    Short 94

    Edit: Can't stand watching the chart, I need a breather. Will let this one ride to the end of the day. Otherwise, SL placed at 9850.

    I don't even know what to say about this trade. Wasn't even monitoring it. Completely missed the down move. Probably wouldn't have covered anyway, thinking we will close at or near the LOD. Anyway, been a mixed bag today.

    Ended the day in the black. Managed to make 10.75 points or $537.50. Buy why I feel so bad about today's overall trading I do not know. It left me with a bad aftertaste.

    Probably from walking away and giving up over 10 points, maybe?
    No expectations = no disappointments. Hard line to follow but those are the rules to have.
    Well done on your trading today.
