DAY 2: Got three nice entrance/exits before 10AM and got 3 points, then disaster, down 3.25 on one trade!!! What was I thinking?????? Then, slowly I rebounded for another 3 takes, 1 point each. Grand total: 2.75 points. So: 2.75 x $50 less 7 round trips x $5 = 137 - 35 = 102 dollars less 40% in taxes = $60 So another day in positive territory. Only 60 green backs but hey somewhere I am sure it is a tidy sum. Hope to do better manana.
Can I play? I'm a new member. This is a good idea, hold our feet to the fire. I'm starting with $3K due to 2006 losses. ES -150
DAY 3: What a day. I started lovely. By noon I had 5 successful entrances/exits for 5 full points. Then... greed and carelessness entered. By 1:30 I lost 2.25 points and then just to really make sure that it is a complete screw up I gave another 3.5 points to the market. So in total I lost .75 which is around 37 bucks. That plus 8 round trips made the total loss of $77 big ones. What hurts the most is that I could have alked away by noon and would have had $250 in my pocket. - 77 ES one contract at the time going for 1 point profit.
