Trading the S&P - ok, focus back today!
2007-11-07 23:28:00
Ok all, I was determined today not to lose focus today and my first trade was a long at 149400. I made this trade as there was a previous bottom around this level which was hit 4 times over the past couple of weeks…. if you look at the daily chart you can see this. As the ...

Trading the S&P .. completely lost focus!
2007-11-06 20:21:00
Hi All, Another day back at watching the charts! Things are not working well at all! My trading tutor hasn’t been in contact for a week or so as he’s been setting up new offices in the US. I guess it’s almost like when the cats away the mice come out to play. I should be trading 1 ...

S&P emini - Gambling or trading?
2007-11-05 20:49:00
Today was another horrendous day for my dummy account, I’m glad it is my dummy account as I made 5 trades and each one was a loser! I’ve not been watching the market properly all last week and I’m a bit out sync with everything. Last week at work there were leaving do’s and outings.. I ...

Blog update - what?s been happening last week? Trading and Google Page Rank
2007-11-04 11:45:00
Hi All, For those that follow the blog, you would have found that last week, there wasn’t that many updates from my side. It had been a very busy week at the 9-to-5 with some operational challenges at work to deal with. Also, there were a few social events to attend to and I only managed to ...

29th Oct - In hindsight, what should have been done (S&P emini trading)
2007-10-29 21:07:00
Hi all, From my last performance which was pretty pants, I reviewed again what should have been done today. The way you’re mindset is determines how well you’re doing.. when you’re trading, it’s like an Olympic sport for the brain. Just imagine your running a 100 metre sprint but the day of your race, you are feeling ...

29th Oct - Trading day not finished but I am!
2007-10-29 20:28:00
Hi all, Hope you all had a good weekend. I am exhausted and the market isn’t really doing too much right now. I shouldn’t have really traded as the mindset wasn’t correct today but I did. I made two losing trades at -10 in total. The first trade was a short at 154650.. this is where the ...

Testing your trading strategy..
2007-10-28 20:18:00
Hi All, I was thinking today about how I could test my trading strategies without actually committing my money on the markets. Of course, there is a psychological different if you’re trading real money or a dummy account but I am aware of the psychology and can honestly say that I am able to treat my dummy ...

Sorry no S&P trade on Friday.. bad Roulette day!
2007-10-27 03:18:00
Hi All, Unfortunately I didn’t get round to any trading on Friday despite having the whole day free.  I was testing a bit of software from R-Bet (http://www.r-bet.com/) which claims to make money playing roulette. Of course, it’s all an odds game and I really liked how simple the software & nicely programmed the software is.. My roulette ...

Blog sponsorship update
2007-10-26 16:36:00
Hi All, If you’ve been following my blog to the letter (highly unlikely), you would have read that I had a sponsor who were paying me each month in exchange for some small unintrusive adverts. To revisit that post, go here: http://makemesomemoney.co.uk/2007/09/25/a ll-bloggers-free-50-to-start-and-monthly- ongoing-cash/ Well, the set up was that you would use Paypal and set up a subscription so that you receive payment each month. Anyway, the month has come already and I received a note from Paypal regarding the subscription… however, it said that the payment had not gone through! “Oh no” I thought to myself, perhaps they didn’t think it was much value in advertising on my blog. Anyway, I contacted them again and it turns out that it was a Paypal error. They were still happy to continue sponsorship. Shortly afterwards, we sorted out the Paypal problem and I received my second payment! Excellent! They maybe still offering blog sponsorships, I recomme...

24th October - more money opportunities!
2007-10-26 11:38:00
I sold the market at 149975. The 150000 line had been a support level and the price action had bounced on this a few times. I had set my entry to just below this level and got it. I targetted 149625 and it hit this exactly and reversed! Phew! There was another entry above 150000, could have got in around here to watch it rise to 151000. If I were trading it, I probably would have looked for a target of around 150700. Still, it would have been a profit but I was busy updating the trading entries for last night (oops, I had forgotten) that I missed this trade completely. Nevermind, I have +14 in the bag today from 1 trade. (picture to follow - it disappeared from my computer)

23rd October - S&P emini trading update - going well!
2007-10-24 20:29:00
Hi All, I realised that I hadn’t posted my trade of yesterday. I just made one trade but it was profitable. It’s funny, suddenly, over the last week or so, I’ve felt really focused with my trading and felt in tune with what’s happening. Anyway, I went long after the price went through the previous swing high. ...

