  1. Took a few big hits early on due to fast market conditions. As I was sitting in disbelief looking at the waterfall ensuing the market open, first thing that crossed my mind was that "anything can happen" and this morning action was the perfect example of that scenario.

    On a positive note, even though I lost a little more than intended, I stayed within the risk parameters, not exceeding the amount of my recent winning days. Tomorrow is another day and I'm ready to rock 'n' roll :D.

  4. Another down day...
    Seems like I'm back to my old ways. The issue is not that I can't make money, I just don't know how to keep it. Both yesterday and today I was up initially and then proceeded to flush everything down the toilet. I could have just walked away with 230 gross today but for some reason I had to push for more :(.

  7. Today's blotter doesn't tell the story... Even though I had very few losses the market didn't offer much, so I just took whatever was available. Happy to finish positive, I really need to get my confidence back.

  8. Made a mistake that cost me almost half of today's profit. Nevertheless, still a decent day considering countless headfakes and very little follow through.

  9. I don't usually make excuses but software issues this morning were the cause for the loss. Fast market conditions only added insult to injury.
