+$30 for day Should have been better but user error getting out of trades with system automatically putting me back in reverse with stops left by exits (did not deactivate trailing stop) - 8.5% for wk.. Took home 1790.5 short, stop back at 1794.5, if they want it, take it. VERY tired watching 5pt+ profits disappear into small losses over and over again though expected in trading range since Tuesday. 20 point swings every day but suffered due to looking at time frames inconsistent with what I'd like to do. Also having difficulty accepting the endless levitation of the markets are doing. Simply no end to the buying power out there. Could be better to trade something in which I have no bias.
Morning Prep... Stopped out of take home short... Still anticipating rather than accepting. Daily trend STILL up. Think long or do nothing.
L 1803.. hard trade to take (did not hold my resolve with the 1775.5 long from last week) but the dailies on NDX, DOW, and S&P look like classic continuations that could really take off.
Stopped out.. at 1698 for -5. Need to learn that after a large daily trip is not the time to become an investor in prior direction.. Take what you are given as the going gets "tired".. Friday 10pts allowed to reverse to loss.. Today exactly same.. Buying ok.. trading long ok... just not taking points.. From an oversold daily swing low hold for a while.. not up here.. Account not large enough to afford.
