I agree that today is a very tough day for ES. Down 6 ES points today. Stopped out a couple of times by one or two ticks. It's tough to have the small stop (2.5 points) hold in such a crazy day.
-8k Took the day off to go fishing, got home early and had 2 hours to trade. Lesson learned = I didn't trade, I gambled. Had absolutely no feel for what was going on and just jumped in with size stupid. Was heading into the weekend +8k, LOL, 4 days work gone in 2 hours. Caught a lot of fish anyway Still having an above average month - taking a break.
Thurs: Had a gain initially, only for it to swing sharply on me and turn into a loss. Down around $500. Held SDS overnight. Fri: Made back the loss from Thurs, but only finished the day +50. I'm thinking that I might switch my focus to more swing/position trading and a bit less on day trading - we'll see.
-$87.50..........poor performance today.....missed several trades....that were winners.....will do better tomorrow !
+1770 +175 Didn't daytrade futures today, tried to build a swing trade position in ZN (only holding 1 short). I won't be trading stocks tomorrow.
I spent more time looking for a good newsfeed than anything else today. Other than keeping myself busy waiting for the next setup it was a good day. i also went over a million shares for the month. Seems like that may be more and more common for me. + 1141 for the day / week + 28372 for the month
