sweet.. do you know, you bought the bounce off S2 and closed at S1?

 

SLD 1503 OPEN 10:36:48

I'd like to see a new low for the day.

 

I just exited a little more than half of my position at 1502.5

 

I exited the other half at 1502.5. Something just doesn't seem right.

 

SLD 1508 OPEN 11:24:13

 

I just did a partial exit at 1507.5

 

I exited the remainder of my position at 1507.5

 

SLD 1508 OPEN 13:06:12

 

I ended up exiting this trade at an average price of 1509.

 

I was able to get enough half point scalps to bring me to net positive for the day. I was trying to force something to happen on Trade 3, and I got hurt for it. The other thing that hurt me today was that I could see that the market was going higher, but I didn't want to believe it. Today's action didn't make much sense given what happened on Friday. Therefore I was trading what I thought instead of what was actually happening. Thankfully I only lost time and opportunities; today could have been a lot worse. Hopefully I will learn to follow the tape even when it doesn't seem logical.
