If today were a dessert it would be an Eton Mess

Choppy day but we make $2370 trading the NQ alone

Crikey today was choppy.  For that reason we made more trades than we wanted to - which is why we're showing you the full performance log from our audited live trade account (above). 


18 winning trades.   Zero losers.  There is a complete list of all trades taken below.  The times are UK times though (so don't panic if you are USA based!!!).  All taken in the first session as we never trade the second session (just not our ting because its 7pm in the UK).   We are pleased with today because it was a choppy first session. 


When its choppy we follow the Inteligex Anti-Chop Rule:

Trade at extremes of probability and ONLY n the direction of the daily trend.


And did it pay off??  $2370 worth of pay off yes.  We traded 44 contracts in total - so quite a heavy day at one level (I did say we traded more than we like to). 

But ... all those trades only cost us $60 in commission via Tradovate - which is amazing!  Super deal.  Not like the early days of our trading career when we were paying $15 per round trip contract on the eMini (and having to call a broker with an order!!).
