Glad to see you have gone live! Best of success!
Doing well. I am trading oil futures live and so far it is going well.
I am going to start posting my trading results on my own website at www.watersdomain.com. I will also continue to post things here from time to time.
Practice Results for 2011 09 27
I didn't really have much of a practice day today as I was taking care of several things to make sure that I would be ready for live trading which involved a few support chats and phone calls, along with other things. Sometime within the next several days, I will begin trading live again.
Practice Results for 2011 09 13
I switched to trading FAS today in the event that I start trading with a prop firm. I caught the big moves in FAS first thing in the morning, but then FAS got me "off blance" later as I am used to how CL moves so I gave back my profit trying to give FAS a chance to move. I just need to get accustomed again to how FAS moves. I haven't traded it for a long time.
I am reaching out in order to find one or more individuals who can provide ~$25,000 capital for my business. The arrangement I am seeking is a simple interest-only loan in which I would pay $2,500 in interest by the end of each year with a balloon payment of the principal due at the end of a 10-year period.
The total funds collected after 10 years would be $50,000 (using $25,000 principal). That is significantly better than any low-risk investment option, such as a CD, and could end up being significantly better than high-growth investments with the world economy being as it is at present.
Also, a promise I make to those providing the financing is that as soon as I am ready and able to do so I will make a more lucrative arrangement with you.
If you are in a position to provide all or part of the financing I need, please contact me for any and all details. You can reach me at richard -at- watersdomain -dot- com (replace the -at- and -dot- with the appropraite symbols).
Running Summary of CL Practice Trading Results
Keeping track of and updating running totals in posts is not the ideal way to manage this so I am moving the running results summary up to the Intro Message of my board. If you do not see the Intro, please click the link at the upper-right corner of the board that says "Show Intro Message."

This paragraph should have read as follows:
"As I was still working with my backups Tuesday morning, I didn't start practice trading until the last hour and a half of the regular CL trading hours, but it went quite well."

I was out of town visiting family, but I did not want to post that publicly before or while I was gone.
CL Practice Trading Results for 2011 08 30
I did not get any practice trading accomplished on Monday as I was still finishing the process of reconfiguring my computer and getting everything ready.
As I was still working with my backups Monday morning, I didn't start practice trading until the last hour and a half of the regular CL trading hours, but it went quite well.
I have been away for several days as I continued to have some instability in my main computer last week. I have rebuilt it using a different motherboard and also took some time to investigate some different setups and have decided to configure my RAID array differently this time around, and I am glad that I did. Also, it takes a lot of time to move around as much data as I have and to make several copies of it.
Now, back to to trading...
CL Practice Trading Results for Week of 2011 08 15
I just realized that I hadn't posted summary results for last week.
Here are some notes:
- The software shows total number of trades as 82. I count this as no more than 42 trades as I place an order for 2 contracts at a time and manage those 2 contracts as a single trade (or 4 contracts as a single trade when I occasionally average up or down).
- I did not trade last Tuesday or Friday for the reasons I posted already. So these are the results of 3 days of trading.
CL Practice Trading Results for 2011 08 19
I wasn't able to practice Friday as I had a computer problem first thing in the morning. I think I have it resolved now. So far, trading is going well on 8/22/2011 as I write this.
CL Practice Trading Results for 2011 08 16
I did not trade today as I was involved with 2 church service projects - one during the night Monday night and the second one during the day on Tuesday.

CL Practice Trading Results for 2011 08 12
I really frustrated myself at the end of the day. I did a trade to catch a bounce, but it went down further. Based on volume, I averaged down with another 2 contracts. The price came back up in my favor, and instead of taking another $500-$800 or so profit, I decided to give it a chance to develop. Well, I ended up taking a significant loss and gave back a lot of my profit. I was up $1,700+ at the time. However, I still ended with a good profit so I will be happy with that and continue to learn.
