Documenting trades using Camtasia. Experimental stage ie. I haven't an inkling what I was doing (No, I didn't read the manual. What's new?).
You-tube upload was a mess but somehow I managed to get all the videos up. Quality's bad though. Please use "Full Screen Mode" to view.
Skip right to Part 3 for the 6J trade. Part 1 and 2 show the scanning process (without audio, they are extremely boring).
(Update: Part 1 and 2 removed. They bored me to tears.)
Part 1: Scanning 6 symbols and checking out 6J (using 5min chart, and checked hourly for key S&R)
Part 2: Checked out 6A (using 5min chart, and checked hourly for key S&R), settled on 6J
Part 3: 6J Short (6J 5min chart is at row 1 column 1 of the 6-chart matrix ie. top left corner)
As Fate Would Have It
Just to make life a little more interesting, I went back to take a look at the 6A short that I gave up:
A 7-point move per contract. Ha.
PnL
Have been back trading a smaller 10k account since Monday (Jun 6th). A complete disaster so far. 2nd row from the bottom shows profit for 6J short shown in above video.
Charts
2nd 6J short from today (video is an hour long - with clip speed at 900% it's still a 7 plus minute video, so, no video):
6A and TF trades from yesterday (in the midst of doing after action reviews (AAR) for the rest):
Absolutely Nothing to Do with Trading

Just what I need... another internet video that Mrs L&W can't catch me watching!
LW!!!!! :-) I was just thinking of you!!!!
Forexbird is trading futures! I was reading his old posts and when I saw this: http://forexbird.blogspot.com/2011/04/major-step-forward.html, I thought of you!
:) :D :P
Join the queue of people telling me to do this! :-)
I know I should, but I should also eat broccoli, go to bed before 2AM, tolerate fools etc.!
Tolerating fools extends my life expectancy?? You don't say!!
:-)
@.@ is it comment not working for last post?
hahahahah i can't post my comment last post yesterday for some reason...
ahhhh maybe its my computer problem
hahahah this video should be interesting...
Oh Jules - I would hardly call losing ~$400 in 5 trades a complete disaster, lol! I'd call it trading with well defined stops that kept you from having big losses. =)
Your losses on the 8th were countered by some nice gains, so no disaster there either. =) You're going to have to add some extra zeros to the losses if you want the word disaster to have any credibility. ;-)
