December 24 & 26 & 27, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD)

The U.S. economy grew at a healthy 4.1% annual rate in the third quarter, revised figures showed Friday, boosting hopes that the recovery is shifting into higher gear after years of sluggishness. The Commerce Department previously pegged the annual growth rate from July through September at 3.6%. But new data indicated stronger gains in consumer and business spending over the summer.

After a very large move yesterday the markets are whipsawing again, but I made a small profit of 30 dollars today.

My beautifully robust system withstood the violent markets and gave me 230 dollars today as the nervous market gyrated from negative 10 points to positive 20 points within a few minutes immediately after the Federal Reserve announcement of the mild-tapering of its long-running Assets-Purchase (aka) Quantitative-Easing (aka) Printing-Money programme.

Instead of printing present 45 billion dollars a month, only 35 billion dollars a month will be printed or created in 2014.

(Today S&P 500 Index's Day Range was nearly 43 points.)

After abnormally quite for nearly two weeks the US stocks moved down substantially today. It could be the beginning of a serious correction or the adverse reaction to Greenspan calling the US Federal Reserve for the total write-off of Federal Treasury's US$ 2 Trillions debt. Anyway I made A$ 410 today and expecting to make more as markets crashing down some more.

I have activated the second order option in my EA and the result today is the loss of $68 instead of some small profit. Market today is very quiet with no volatility at all. A shit market.

Basics Of My System and EA (Expert Adviser)

My system has following three basic components,

     (1) Signals Generator, 

     (2) Orders Handler, and 

     (3) Money Manager.

Signals Generator produces either BUY or SELL signal according to the CONDITION specified. The condition could be anything and as simple as 3 consecutive bars with -- Higher Highs and Higher Lows for a BUY (or) Lower Highs and Lower Lows for a SELL.

Orders Handler opens a BUY or SELL order When a signal is produced by the Signals Generator and If no opened-order exists.

Money Manager takes profit and closes an Opened-Order when the Take-Profit level is reached or broke through. It also cuts loss and closes an Opened-Order when the Stop-Loss level is reached or broke through. 

(From my more than 15 years of trading index-futures one crucial fact I've learned is to correctly set the Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels, and thus the Optimum Ratio between these two levels, according to the prevailing market. Right now my optimum levels for S&P 500 eMini CFD market are 4 index points and 8 index points for Stop-Loss and Take-Profit respectively.)

Two STOP-LOSSs from two SHORTs killed me today. Total loss of A$174, but I am still tiny bit ahead for this month of October so far. (a lousy 14 dollars.)

October 17, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD)

(Please click the chart to enlarge.)

Today was almost a perfect day. It always is for my system when the market goes one way up or down only. My system actually is a trend-catching software which also takes advantage of large whipsaws. It also minimizes losses in small whipsaws. Only in median sized whipsaws like 4-6 points ups and downs it gives me shit.

Today my EA made two Take-Profit LONGs which gave me $320 profit. I lost $10 in very last SHORT which was negligible.

October 17, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD) - Noon

(Please click the chart to enlarge.)

My first trade for today. A LONG and money-maker of A$160. Let's wait and see what'll happen rest of the day.

October 16, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD)

(Please click the chart to enlarge.)

Clearly a bad day for my EA. At noon I was ahead $70. But the bloody whipsaw afternoon killed me with A$114 loss total for today.

October 16, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD) - Noon

(Please click the chart to enlarge.)

Up to noon today my EA made two trades. The first trade a SHORT was stopped-out with a $90 loss. But the second trade a LONG was a Take-Profit with $160 win. So today I am ahead $70 so far and I am now sitting on a LONG.

October 15, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD)

(Please click the chart to enlarge.)

Today was the worst possible day for my trading EA. Market did a perfect whipsaw on me and killed me. My EA did four trades all cut down by Stop-Losses and I had to stop the EA at 2 pm to avoid further losses. I lost all together A$364 today. Shit happens sometimes, luckily not all the times and I am still ahead for this month of October.

October 14, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD) - First Trade

As usual my EA made three trades today, two LONGs and one SHORT. Today was a bouncing back day thus the LONGs were money-makers while the SHORT was a stop-loss. So I made only A$134 today.

October 9, 2013 (S&P500 Emini Index CFD)

(Please click the chart to enlarge.)

Another very good day due to high volatility because of ongoing US Government shut-down and rapidly approaching US Government default. My system made four trades and the only second trade SHORT did lose money but the rest making money. Altogether I made A$276 today.

Thank you very much to President Obama for letting the US Congress shut down his own government, idiot.

Not a good day at all. Two trades and both are losers. First one the SHORT was stopped-out with $90 loss and the second and last one the LONG gave me negative $80. Altogether I lost today $170, buggered.
