    Choppy markets lost money trying to trade the trend down (got stopped out on all but 1 of my trend trades) but was able to scalp my way to positive profits. Starting to think perhaps I just shouldn't trade expiration week as I spent a decent amount of time today in the red (down 400 at one point).

    +237.5
    -90 comm (18RT)
    +147.5

    I feel so stupid !!!!! i'm such an idiot !!!! was up $490 around 2pm then lost a big chunk of it at PFE was forced to cut at the top cause it squeezed my short. then the stupid uptrend completely reverses and i get caught with a bigger long ..... the BAD thing was i became emotionally disturbed and got into revvenge trading mode... i just hed it until the end and i fucking lost it all and added more to my loss ... ended the day -$200 ....
    hard way to learn a valuable lesson .....

  6. When I have a bad day I always come here to see if it was just me. I can see I was not alone today. What a piss poor market for trading.

  10. Didn't break any records or anything, but I was more discplined and consistent than I was earlier in the week, so I'm patting myself on the back. Only traded 1 mini Nikkei contract at a time, made a total of 5 trades: 3 winners, one loser, one breakeven (would have been a winner but there was a fire alarm and I had to exit early to leave my computer for a few minutes). The commissions on this mini contract are killing me, but I'm not willing to risk more $ while I'm dipping my toes into live trading. Here is tonights result:

    + 3000 yen (~$26.03)
    5 contracts traded

    Total for the week (I don't trade Sunday nights):

    Mon +1600
    Tue +6800
    Wed +200
    Thus +3000
    =
    Total +11600 yen (~$100.65)

    Have a good weekend everyone!
