Thanks. I think you are right

covered 1/2 remainder @ 9524, that goes down as a -30. looks like the NoiseBox will be getting out of this alive, lol.

damir00 · Sep 17, 2003

all out @ 9520. the chipping paid off, NoiseBox got out of this intact.

edit: that one was a -53.

Covered one short at 9511, +16. Underwater a lot on the other.

What is your tally for the day? You had a lot of good little trades in there.

If I hadn't exited earlier, my profit target +6 would have been met now (ES at 1023). A lesson for not sticking with the plan.

not sure, right around breakeven from the post-FOMC shorts. could've been a whole lot worse. i also should have held that last batch longer.

Too bad, you shorted pretty much at the top. Your humanity got in the way maybe.

had a stoke of luck. Shorted 5 ES @ 1024-75 went for walk , just came back and target was hit @ 1023-25

It'd be great if I could turn my emotions OFF during trading.
