Sunday we had a gap up. I shorted it mainly to hold a longer term position, but chickened out as gap closed and I took 1 point of profit. Overall stocks have some bearish trends but we are mostly in range bound market overall.
Yeah, I really wish I was better at trading, and sit around all day watching sticks on screen to find that one big trade than how I trade of whipping out 30 trades in a hour. I get fidgety if I am in day trade to long, you have to have incredible patience to get the big trades and I never had that, on other hand I can stay in Long term commodity trades for five years with many rollovers and not think twice. I am only good at making trading as boring as possible and my brain don't give me horrible pain. Think about it when in losing trade, your brain is actually making you feel very comfortable, that is the pain I get it I am in any day trade even if I am profitable on it and taking too much time, and this is a good thing as I have done so many trades based around three/four minutes, internal clock. I am just happy I been able to finally develop signals and able to trade trend a little bit than nothing but counter-trend trades. You just find what you good at, and stick to it than to do what someone else is doing, your personality has blend in with how you trade. Starbuck time, am out of here.
