Hey everyone really new with all of this been trying to do some research and working on my skills with the Demo account. My plan has been on days that I can trade during the day I will use the Apex Elite MVP and the night time I will fall back on Spike Strikers (in process of learning this too). Now that I have got all of the out I will post a few screen shots of the first few trades I have done with APEX MVP - Let me know what you guys think!!
Trade #1 (Russell) 2014-10-01_1020 - dmoney42’s library
- Here I only made like $20 I think it was maybe a bit less but what I don’t understand and maybe someone can help me is that I have (1) Contract - I was using the Spread Scanner ATM contract and all the videos I watch people use the ruler and it shows Y Value -0.7 and people say I made $70 or Y Value 12.8 and they say I made $1,280 on my chart it was -0.7 should I have made $70? is this based on (10) Contracts? for $1 per tick??? Sorry for the stupid questions.
Trade #2 (Gold) - 2014-10-06_1306 - dmoney42’s library
- This was my first trade of the second day I started trading - Gold running up and again I got (1) contract ATM spread - Again the Y Value was 3.8 and I did not profit $380 again newbie question. I made a good profit on it but nothing like what people talk about?
Again I am sorry for the newbie questions and I would like it if people could critic my trades I want to hear the good and bad that I have done.
Lastly I want to close out saying I have been doing this for about two weeks now these are two that I have screen shots so far I will post more trades soon!! I want to make myself a better trader. I have to say it has got to be one of the hardest things to do is sit and wait on trades!!! You just want to jump right in and I am guilty of it and have lost due to this!!! I have made bad trades!!! Any tips other then SIT ON YOUR HANDS lol lol I am sure it will come with time but I must say that I have experienced a great deal of knowledge being here and talking with DM.
Thank you everyone for all of your input and I hope I have made sense to everyone!! I’m working hard so that I can pay loans off and make this my full time job!! Thank You Again Everyone!!!
