  6. Closing up shop a bit early today.

    The morning started with a couple of nice scalps, but then turned ugly as I got diced up and pureed (sorry been watching those cooking shows lol). When all was said and done, I was down about 280 by the first hour. Once I got my first large winner(12handles) it was on and we were off to the races. I've cut back on my trading recently but today I floored the accelerator.

  9. Today. Main mistakes today were taking trades in chop, and not holding the winners. Sound familiar?:eek:

  10. So the last short i exited too soon ran another 30 pts in less than 15 minutes

    good news is i held longer than normal and i'm beginning to see things that will help me stay in next time. in theory anyway, right ?
