Here you go Inkydinkydoo, a short moment just for you as your beloved 6S is finding trouble at yesterday's 9540 high. Sell it, put a stop above the 9543 high, and fuhgettaboutit.




First try had a good start but good starts don't always finish that way and I was stopped for a 7 tick loss (short at 9537 out at 9544) and the second and final try at this level is short at 9548 with a stop at 9554. I'm looking for a 40 tick profit.

Another very promising start that meets with a bad end. Sometimes a breakout really is a breakout. Two tries for a combined loss of 13 ticks and commissions. I'll try your 6S again next week, Inky.

Today...

+.0125 Soybeans

+.60 TF (miniRussell2000)

Notes:

Done with trading for today (been done since 9:35am CST)...THIS is where I get in trouble if I go for more...done for today, gotta protect my profits, even if a little over $100.00

*encouraged as did not just jump in many TF trades...trying to be more disciplined.

*good way to start April trading...already looking forward to Monday's trading...

I'm glad you heard us! You thought about selling it because you wanted to "get back" what you missed. I assure you that kind of chasing never ends well!
