Boy do I ever hate these trades where I almost know I'm gonna get stopped out, but I hate to close with only a 3 tick stop if it does happen to go in my favor. Tough situation.

 

Hola Amigos! Cancel my ES order! Time for some mojitos

 

Short another 12.75

 

I am out 13 for +1.00 ... hate to do it, but next week I'll work on trade management. This week need to keep it nice and green going into the weekend.

 

was short at 11.25, closed it at 13.75

good start today but net net down by the end.

 

Thanks. I will keep that in mind for the next expiration.

 

largely in the balance from yesterday

Re-looking at the charts, it seems that my stoploss in the morning should have been much tighter on my long trade from 1218. At that time a 2.5/3 point stop would have sufficed to prove me wrong, instead my final loss was 1218 to 1211.5, a 6.5 point loss.

Josh, please don't hesitate to question me if you do see me doing something which doesn't make sense to you.

 

will cover all S @7.75 or 3:50 est, OR BOTH

 

SELL OFF!!
