I'd think twice about that. Since when are you holding overnight? What about Friday's economic reports? I don't think you have an edge for that type of trade.

SLD 1485.5 CLOSE 13:42:22 I wanted more, but I was getting nervous about this one. I'll wait for more confirmation before doing anything else.

At least you used stops. When what you described happened I lifted everything, including my original target. I figured that even if I was wrong, there would still be enough opportunities to make it back to breakeven, and I was just going to give it until 1:30 to play its games.

I'm kind of disappointed in myself. Today should have been my day. I've been waiting for the market to breakdown from 1520 for at least two weeks, and when it finally happened I panicked. I was afraid, plain and simple. I should have known that once it finally broke, the move would be fast...

BOT 1492 OPEN 14:50:53 Going for 1495. Order already sent.

I had a couple of ideas for you. However, I'm not intimately familiar with your methodology, so they may or may not be applicable. First, it seems that your Target 1 has become too large. Today it was 10 points on the first trade and 9 on the second. I think that's unrealistic. Personally...

This journal is starting to get pathetic. I've lost a little under 40 points since Friday afternoon. It seems to me that since last Thursday afternoon, all I have been doing is blindly shorting. It seems that I've abandoned my system and have been completely ignoring the tape. Now if a trade...
