I was negative till a last trade on NQ, netted 11.5 points and got me to dead even for the day. Lucky, cause that trade did not appear till 30 mins to the Chicago close... CL was difficult today... 3 trades for a net -6 ticks..... I am very mad at myself, cause I did not pay attention and took a CL trade into the 9:30 CST weekly report and got stopped out. Just a pure error, luckily it only cost 11 ticks. How did everyone else do today?
TICKS...oops sorry...yeah buddy big diff... or now do we call them handles?? haha how's you do today?
I am freakin worn out from today... it was just hard. I am taking a break for Friday and Monday due to travel. I am sure it will do me good... honestly I made 2 mistakes today that cost me a profitable day. One was the one I mentioned, which is crazy cause I reminded myself that the report was due out today at 930 CST the other mistake I went into a trade when I knew better.
Today looked gruesome for me after closing out some shorts that came to fruition today, but that's all on the unrealized stuff. Time for me to sit back and look for more short entries on some diagonals.
I made a killing in the shock market today, I guesstimated before the open it would be a potentially: Bullish, Cautiously Bullish, Neutral day...when and Where those points happen remains to be seen -- you have to wait for things, or your vision, to unfold...and capitalize on those moments or signs or opportunities, A resting boa snake in the bushes, a bird in the sky, an octopus in the ocean depths -- try to see things from a collective picture viewpoint -- and Why, question it... what are the triggering variables in play, Past, present, future,
My cat will sit and look at a gopher hole, sometimes for hours. I go about my business and look out the window and he's still there; seemingly in the exact same position. I've never seen him catch one; but I have found decapitated gophers on my back patio.
It isn't funny. You really need to get it straight. I see you corrected your OP, but seriously, lol, losing 6 points in CL would be very BAD.
for the record I would never set a stop at 6 points... that's $6,000 per contract... my stops are 8-12 ticks,,, yes ticks sorry to have made a mistake in posting to this Elite board.... but thanx to the posts police like you I got straightened out... good job , keep it up
