Yeah, you're right about arrogance. The Trading Gods don't like it.Quote from DonCorleone:
i know, right? arrogance will destroy a trader w/ no mercy in this mkt.
sorry for a bit of pompous attitude this morning. had a great overnight trade. i was up a little late last night so i figured i might as well check out the mkt. bought in at 84.11 and went to bed. woke up and took profit at 86.50.![]()

it helps to have a cushion like that for a small time trader like me.
Glad you did so well overnight. Nice. There's a lot of charge in the market now obviously. This is not the summer doldrums. I think this can be hard to swing trade as who knows what's next? I'd take any 100 tick + profit while it's there. But hey, I took a 41 tick profit and left 35 or more on the table 3 min. later. But I'm up about $1000 for the day and got here late and really haven't been trading the last hour. So it's fine.
