3/20/2013 -$100 (CNY Flash man. pmi) JOBB trade 2

I have to post the bad trades with the good, and this is a perfect example of a bad trade. A small amount of slippage on a trade is to be expected and is ok but on a trade like this that doesn't make large moves it can be tricky. The trade would of ended in a small profit if i would not of used the auto click. I now know that the trailing stop doesn't work for anything other than trades taken from the super dom or chart. On the infinity platform it didn't matter where you clicked. Once you entered the market the trailing stop took over, knowing this I wont use 2 entry methods with ninja again, either jobb or the auto click. After I've completed 5 trades ill go live and test out ninja trader with real money. This will probably be the last time I attempt this trade, there are much safer options but at least I got the trailing stop to work :-)(Go full screen and switch quality to 720p to see the video better)

World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates Trade

Well it seems there are several news events that I had no idea even existed and this is one of them. It seems it can be traded best with corn futures and soybean futures with bracket orders. Below are the  3 previous release charts showing what was possible. This
 release comes out monthly and is worth researching. Charts below show 
how both corn and soybean futures reacted to this release. To view release dates and times for this news visit  <a href="http://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/" target="_blank">http://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/ </a>

3/8/13 +$1562.50 (Non Farm Payroll)

Well today was my first time getting a trigger off of nfp with infinity and it went perfectly. Both auto click and straddle got good fills and trailing stop worked exactly as expected. I checked s & p e mini and it had a spike of 5 points then retraced to about the halfway mark. $50 per point move x 5 points= $250 x 2 contracts= $500 total profit of which I might of taken between $400-$450. The ZB moved 38 points x $31.25 per point move= $1187.5 x 2 contracts = $2375. Of that move I was able to take $1562 so im very happy I chose to trade the zb over the s&p emini.