EOD system - another amazing result - 20 points (80 S&P prices) profit!
2007-10-24 20:07:00
Trust my luck, I decided not to trade the EOD system last night to find that it was perfect in it’s trade. If anyone had put on the trade they would be laughing, they would have made 20 points (or 80 Emini prices). As I mentioned, the system does have a positive expectancy from my backtesting ...

Quick S&P EOD update
2007-10-23 23:29:00
Just as I haven’t chosen to trade todays short entry at close on the S&P, the market has already moved 4. 5 points (or 18 S&P emini prices) in profit if I had taken the trade! Still early days but it’s going the right way. The system has a positive expectancy over time though so to fully ...

EOD S&P - short at close, target 1498
2007-10-23 22:01:00
If you had traded last nights signal (and I’m glad that I didn’t) you would have lost. Anyway, the system is showing a sell with target 1498 today. I am not sure if this would be a good idea considering how strong the market is.. I think I’ll sit out this one also.

S&P EOD trading - Sell S&P, target 1483
2007-10-22 22:20:00
If you had traded over the weekend, the EOD system would have yield a profit today.. however, you would have had to have ridden through a very large draw down. Tonight, we are seeing another sell signal to take profit at 1483. The markets look very jittery and after todays rally I am not sure whether ...

2007-10-22 22:18:00
Hi All, Hope you all are well. The futures market continued to fall since Friday and opened lower. However, today, the market rallied. There were a few opportunities as I got back tonight. I bought as the market retraced and bounced off the 5 day MA at 151050. I was holding out  for a target of 151450 ...

The system is issuing a buy at close with a target of 1544 today. My stop is 10 points away and I got in at 1538.  Lets see if it’s another winner! My previous post I mentioned that I had manually closed for a +10 profit. If I had left the trade running, I would still be ...

Good move today - but not in the long term! Some trading psychology
2007-10-18 21:13:00
Hi All, My decision to close the S&P EOD trade today was a good move. I closed it at the very bottom of todays range and bagged a whopping 10 point (or 40 S&P emini equivalent prices)… hmm, lucky! Actually, when following a system, you should really be disciplined enough to see your trades through despite what ...

Trading update - EOD and S&P emini day trading
2007-10-17 00:21:00
Last nights EOD failed this morning for a loss. However, on close today, it issued a buy at the close at 1538.5 with a target at 1543.3. This would have made target already. 5 out of 6 wins.. not bad!! I watch the S&P emini today and it was a bit choppy so I didn’t trade it.

Morning all, Remember my last post regarding the EOD S&P system where I mentioned that the system reported a sell signal with a target at 1547. The previous close price was 1561 so I thought that this figure was a bit too far away considering that the market was quite high. Early this morning, I did in ...

EOD S&P - Monday trading
2007-10-15 00:56:00
The S&P EOD system is printing a sell to a limit of 1546.9 which is quite far away from it’s current level of 1564. The market has been rather strong and I don’t feel quite comfortable taking this trade so I’ll sit on the sidelines and see what happens. I’ll be gutted if it does make ...

Sorry about the late one on this..  Here’s Friday’s chart Nothing happened except that the market ranged between 156750 and 157250. Muggins here expected some movement so I bought hoping to see a break above the range to find it failed. Then I sold hoping it would fall to 156500.

S&P EOD - what if I had traded the system?
2007-10-12 17:07:00
As mentioned earlier this morning. I did not trade the S&P EOD system which I had recently acquired. I also mentioned that it was -5 this morning. However, the stoploss wouldn’t have hit but the target would have! Amazing! If I had traded it, I would be +5 points (20 prices) up already! So far, it would ...
