Before we get to October’s numbers, here is a short reminder of the results from September. The full report from September can be found here. You can also go back indefinitely by clicking here and scrolling down.
Tradesight Tick Results for September 2015
Number of trades: 13
Number of losers: 6
Winning percentage: 53.8%
Net ticks: +21.5 ticks
Reminder: Here are the rules.
1) Totals for the month are based on trades that occurred on trading days in the calendar month.
2) Trades are based on the calls in the Messenger exactly as we call them and manage them and do not count everything you could have done from taking our courses and using our tools.
3) All trades are broken into two pieces, with the assumption that one half is sold at the first target and one half is sold at the final exit. These are then averaged. So if we made 6 ticks on one half and 12 on the second, that’s a 9-tick winner.
4) Pure losers (trades that just stop out) are considered 7 tick losers. We don’t risk more than that in the Messenger calls.
It is important to note that these results do not include the Tradesight Value Area, Opening Range, or Institutional Range plays, all of which have been working quite well on their own.
You can go through the reports and compare the breakdown that I give as each trade is reviewed.

There were a few slow days in October, but most of the month was fairly steady with improved volume and ranges. There were 22 trading days in the month, and our Opening Range plays worked 19 out of 22 days, although we don’t count those in the results above because they are mechanical plays. We may start to officially track them in 2016 as they have been a source of a lot of profits for traders this year again.
With the exception of the Thanksgiving week later in the month, November is usually a solid trading month.
