Traded like total crap today in the morning and missed a good 2-5k cause im a retard. Picked things up when it got slower and i eeked out a decent enough day. Totally inefficient though, tons of shares and trades and not enough money.
-687.20 on 3200 Dropped a swing trade today. I also started my practice acct back up. That was $33 on 2700. I'm going to build my confidence back (plus some of my capital).
No Trades last thursday through today. Confidence has been built from just watching after being on a mini-vacation in PA (lots of snow), back in VA now. So, will see tomorrow if I make my move.
No trades Monday. +25 Today however that will be negative with commissions. MB Trading had network failure for a second time in a row in the morning. Was up 180 in the morning then was fighting the trend for the rest of the day. The trend is my friend till it ends! Should have been onboard after the 10:30 reversal, DDF +ve, turn around Tuesday, taking out prev high, Globex high and multiday 5min triangle . realised that on a strong AM up move that there is usually a final push after 13:00, also divergence with the ER2 (ER2 weakness around 14:00) or other indices does not always indicate a reversal, seems more true in the morning or on extreme topping action.
I was up in the first 1/2 hr, but OSI took it back and then I went negative. That OSI is and SOB. I got slipped 40 cents on my stop order. Came so close to going positive so many times during the day, but couldn't pull it off. Barely lost anything, but it's two losing days in a row.
Worst day of the month by so far, so stressed all day yelling at the computer. totally FLUKED out and made 800 with about 15 minutes left to go, and that made the total respectible.
