Took a wild beating from the AMLN straddle that I took home on Friday (~ -7800). In retrospect that position was way too big relative to my other regular trades. I got greedy due to the recent action in ITMN.

Couldn't trade the golden first 90 minutes.
In the PM session, after shorting the strong uptrend (doh!), I decided to look for longs (what a concept), and got out of the hole.

Daily summary attached.

 

-16
could be worse.

 

+142 (-135 loss in others)

- did small size avg down, but still shld not avg down, shld cut from the start, cause waste time watching nonperforming one
- must remain small number of positions and stay focus and active

 

+70 in ES

Trading in the pre-fomc doldrums. Was impatient and moved an entry limit order up for a quick fill, which resulted in a stopout to the tick on an otherwise winning trade.

Family stuff, so traded the opening hour only for the day.

Day-by-day March results attached.
