I worked from home today, so I decided to day trade again... the first spread trade made $$$... I decided to enter again around 11AM EST... by 11:15AM I knew I was wrong when US found support... but I decided to give the trade "time to develop"... I am an idiot, that never works.. I was on the trade for too long, got bored... poked at 10s and corn... I got churned a bit... oh well, I have to remember my rules if I am going to day trade again... in any event, I am done for the day given the account has a hard $750 loss limit for the day...
lol can anyone even verify their profits? show us the money already. anyone can doctor up a screenshot or edit the web HTML. there is no motive to postings like this except to attract attention.

It was a tough day for me. I still need to clarify and work on my exits. I am being inconsistent in my exits which is causing some frustrations. I will work on making my exit rules clearer, so I can just push the button when I'm supposed to instead of thinking too much. Today, I trailed too tight on a good one and was knocked out before the big move. On another, I let it be loose and let a decent move come all the way back to my initial stop. -25
Apart from my $17 in the post earlier this morning, here are my totals. I took one AMZN trade, I really missed riding the trend down BUT still made a profit so who cares! Woulda, coulda, shoulda doesn't make any money. On a side note, although I thought I was entering off a good setup, my chart got disconnected somehow and when I looked at it I saw a setup I liked and took the trade only to realize my chart hadn't updated properly. So I kind of missed the move. But my stop wasn't hit and another setup formed in my favor so I held for a little bit. Once it got a few hundred in my favor I closed out the position.
