  3. You seem to be a pretty decent scalper. i suspect you would rather be not, but that's your nature at present, and it's working for you. day's like today are an exception for you from what i've seen. Don't be too hard on yourself.

  4. I scratch alot of trades which can get costly very quickly. But if I get a good read on price and I stay on the right side I usually make back any losses plus some. If I'm scalping for 3 to 4 pts, then I take a lot less trades, but with more precision and small stops.

  7. Instynct is doing a great job in this journal for almost one year already. I remember one of his early posts, he said something like he considers daily P&L just as noise, weekly results are much more relevant.

    So days like this are just a part of the job. Get yourself a nice drink tonight, Instynct, relax and tomorrow is another day ... keep rocking !!!

  8. Roughly -2 today even with a 20 pt winner. I just misread and misplayed early trades.
