-96.33 on 8 contracts today. For the month of Sept -811.62 on 203 contracts traded on 84 trades. First full month or results and not very positive. Hopefully can turn this around next month.

-21.34 on 13 contracts today. -157.42 for the week on 57 contracts. Trying to move up in contract level but the trades aren't working for me now. With the exception of 1 major slip-up yesterday, there wasn't anything major but still not good to end down for the week.

-151.62 on 18 contracts today. Wild ride today on the markets but ended on the down side bec of a lack of discp on my first trade.

+73.26 on 7 contracts traded today. Great day today, not because of the results (which wasn't that good) but bec of the way I traded today.

13 contracts and -281.67 today. Still trying to increase the contract level but only experiencing the L trades right now and this (combined with trying to trade higher contracts) is resulting in very poor trading. For the week -331.34 on 58 contracts traded. Next week will try to go back to smaller size.

17 contracts and -76.57 today. Tried to ramp up the number of contracts today, guess I'm still not ready to do that yet.

+102.62 on 4 contracts traded today. Finally a Fed day that went in my favour! Usually I don't hold open positions when the Fed announcements are made at 11am PST bec the volatility would just cause me to be waivered out but today I got in at a pretty good spot and I had very small size so I risked it and for once it worked out. I wouldn't do anything differently next time except I probably wouldn't have a gain target (which hit instantly today after the announcement) but maintain a LL. Only captured +0.57 of the +1.82 move!

-106.82 on 15 contracts. Technical difficulties at the exchanged (lasted about 1/2 hr and quotes didn't show properly) caused me to remove my LL while trading was halted and so on that trade I followed -0.36 before exiting (my LL is typically -0.10)! Pretty much impossible to make a gain given I followed so much of that move against me. Technical issues like that happen and is beyond my ctrl but lately there have been at least 3 days in the last month I can remember where exchange problems were present so if this continues to happen, might have to add this higher chance of exchange issue factors into my strat. Not a good start to the week.

11 contracts traded today and -84.94. For the week -294.95 on 47 contracts traded and 21 trades. Much of this week's loss was attributable to the terrible Tues trades. Looking forward to next week and put this week behind me.

-243.45 on 13 contracts traded today. Although the total contracts don't seem different from my daily contracts last month the initial contract level was much higher today bec for the new month I decided it was time to 'ramp up' the number of contracts I was trading. As a consquence of this higher contract level, the larger dollar amounts of G/L (actually just L's) really affected me and I ended up not following my strat at all. Guess I wasn't quite ready to ramp up contracts yet. Awful start to the month.
