    Total P/L -1,379.38
    8 trades
    0 wins
    6 losses
    2 b/e

    * Just one of those days:
    1st trade of the day (MON) rallied close to tgt, stopped out.
    2nd trade got within .03 of tgt and stopped b/e( TEVA)
    Entered a trade by mistake (NTAP) while I was setting up a trade I hit the sell short order.
    FAS got to 9.99 (tgt was 10.03)...stopped b/e
    CEPH long (best setup of the day) stopped me out by .02 then went right to tgt.
    AAPL had a perfect Lower high to short at 1:25 (second day of a big rally...stalled out through lunch and finally weakened..great setup) I had the order all set, and just froze...was easiest trade of the day.

    Now I know what they mean when they say "Don't quit your day job!"
    Thank goodness beers were only $1.35 at Rock Bottom Happy Hour!

    Hopefully I have to kick SLF #4 out in the morning to trade....maybe I can have something go right today after having my ass smacked up and down by the market......(yes Jeg, that's an open invitation to you, enjoy!)
    On to tomorrow......
