, it's having trouble breaking down 11805

if it breaks that down, my long entries are lower 15:36

<+tzar> well im done for the day

im going to the lake with my friends

NihabaAshi how you liking AT so far?

<+codehead> can't get ups

stopped -4 YM <paper> 15:37

<@NihabaAshi> tzar...it's simple and fast but the few problems I see in the DEMO I keep hearing are not an issue in the live program

<+tzar> slippage ? - its totaly different on the live mode

i was hesitant as well, but i really like the live mode 15:38

<@NihabaAshi> slippage in the DEMO is horrible and not represented of live trading conditions

<+codehead> 11790 was .618 retracement

<@NihabaAshi> Shorts ER2 @ 709.70 -> large size «« simulator Infinity AT »»

<+codehead> i had a potential buy at 11778, got to 11782 so far

<+tzar> well im gone 15:39

cya all tomorrow

<@NihabaAshi> Doing a test of a possible trade error situation... 15:40

Put the trade in first and then put in the auto trade management AFTER entry instead of BEFORE entry to see if it will still work.

Doesn't work :( 15:41

Covered all ER2 Short @ 711.00 --> - 1.3 «« simulator Infinity AT »» 15:44

Now I know that I can't add the auto stuff after entry...must be inputed prior to entry. 15:45

Long ER2 @ 709.80 -> large size «« simulator Infinity AT »» 15:48

Exited all ER2 Long @ 708.80 --> - 1 «« simulator Infinity AT »» 15:50

Next...I need to determine how to do a Auto Reverse...will be my priority to learn tonight so I can try it tomorrow. 15:51

Most of these -1 point trades I usually do position reverses but I haven't been able to figure out how to Auto such in the program 15:52

<@NihabaAshi> We have a BIG trading day tomorrow FOMC 15:56

I plan on doing trading via my trading plan on the simulator tomorrow.

Thus, no random trades for simulator...just trades I normally would do if it were live. 15:57

Shorts ER2 @ 707.50 -> large size «« simulator Infinity AT »» 16:00

Another lack luster 4pm est price action without increasing volatility 16:10

Covered all ER2 Short @ 706.90 --> + 0.6 «« simulator Infinity AT »» 16:14

Take care all and see all tomorrow 16:18
