After I entered at 1525.5, it made it all the way to 31X31.5, at which point I felt like bashing my head in. However, no contracts traded at 31.5, so that was a consolation.

BOT 1521.5 CLOSE 15:11:06 Normally I would just hold onto this trade, but I have a feeling that there will be a gap up in the after hours session.

SLD 1525.5 CLOSE 13:17:55 Tuesday, January 27, 2004 Trade 4 SLD 1525.5 OPEN 13:17:55 I am feeling really beaten down right now. Almost to the the breaking point. I thought for sure that I would be able to get 1531.5, but I finally gave up. If this trade doesn't work it will break me...

The pain I feel is overwhelming. I got killed yesterday and then today it ends up coming all the way back and then some. I exited Trade 2 at 1535 luckily enough. I then went long again at 1530.5 which wasn't the greatest idea. I am fighting the tape because deep down I gave up on going...

Reversals are definitely advanced. I have found that they work most effectively when the trade is just starting out and you realize you have made a mistake, or if you find in a strong trend against you, and in both cases I use them only for recouping losses. Reversing winning trades can work...

Yes, I have. The last hour and a half on Friday afternoon has burned me many a time. I tend to be goal oriented and sometimes I'm just shy for the week and trying to make it up. So there are a confluence of negative factors. On Tuesdays I've found that it pays to be patient for entries and...

I got stung for 20 points on the short side today. I think that the main problem was that by holding over the weekend I lost my objectivity, which caused me to slip into spectator mode. Also, I wasn't mentally prepared to execute a contingency plan. I suppose I could write some long and...

The market just penetrated 1530.5. What a way to end the week.

This is the plan.

SLD 1524 OPEN 13:56:11 I think I have just ruined my day.

SLD 1524 CLOSE 13:56:11 What a fiasco!

BOT 1530 OPEN 13:43:16 I think I might have gotten carried away with this.

BOT 1525 CLOSE 13:26:53 I'm starting to grow extremely risk averse.

SLD 1525.5 OPEN 13:06:47 We'll see about this one. I gave up waiting, and decided I should just go with the tape. I'll probably give this about 10-15 minutes.

BOT 1529 CLOSE 12:28:57 Now I'm going to wait for awhile.

SLD 1530 OPEN 12:26:51 Not the best idea. I've put an order in for 1529. At this point, I think that the tape is definitely pointing down. However, I also feel that there is probably a better short entry out there, therefore I'm conflicted as to what to do.

BOT 1530 CLOSE 11:47:51 I felt like this was good enough for now. I don't want to over extend myself at this time.
