honestly, if you really, really know how to trade...you can flip burgers at Wendys...take a :30 minute lunch and fire up your laptop and throw 5-10 ES cars and make really good money at lunch...
or...trade currency futures before you go to work...
done with trading for today...good to finish the day 'in the green $$'...learning something, some of my worst trading is after 11:30am EST...hmm...gonna try and be done trading by 11:00am EST each day...
I soooooo bad wanted to go short Corn at 3.7700 (note scribble on chart) but DID not...a good thing :)
okay...why would have you not gone short here?...or would have you?...

just made another 3 points in the CME globex Euro...6 Euro points in total today profit...thankful!!!..both were sell trades (will try to post the chart later....)
learning somethings...here is where I've lost before...have a first win on the day...then...trade without real plan and lose the profit and more...trying to exercise self-control to not just 'have to trade'...got the 20 EMA up...noting this
just made 3 points on a sell CME Globex Euro futures trade...!!..but, of course, did not hold it long enough and could have made more profit!...but, coming off of yesterdays hard day...this is very encouraging
7 roundtrips...on 2 different contracts...FYI...aint no newbie here...I have traded couple hundred futures contracts over the years...this is just a 'new beginning' for me..
probably the biggest trading mistake I always make is OVER trading and REVENGE trading!!!...should have stopped at the 1.1 Gold loss and be...'done'...but no...!!!...yea, jumped in too late because frustrated missed out on about 3 other trades that would have been winners!!!
just took a hard 1.1 point loss trading Comex Gold...very hard...especially since I 'coulda shoulda' took 2 other trades on Gold and Crude that would have been profitable...hard loss
