    It feels like I'm just playing with fire now. Today is bringing back memories of March 17, 2003, a day that will live on in infamy in my trading career. While I feel that this day has some awesome opportunities, I'm going to take a break for an hour or so.

    I was looking for 1539 but decided it wasn't worth the risk.

  7. SLD 1536.5 CLOSE 15:03:58

    I was looking for 1538 but when I realized what time it was, I immediately put in an order for 1536.5. This trade was more or less an accident.

    Not exactly the typical trade. Looking for 1550. Will give approximately 30 minutes.

    I gave it 30 minutes. I still think that the trade will work, but my entry gives me very little protection. Also, it went down to 1540 almost immediately after entry, which makes me nervous. I will look to enter at 1548 or so if conditions are favorable.
