  1. now gaining 100, but trailed very close, I was tempted to take profit but I prefer to let it run... if only I would have waited for a support...

  2. made $172 as I decided to take profit, then the market went up, ok so now I'm a little up for the day, next trade will be at WS open and it must be only 1 trade.

    anyway tempted to go short now... on a good setup

  3. I was out for a walk, but before going out I inserted a short order near a good res, but the market went up and took my stop, I'm happy about this trade anyway, so far am at $0 - $20 commission.

  5. gaining $86.05, stop at break even - 1tick (commission).
    I like very much this setup and I should have placed a stop higher, I go for a walk, looking at my charts the first target would be at 2902 for a gain of +$143 but I placed it at 2883 (+$415.82)

    bye for now

  6. I decided to place my stop at the correct price over the daily high for a stop of $-57.35 total commission for today are $25 so it would be a loss for the day of around $100, but I decided this is my last trade of the day I wont trade WS today, this because I have made enough trades for today.

    bye for now

    number of trades 5, 5 FESX

    FESX = -E50 (-$72)

    commission: -$25

    TOTAL: - $97


    one very big mistake today, I entered the first trade in the middle of nothing!! didn't wait for res/supp, so I broke the basic principle of my strategy wich is based on res/supp. This affected all my trading day, becasue when a setup was very close and I anticipated a little with my second trade the market made a big bounce, but I took profit a little over my BE point, to recover, yes it was a good profit around $150, but then the market rallied to more than a hypotetical profit of $700, if it was the first trade I would have maybe took profit at around $300 or more.
