(I started better today, actually placing 4 orders in the first 90 minutes: three longs [not filled, not filled, filled but managed to cancel my stop, so I closed it]; and a short right after the Consumer Confidence report - this one I placed about 4-5 ticks away from the ask to account for the increased volatility and whipsaws, the longs were all at the best bid at the moment, but the market slipped away, which happens to me every once in a while, but not so often. When it couldn't break .60 to the downside looked for longs, but got a bit discouraged and went back to freezing in the headlights... tomorrow's another day)
 
Quote from NoDoji:

I've never watched TS, but have depth on my DOM and if anyone can see the Virgin Mary in a tortilla it would me and from what I've seen there's nothing there to be found that the price action itself isn't already showing you.

I didn't find Virgin Mary either even though my eyes were alert :)

Best day so far...
Net = + 900
total trades = 11 ( I had an headache fighting with myself not to over trade , I hope I can follow this everyday )
still having a bad headache, today I realized how stressful trading can be.

Todays points:
1) Did not dare to catch the free falling knife. ( yesterdays mistake ) , that saved alot of bad trades and loss.
2) 50% of BO trades were handled correctly. ( still need to work on it )
