6/21/11 Trade results: 7 trades, $210 profit

We had 7 trades for $210 total profit on the day.

Our goal for the future is to identify in what market conditions we should be position trading and in what conditions we should be scalping. We consider a profit target of 10 ticks or less (usually 5 ticks) a scalp, even though most traders would consider this a more medium term target.

We had the position trades last night, and today when we reached the screens, the market had a tremendous rally, which we did not capitalize on. We did however analyze and interpret price correctly for the time that we were trading. We took a $10 loss on a trade since we saw conditions change in the market. Aside from that loss, we has an 85.71% profit ratio, 7 trades, 6 winning, 1 losing.

I will post my first tutorial on risk / stop management later today.

Here is the chart of the trades performed during regular trading hours.
