  2. Was a good day... but I won't have any nails left soon.. biggest stress is sitting tight while the price moves along... the UWM trade.. I had a planned exit at 25.7 but thought I was running out of time... so it got to 26. I think the trick here is to focus for first 2 hours and come back for the final 2.. The middle is hell.

  10. 1st positive week since early Sept... Hmmm.. I was no a roll (downhill) so what happened... ? Well I used to look down on day-trading but have realized there are markets when it is all that works. Learning to day-trade not a bad thing. Account could need to become an income account unfortunately so handling all kinds of markets may be necessary... The CATASTROPHIC DRYS put trade if handled better was an easy 15k swing by today...

    Please..!!! I have suffered and learned... no more of those.. Seems an account is NEVER safe from ruin.. NEVER..
