I think I'm just going to go with 'great day' as I'm too tired to think of anything clever. Mr.AngryHermit, every trader gets shit kicked now and then, but you just gotta keep your eyes on your destination and you'll get there eventually. Keep with it, it'll work out.
this is the low point of my 18 month trading career: losing confidence in a trade that i had extreme conviction about because of a post on ET. i NEVER look @ ET when i'm in a trade. i shorted 44 ES @ 3.20pm and short 5 DAX @ 6114.70. my target for both was 3 pionts above low of the day (btw, this is VERY large size for me- i was that confident). like a ass clown, i checked the ES thread 2 c if anyone had posted a chart contrary to my thinking. saw a post from ANEK saying he thinks we're heading up thru the close and..... IT INFLUENCED ME. i bailed @ 1207 and 6107. 30 years investing, and i've never been influenced by anyone on a trade b4. i don't know what it's like to be ass raped in prison, but i imagine that i'd still feel cleaner and more like a man after the experience than i do now. IB's random account updates fucked up the blotter, so this is wrong. was up 9,022 last night and lost 2,100 today. now, you'll have to excuse me, as i traded my balls for a vagina and i'm going to go try to get them back...
steady day .... again traded lightly and conservatively to avoid adding the month's loss ..... happy to hit this profit .... need to keep on hitting this levels til the end of this month to end in the green .... goodluck to all .....
Sorry to hear this but you left out the part where I said as long as previous LOD holds 1205. Either way I got raped on that trade too. Anek
