    +331 in ES

    Opening read--Daily: up Hourly: up Intraday: up

    Today's issues:

    o Kept shorting into support & hesitated on the 1 good short.
    o Zero % on shorts! Is it any wonder given the opening read ...
    o Forcing trades, dead market, quit after 90 minutes.

    Day-by-day March results attached.

    This was a spectacular week for me. It's rare that I make this much in a week. But, I'll take it where I can get it.

  9. -500 (-100 from other losses)

    - give back large part of yesterday gain
    - made a few mistakes:
    - trying to catch the bottom for DIS and X, disastrous result
    - size 600 for X size 1000 for DIS, whipsawed few times buy and cut loss resulted in this loss, from +250 down very quickly to -500
    - took revenge resulted in larger size than my normal

    POT opened oversold after yesterday’s selloff, so I looked for long entry. Saw the HL and entered just before the test of previous R, caught a beautiful b/o, but left a lot on the table exiting on the initial pause.

    Then I overtraded POT back and forth, try to create something where there was nothing and giving IB $16 commish to net about $6. At least I was trading small. I knew the kind of trouble this leads to and so I decided to stop trading live and get over my issues with CL sim vs CL live by putting on a couple sim trades at places I never would, with wide stops, just to prove to myself that I’m good at trading it even with poor entries, and sure enough made $289 simbucks on 2 trades with 1 lot.

    Later shorted POT off the LH, regular size, caught a great move.

    After a strong move down, ES tried to find support, then suddenly had that “I’m gonna puke” look to it and I shorted just below 1160 and scalped 2.5 pts, but was really hoping for a quick break below 1155.

    Ready to short POT once more late in the day and it dropped over 20 ticks before I could react.

    Goal Monday: Trade CL :D
