I am thinking about going short in the YM late today 03.22.07

***************July 24 Trades***************


Begin: 1 short open car @ 11601.
End: Flat.

+263 tics.

This was just a buy to close out the short from previous cycle.

***********July 25 Trades***********

Begin/End: Flat:

FIFO order: -2 -23 +37 = +12 tics.

I was real lucky to get myself out of a loss - again!!
I attempted to get an entry several more times but
it didnt work out. That's ok, though. There is more piker
trading to do next week.

***********YM Daily PnL**********

This is for 2008 calendar year.

****************July 28 Trades**************

Begin/End: Flat.

FIFO order: +5 +4 +8 -10 +4 +6 +2 -1 +2 -6 +7 +4 = +25 tics

Poor judgement/selfcontrol by me - too many trades for too few tics. Tried to entr with Lmt several times but price would move away and i didnt want to chase. Oh well - ill take the 73.88usd.
I am a piker!!

***********Aug 1 Trades***********

Begin: 1 open short @ 11306.
End 1 open short @ 11291.

Avg price with 1 short car open = 11291.
I just wanted to do a trade or two to take more $$ out.

May not trade tues if the storm causes power outages
due to wind whipping tree limbs against powerline
in my neighborhood.

The previous post has some mistakes.

1. Title should be "Aug 4 Trades"
2. End should be " 1 open short @ 11258"
Mia Culpa!!
