mid trade of econ rept ...seems like the first win in a long time!

Cool NoD... Trade of premrkt econ repts... Bracket set at buy stop 1283.75 sell stop 1282 O/N trading range was about 3 pts, and 5 min bar prior hovering around 1283.25 so tgt stop limit 1286 tgt buy limit 1280.50 In short 1.5 pts

Hard to leave when it's moving so nicely, but have a huge job to do and then the airport. Sure doesn't look like it will retrace towards the O/N low... I'll see this evening. Besides, I'm still on my "Flu affect minimal trading schedule!" This evening is my last trading class for awhile...

8:02 out at BE .... have to read NoD's post fast to see what to do now :eek: I'm only part way thru! 8:23 Opps, I was one 5 min bar to slow... would have gotten in at 1278.25 having read Nods above post See if it goes to 1280.25, which would be similar to yesterday... the patterns look...

opps have to read in a min bracket at open in short stop at 1279.25 tgt 2 pts, 1276 If I'm here (!), might move stop to BE and let it run.... if goes that way. Moved my stop to BE... might fail, but seems possible for it to test the O/N low ...of course if it does like...

Hi Nodoji, that was my intention, but I missed it. Wound up doing the Geez thing. Which I"m coming to the conclusion is not be the best strategy for trading ES?

out 1272 -1.5 ~9:00

The cognitive training program helped clairify some of my experiences and observations... like, it's common to experience having the equivalent of vary little 'ram' memory. So I can be a fast study one day and then seemingly not have access to those memories the next! Because new information...

Yes, that's where I was. ...I lost my alertness for taking a small loss and switching sides. So sad to hear about Gabrielle Giffords. Having lived in Tucson I've been at that intersection many times. Hope and pray she lives and has minimal lingering brain injury issues. She is such a...

I've done that reversal thing before. Just wasn't with it today. Maybe it was the flu? Oh, that's not mocking. Appreciate hearing it with constructive advice. Thanks jokepie, you are exactly right. Have heard about it tracking the EUR, will have to look at that...

Homework after-the-fact analysis for class.... I actually had looked at this early on in the day, and it kind of did it.

Don't even look at my thread today! You are doing great:D

OH! And I may not trade Monday... maybe just the open? will be in Phx most of the day. Not quiting after one day of losses:eek:

I was thinking that too when I woke up this AM, how easy it is to not see that another trade, and another will just keep coming along. Then proceeded to make some versions of same errors. Guess I paid for the error... breath it in deep (vs denial). What you say helps. Thanks Specterx...

Have to write that in my book! I think I made the same error today... have to stub my toe a time or two more than most, but I do learn. At least, I hope I do!

Well, yes I thought about it.... just didn't act on it!

OH that was interesting... lost 6 pts. Have to drop off the ferrari keys and get back in the VW bug to start making those up!

long 1272.5 8:33 edit/// love to blame this on the flu, but that's not the reason...

It's sure not easy, had a -2 pts today in one trade. We did about as well as each other. Looked at what turned into the 8 pt drop, and said out loud that I should short there, but just didn't. I was just a little late, then didn't get in. Next time...
