    than make up for the record during the day! Taking a break now after beating myself up with the es. There will be losses, and thats part of reason I hesitate to just take goal instead of at least weighing risk/reward for each trade so I don't end up with a string of losses that are 2-3x what I would have needed for goal.

  2. es real choppy today. Made good trade at 101cst for 21/2 points (could have stayed in for 41/4). Other than that just chop, chop, chop. Even DAX did not trend much today. Did you see it different.:)

    A couple fair moves considering it was back to a small range, but I got chewed up for the most part. The bond was pretty good today and thats what kept me going. I reversed out of my intial shortin my regular account then went short which was a great run down.

    Was staring at it right after 1st post, and took it on retrace. I hope retrace. 840 et. maybe a reverse, other wise willing to hold to 1035.75 and see reaction. May have missed a bond long at 110^10.

    with a net of $177.45, which nets goal. New goal now is $170 as value is just over $17000. I didn't get this bond trade in my everyday account, and it is running.:mad: Oh well. Should have stuck with bonds in the 1st place. Good thought maybe that I might still be hanging onto the es if this was not in this account, or possibly short and going no where.

    trade would have been good for 1.25 which also would have netted goal, and didn't hit my initial risk at 1035.75. Actually gave a reentry also,, but I was living all the psych books on trading and didn't act. :)

    Potential for nothing till the open. If so and I get a trade it will be a late post as I will be probably trading 2 accounts.
