  2. First try had a good start but good starts don't always finish that way and I was stopped for a 7 tick loss (short at 9537 out at 9544) and the second and final try at this level is short at 9548 with a stop at 9554. I'm looking for a 40 tick profit.

  3. Another very promising start that meets with a bad end. Sometimes a breakout really is a breakout. Two tries for a combined loss of 13 ticks and commissions. I'll try your 6S again next week, Inky.

  5. Today...

    +.0125 Soybeans

    +.60 TF (miniRussell2000)

    Notes:

    Done with trading for today (been done since 9:35am CST)...THIS is where I get in trouble if I go for more...done for today, gotta protect my profits, even if a little over $100.00

    *encouraged as did not just jump in many TF trades...trying to be more disciplined.

    *good way to start April trading...already looking forward to Monday's trading...

  8. do you think it retraces to fill the gap or goes further downward?...if anything, probably not until Sunday night-Monday?

    I'm glad you heard us! You thought about selling it because you wanted to "get back" what you missed. I assure you that kind of chasing never ends well!
