Tue 05/06: the ER wiggled all around me yesterday. Was long three times and short seven times total. Tried to hold for distance, got stopped out on deep retracements (long) or bumped out from brief drops with buy-program slams. Net result was -4pts total. Had two chances to finish at breakeven for the day, held loose stops looking for net profits and ended negative. Oh well... there's always tomorrow. You know the drill: double-down on trade size, revenge trade, lose control, break discipline. All the things we've all done before.
... or, we could just keep playing our game. Take the pattern signals, hold stops, cut losses short and let profits run. Trading really is just a numbers game with patience and discipline applied to a mathematical edge. Not shown here was long ES 1417 for par, short 1417 for par, short 1415 = covered 1411 and short 1410 = covered 1408. Spank you very much ER2... pleasure doing business with you today. Done early, shut down and out to play in the sun.
I still have the covered UAUA open thats underwater. + 2094 for the day + 3942 for the week + 5881 for the month + 44845 for the year
