    how did you enter at 59 when the low traded was 60?

    edit: scrap that , my charts have gone a bit wonky. Low was 58.

    I'm that "good" :D :p

    Yep, I should get out, just can't bring myself to do it - burning my last cartridges. This is a new low for me, I thought I was way past this. :(

    obviously my detailed trading advice meant nothing, hope it works out

    Actually I was looking for a long. Didn't get filled at .85 and .71 on the bounces. Then thought of just placing a sell stop below the LOD in order to trade the momentum, not my bias.

    Which of course is no excuse for not closing the trade once I realized the position was still open.

    To top things off I lost the internet connection

    Thanking my lucky star, I've introduced a stop to close the position at .92

    ---

    Out at .87 (-280 USD) - I had moved the stop to .81, but it was a stop-limit and didn't touch the limit (was .98 I think), not sure if that sudden spike was induced by this (probably just going paranoid)

    Thanks to everyone for the advice - and for not giving me hell, very glad I don't trade the ES right now

    ---

    Sold the low to the tick and now stopped out to the tick on the bounce... gotta admit I have a knack for picking tops and bottoms :D :p

    Edit: incidentally I had reentered an order to short the LOD (at .57) that perfectly marked the beginning of this new bounce :D OK, that's it, I'm quitting trading and starting drugs (you inject pot, snort heroin and pop coke, right?)
