Weekly Review

Well we didn't end on a high note.  The energy markets hit us back to back days.  But the thing to remember is that this is a system and there will always be draw down.  With that said it was a profitable week overall.  And if we keep the weeks profitable and the months profitable then we will be fine in the long run.

***On a side note I will be making an adjustment to the way I enter the oil and nat gas markets.  Because both of these contracts we trade are mini, I will be using stop limit orders instead of stop orders to enter trades to avoid the bad fills we have been subject to over the last 2 days.  The market makers (locals) like to use the mini to screen off postions they take with the big contract.  And I feel that when the market starts moving fast our mini contract is at a disavantage in pricing with the big contract and that can lead to bad fills.  So going forward all trades in these two markets will show a stop limit on the entry line.

I will be out of the office on Monday attending a conference.  I will post guidance if I can and if not I'll be back on tuesday to start another run.  We have some profits to take back.  So I hope everyone has a SUPER weekend!  Cheers!
