Yeah, I was long from 430. I just got a little too impulsive and took a trade without waiting for my usual setups. And I still didn't get out when it got around to my BEP and had a small profit on it for a short while. I got too greedy and kept it and I am still yet again holding onto a loser.
It really didn't want to go up, and came back down pretty hard. Most likely we'll see 440 again before 510.
The trade was good for 10 ticks, but I was looking for a pull back to 450 and greed got the better hand of me tha time.
That 470 trade was an ordeal... I cannot believe I came out alive from that one. That was a close call... I need to quit putting myself in dangerous situations. Out with a profit of +$370
Glad you made some money, but why don't you use stops ? I was stopped out at 490 , but I was not stuck in the trade and was able to make 4 trades since then to make up for my bad one.
lol.. I had a stop, but I moved it. I did get out of that trade a little faster though. I only left around 25 points in there. Up +$1000 on a extremely horrible day of trading, thus who is complaining?
