    ES Daytrading: "only 1 trade per day" or "1st trade a loss, rest of day a loss"

    yea...I never dealt with this when swingtrading the QQQQ options etc...the deal is because I trade with low daytrade margins...must exit that day...so...cannot forever endure the drawdown or not acknowledge it as the "trading day will end" and here comes OVERNIGHT MARGIN!!!

    do you do this?...is this an actual strategy employed by you for end of the day trades?...do you find that the end of the day "mirrors" the earlier part of the day?

    okay...coming into a day afresh...you do not have the "hurt"of losing already...so, you perception is better...get your focus going and throw 10-50 cars at the ES and net 2-5 points...that is serious $$$...the issue is "crystal clear" focus on one trade rather then 'multible' trades after your...

    I am thinking about going short in the YM late today 03.22.07

    ...believe it or not, it helped me moving from a YM 2hr 1minute chart to a YM 24 hour 10 minute chart...the 1 minute chart was too "hyper" for me and made me exit and enter on wrong notes...the 24/10 helps me "see better"
