Just for fun, here are some sim trades, short at 1095 on possible breakdown of range. Short on 1099 on possible touch of resistance and pullback. Short on CL if it hits 81.92 as a possible breakdown reversal.
It did not help When the market broke, I widened my stop with two ticks to my maximum stop loss (2 points). I did not have faith in a rebound, but two ticks seemed cheap just in case. Eventually the market did rebound and I would most likely have got filled with a 1,5 point profit, but I`m a short term trader, so I have to admit that I was wrong on this one. Btw, is it in the spirit of this thread that I make posts like this and post my daily charts or should I make myself a journal? I really did not intend to start logging my trading publicly, but it just happened one day and I do like the idea of being held accountable by someone other than myself. Enjoy the weekend guys and gals!
