They just published the FED Beige book, which at first seemed poor, then good, then not so good and then who-knows. I was expecting a break either up or down, nothing huge, though.
Got stopped at the close (Ninja has a feature where you can flatten everything at a certain time) for 7400. So for the day, a net 10 cent profit move in crude! (+.62 1/2 here but -.52 1/2 earlier) Could have been worse. After the Beige Book, it didn't know what to do, but EURO weakness helped dampen demand for the stuff. Looking to short again in the next half hour if it hiccups up to 7425, otherwise, flat until Europe open.
when I am winning, I feel I am market's beloved puppy, whenever my master asks me to do whatever, I will be glad to do. when I am losing, I feel I am a market's abandoned unloved, when the market tells me to do something, I argue with it, even fight with it, get more severely punished, and generate more hate toward the market, what a vicious cycle I wish I am a good pet, always listen to my master: the market, but what the heck my master in one minute said it is up, in next minute said it is down, hard to serve
You are in for a world of hurt if you're trading real money for a living :eek: How did you get a fill for 74.7323
