trade the next day. but I'm trying not to have 'really hard losing days' by having tight stop losses all the time and i'm also trying to figure out my max loss for the day after which I just stop trading and walk away.

1310.58 was the close, we touched 1311.74, so we didn't completely close it on the cash either. I use 4pm close ES. I think I just need to redefine gap closed within 1 point.

long 3@16.5, stop@15.5 ->aapl is recovering dragging nq up and the rest. plus 1-2-3 bounce of daily vwap for es. covered @16.75. messy price action. taking a break now.

out @15.25 for +1 PA is a mess. Need to be careful here. something going on with AAPL is affecting NQ

NQ is leading to the downside in volume, es and ym are not moving :(

stop moved to 16.5 on my short. Price seems to be stuck, but we have a series of LH.

closed at @16.25 and reversed short 3@ 16.25, stop 17.5 ->NQ is leading on the way down. ES PP rejected. YM is trying to hold 1200 though.

out @ 16 -.5 was a bit early, then reentered: back in @16.75, stop 15.5

long 3 @ 16.5 stop 15.25 -> bounce of DMA

covered at b/e $tick is still above 200 and YM didn't fill it's gap, may be another push higher to test YH or lunch hour congestion. anyway, taking a break for now. I'm getting too trigger happy. Need to walk away from the screen for a fresh view of the events even if it means missing a trade...

OK, another frustrating day, I was expecting the gap fill, but didn't execute it properly because of fear of loosing money and probably sight short (bias that I need to get rid of) sell 3@18, stop 19.5 -> gap closed, 1-2-3 sell of YC

sell 3@15, was impulsive trade for the fear of not missing the move, covered @16 -1 point for the lack of discipline. :(

out @15.00 >> buyers on lunch-> no volume, no TICK, choppy price action.

I saw buying came in earlier than my target, but was slow to react and hesitated to buy @1310 because of my expectations. I should have reduced my size and bought when I saw strong buying. now market is in congestion. fight between the sellers and dip buyers. The buyers won this morning...

the train have left without me again. 1 point from being filled :( very frustrating. Not going to chase it now or fade it until I see a set up.

you are welcome :p

order to buy @ 7.5, stop @6.5 waiting.

out another @13, and one more @12, no strong buying yet. we just may fill the gap below first. Waiting for now.

sell 1@13.25 - want to protect some profits for the first trade of the day. move stop to 11.5 for the rest Es is stronger this morning, NQ and YM are lagging.

long 3@11.5, stop @9.75 I got my 1310 after all, only after hours. which gap are we going to fill today? 1307 is so close. but there is no selling again this morning.
