Not reading the market today. I'm not focused at all due to personal reasons (nothing serious, just a silly day), but also I think this end-of-quarter-book-balancing crap is not helping either.
exit 79.70. and I am out for a few days to recharge, best month of the year. I also know when I am towing the line of sanity! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzhpP07Hhms&NR=1

Today = $-600 Today I divided my trading into 2 types, BO and Misc BO was profitable and Misc messed up ( still learning ). I think slowly I am getting handle on BO's I can see some consistency coming in, too ealry to confirm but i see some progress. I want to spend 1 more month trying all the signals ( dividing them into various sections, e.g. BO, reversals, with trend pull back on 1 min and 5 mins, choppy , time based, getting in between strong trends without pullback. and see which ones fit my personality and I find consistency. Regarding my Max daily limit discussion. I have written programs for some traders to help them with alerts. While working with them I saw 1 common mistake, most of them made money regularly but one bad day screwed them badly e.g. 2 to 3 months profit gone , i guy almost bankrupted the acct etc... I want to learn trading with very strict rules, either I make it or bye bye. Nodoji: Can you tell me a single day in past 4 months where you had 5 trades back to back losers ? I don't think so ....
