  2. YTD is probably about +250%, given that AEN was at 1.56 on friday, when my YTD gains were at +216%.

    +409 in ES. Traded first 2 hours.

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

    Today's issues:

    o One emotional trade, the only full stopout today.
    o After up 300 or so, chickened out on several good trades.
    o As usual, one trade had big target likelyhood & I cut it short.

    Day-by-day March results attached.

    Holy cow, mtnrnr! You're a sniper! You took more than the daily range!

    + $408

    Saw CL moving in to test the 81.45 high on strong buying pressure, was about to place a buy stop at 81.46 and suddenly realized that I’ve only traded CL breakouts in sim, so I wondered about possible slippage in the live account and in the time it took me to wonder, it broke out over 50 ticks before even taking a breath. EON pointed out to me I should’ve entered just before the .46 stops were triggered. I’ve been doing that with stocks, makes sense.

    Shorted ES twice on lower highs after some serious whack-a-mole action at the top, but stopped out b/e both times when there was no more than 4-6 ticks follow through to the down side.

    Short AMZN pullback from 2nd lower high, covered on pivot off oversold, nice move.

    Shorted POT off a lower high, stopped out absolutely b/e. (And of course later after its narrow trading range caused me to look away in disgust, the freakin’ thing broke down.)

    My trading PC froze up totally and after restarting nothing really took my breath away.

    Forgot to add: Gambler - w00t!!!!

  8. Thanks, Nodoji, I am very happy with that, of course, but took on lots of risk for that position.
