  1. No way! Piece of cake...

    stopped -2.5 There was heavy temptation to move stop to 66.5 but no more of that! Perhaps I should have been bidding 2.5 above 66.5? done for the day..

    75 said short me 5 times... !

    The crack is better in Commodities eh?

    R, I felt the same way and decided to hone my skills in my sim account rather allowing my "noobness" to place my precious capital at risk.

  4. D,

    Sort of lulled myself to inactivity early on. The second test of 1760 was to be taken. I took trades like this last week and was so overwhelmed by the immediate profit I refused 90% it on 3 occasions. Identifying these levels before open, as they develop, and choosing them as the best losses to take may be where the pot of you know what is..

    Still pleased with the day as I did nothing unplanned.

  5. Morning Prep..

    Too bad that 1670.5 got stopped by .5 yesterday.. This 1687 area was the goal.. Looking to get long 1676 area reverse unless ISM report changes things a lot.
