    9:37

    SHORT RIG 76.56
    StOP 76.8
    TGT 76.08

    - got into this all sized wrong, realized i shouldn't be in this due to the daily
    - jammed it out before it hit stop, still counting as a loser (actually cost more more than i expected)
    - out -0.24

    10:00

    LONG GS 173.51
    STOP 173.28
    TGT 173.97

    10:16

    SHORT AIG 54.72

    no filled on a COF long at 9:50 that would have probably changed the course of this day..

    woke up at 9:27 today...

    9:37

    SHORT RIG 76.56
    StOP 76.8
    TGT 76.08

    - SPY gaps down but heads up, RIG heads lower making a little triangle
    - got into this all sized wrong, realized i shouldn't be in this due to the daily
    - jammed it before it hit stop, still counting as a loser
    - out -0.24

    10:00

    LONG GS 173.51
    STOP 173.28
    TGT 173.97

    - news at 10am seemed good, get long over GS higher low
    - whipped out, got the direction right
    - out -0.34

    10:09

    LONG JPM 45.21
    STOP 45.04
    TGT 45.52

    - Basically the same trade as GS, same result too
    - JPM ended up at tgt and higher an hour later
    - out -0.18

    10:16

    SHORT AIG 54.72
    STOP 55.01
    TGT 54.14

    - AIG very weak from the open, look for continuation
    - Short under the lower high at the lows, stop over the round #
    - out -0.38

    I wasn't even planning on trading today but my GF woke me up with 5min to the open asking me "arn't you going to trade the open?". I should have said no. RIG was a bad trade. I got the general direction of the other 3 correct, just one of those days..

    4-10 week (oof), 8-15 month.. I'm getting used to these cold starts to the month..

    Go Pats. Pats -9.5 is unbettable IMO. Jets +346 has some value to hedge my heart. Seattle +10 looks good too..
