Biggest Profit In 5 Months

I decided to stick to my trading system this week and today profited 110 pips on the H-system and another 54 pips on my "discretionary" system.  164 pips for one day is tops for me.  My second best day in the previous 5 months was back on September 14th when I profited 133 pips, this also with the H-system.

In regards to my discretionary system, it is an old "system" that I decided to start using again yesterday.  As I mentioned in a previous post, this system can probably be more systematized which I'm working to do in the next couple of weeks.  

With 2 1/2 trading days left in October, I'm up 287 pips.  I ended September +286 pips.

I'm quitting my job today…..

Just kidding.  I need another 12 months like this before I even consider it. 

As I was exchanging emails yesterday with a fellow trader Mike, we were on the subject of our day jobs.  It made me think how difficult it would be to leave my corporate job in the future if I ever do decide to trade full-time.  Let's face it, my company is handing over a paycheck every other week.  Sure, I have to perform to my abilities and as long as I don't screw anything up or manage to get laid off, I'm guaranteed that this paycheck will be deposited each and every other week.  Obviously this will be far from guaranteed if I trade as my full-time job.  Some weeks I'll actually lose money and some weeks I'll make money.  This is just a fact.  I guess I'll address this if it ever becomes close to reality.  Right now, I'll tuck it away in the back of my mind and focus on learning how to do this.
