Stared them today and passed today.

Boy is Jeff right about loving the opening volatility! Caught 3 swings as /ES played Pong. A good day. Thanks @Jeff Ziegler !

My goal is to have 10-20 accounts, trade super conservative. Link the accounts and have a profit goal of $100-200/day. So I will keep trying to get more accounts. A lot easier to get approved for the small accounts. Only 1500 and 2500 profit target. But then it will also be harder to keep and you cant take out as much. Pros and cons... PS! It gets a bit tricky when you try to link serval accounts, make sure you mark the account you trade + the group. I made a big mistake today, though I bough on contract pr account (eval and real) to the upside at open, but settings change over night so I bought 15 contracts on my real account and had to stop out at 1,100 loss (right after it took off to the upside, so that was great lol). Almost lost that account. At least now I have a couple more for tomorrow :)

Calling it a day in the futures side. Caught the move up today and made $1,523 Something I learned that I need to step out when I'm already profitable for the day and not to chase the trade or keep looking for trade to take and end up losing what I've made. Lesson learned! Now let's see if we can get some time decay on the credit spread side. $10k to go!

Making these charts is helping me understand how this futures trading works (I am very new to this). So I thought I would share it in case it can help anyone else. I know this will be common sense for some of you but it really helped me to see it on the chart. I attached the pdf but here are a few details. If I am wrong about any of this, feel free to tell me. This is what I see so far. This example is set to 5 ticks. So each time there is a movement of $1.25 = 5 ticks, then a bar appears on the renko and the reason why this is so effective for us is this is NOT time bound. Which is why I made this chart to remind myself that Jeff is always reminding us that this is the pattern of the price action. So this shows you how spaced out the times are based on the ticks that it moves in that time. Which tells a very different picture then the chart. And he says it helps take the “noise” out of the charts and helps us make better decisions based on price action, if we want to stay or get out of a trade. (see first pic) Jeff said sometimes based on price action you change it to 5 ticks so you see more bars print, compared to having it at 8 ticks. I put these bars for the renko in the times on ES chart that the renko reflects, to help me see how we don’t get caught up in the view of the ups and downs, its part of the wave. That is why we watch the price action pattern in all the tools Jeff gives us. Wow, this is starting to make sense one piece at a time! (see second pic)
