  2. Today, my afternoon shorting on Nasdaq was a disaster. Shorted and got stopped on Nasdaq 4 times in a row(always a bad experience). Thank God the long trade went well recovering all the damage.

    The switch to short was good too but a little slow, from the 5 min chart I should have managed to switch at least 20 points earlier, big regret.

    Today I'm +$990 so far.

  3. Crude oil seems to be at good place for a long trade. This one I'm passing but just going to observe. Enter price 67.67, stop 66.32, target 68.80, 100 tick plus

  4. Hmm CLX24 just reached target 68.80... could have been an easy extra +$1200, why did I pass on this one?

    China A50 and Hangseng - very massive movement over the past few days.
    It has been moving 24x7,
    during the Asian European and the US session


    But its movement could be very choppy.

    I remember years ago, Natural Gas also behaved in a similar manner.
    Unfortunately, it was not tradable because of very heavy traffic (chart freeze, trading platform freeze).

  10. Okay I'm into day7 of this journal. So far I'm +$7,406.25

    After $10,000 I should be able to maintain myself above zero unless I exaggerate with the number of contracts.
