  7. Oddly enough I had trouble finding my forest today....
    In hindsight it looks so innocent and sweet.
    That final collapse pretty much took care of everything tho! :eek:

    Edit: I realized that I marked the Big FBP on the YM & forgot to on the ES -- that annoyed me, so I fixed it.

  8. +47.5 points today :cool:

    The day started badly for me. I lost 4.5 points in my first two trades. The day got progressively better and I noticed I made relatively few mistakes. My biggest loser was -3.5 and the biggest winner was +17.

    Below you'll find my chart for the day, which includes my trades as little arrows:

    Congratulations! :) Some of your successful "holds" were difficult.

  10. I caught the last trade down form 1477 down to 1462, with 2 contracts.:D

    After having achieved my daily goal of 4 points, earlier in the day I closed my platform down, again greed got the better of me and I decided to grab few more FTTs. Needless to say, I lost 7 points on 4 trades, but the last trade made it up.:p

    I am learning to stay longer in my trades but risk management is my biggest problem. :(
