  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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?
