<b>ES 54 contracts traded, three round turns, -2pts, -$5,400</b> Tried to short below R1 failure this morning and again below pivot point failure... fills missed to the exact tick each time. Trade #1 short stopped at 0 Trade #2 short (past 1:00pm) stopped at -1pt Trade #3 long stopped -1pt Missing fills in the morning made/broke the day's results. Last two sessions have been power moves inside first hour, then coil & slam patterns for the duration. All or nothing extremes in the tape right now... either catch the fleeting entries ahead of surge moves or miss out. Simple as that :>) Best Trading Wishes [Edit] six minutes after last -1pt stop was hit, ES explodes on buy programs. Now up +9pts from entry and soaring. It's all about holding into program slams these days. FOMC minutes at 2:00pm tomorrow... same probable pattern
churned and had 2 stops hit .1pt away from reversal pt. on er2. Counter trend traded and did poorly today. still green though. $50
-52.60 8400 Shares I became frustrated early by being shaken out of eventual big movers. I then churned and churned until I was down 225. Then I got some good movers in the rally and made back most of my money. I would like to be positive, but I'm much happier than I was 2 hours ago. Too bad I only have good runs of 100-200 bux when I'm making back lost money. Obviously, I have some pschological barriers to deal with.
missed the last two trading days so i'm okay with today as i was a little foggy. 4 day benders get tougher with age. who knew no blotter, see above. Net 630
Here. Have to remember that you need to be in front of your computer when the market runs close to 10pts. LOL!
