May 31st, 2017 - S&P 500 e-Mini - Trading Activity - Today's Real Money Profit $135, Sim Trade Profit $850
Boring overnight activity, not much action at the European open.
I mentioned that I had been looking at the Trading Day of the Month concept for Bonds.
The analysis looks pretty good with a very positive track record so far this year, see chart below.
So, I have decided to add Bonds to my Simulation trading to check it out in more detail.
This is the 30 year Treasury Bond.
Simulation Trading Bonds
Bought 1 contract of 30 yr Bonds this morning @ 154.50. Target is first profitable open after holding for one day. First profit exit day is June 2nd. Stop is 152.875.
Real Money Trading S&P 500 e-Mini
There was a rally off overnight support at about 6:00 am that was trade-able.
I was out for a walks so missed it.
Now looking for how this will set up for the open.
Rallied continued into the historic high where it found resistance and pulled back.
All signals pointed to a sell coming into the open. Took 2 short @ 2415.00. Target @ 2414.00
Target hit, we are flat with $90 profit.
2,000 tick consolidated for a short time then broke lower into a sell signal. 8:35 - Took 1 short @ 2413.50. Target @ 2412.50.
Target hit, we are flat with $140 profit.
2 good trades time to switch the the simulation.

9:00 - 10,000 tick gives another sell signal. Was thinking to much looking for a bounce and missed it. Market continues lower.
9:03 - 10,000 tick gives us another sell. Took 2 short @ 2404.00. Did not get a good fill in the volatility and market ran up after the fill. Will take it out at 2403.75.
Target hit, we are flat with $304 profit.
OK, The order entry system is getting sluggish. Not a good sign.
I got a buy signal coming off a double test of support. The order filled way late, but fortunately at a better price. But, I have learned that when this happens it can lead to real disasters so I flushed it right away for a small profit.
We are now flat with $349 profit.
Looks like we have found some support. Market has tested this level three times.
2,000 ticks gives us a buy signal. 9:13 - Took 2 long @ 2404.50. Target @ 2405.50.

9:15 - 10,000 tick gives us a buy signal. Took 2 long @ 2406.00. Target @ 2407.00.
So now the market is digesting that early decline and is going SWS just above support.
Rally back resumes.
Target hit, we are flat with $540 profit.
Rally might be stalling.
2,000 tick gives me 2 consecutive sell signals declining of the recent short term high. Took 2 short @ 2406.75. Target @ 2405.75.
Broke higher off a higher short term low into a buy signal. Flipped trade. Took 6 long @ 2408.25. 2 to cover the shorts and 4 for recovery. Target @ 2409.25.
Target hit, we are flat with $575 profit.
We have now retraced 50% of the decline from the overnight high.
I got distracted doing some other stuff and missed the decline from the rally.
A couple of good trades there.
Rallied off the pullback into 2 consecutive buy signals. Took 2 long @ 2408.25. Target @ 2409.25.
Might be entering that crazy part of the day where it starts getting choppy.
Target hit, we are flat with $671 profit.
2,000 tick rallied into a lower short term high then declined into a sell signal. The market ran away from me and I did not get filled.

Target hit, we are flat with $849 profit.
11:00 am, a good day. Time to step aside and focus on some research.
