Feeling like a real moron, but short once more 909.25

Last trade!

Out 904.75.

WTF All day long, whenever I would take my profit it would shoot past the target. Now that I let it rip, it reverses right at the damn target!

Can you elaborate a bit about why you called it a classic? Thanks.

Short 907.25

So where to now? It's 50/50 at this point. I could see the final push up to 950 as my broken crystal ball originally predicted. But the wimp in me sez that ending the day on a dragonfly doji following the red candle yesterday bodes ill for tomorrow.

Either way, it's a toss-up. If we break out, 925 is in play; if we break down, 870 is the likely target.

Quote from saliva:

No worries. It's cool with me.

I use a metric to measure myself on a daily basis. I add up all the points that I raked in and divide by the daily range (DR) of ES. Anything above 90% DR is A, >80 is B, etc. A day like today is, well, F.

Obviously it varies by the day. Some days I make in excess of 20. Anything above 20 I consider it a good day.

One question: are the percentages calculated on a 1-contract basis?

If yes, taking over 90% of daily range on a 1-contract basis is a hell of a job.
