Okay day. Didn't make much money.
I'm up $85 on four trades. I missed the big rally at the open b/c I hesitated to take any risks. Tried to do a short, got close to the top but wasn't close enough. Exited near break-even no matter what. Then I had a trade around 9:00. Didn't know there was news coming out b/c Yahoo didn't mention it in their economic calendar. Was lucky I had a stop order, otherwise who knows. Last trade was the big winner where I made all my profits. I will post a chart of it in a little bit.

Frustrating day.
I'm down $85 on nine trades. I was long all morning, but kept getting stopped out multiple times. Many of those trade were stopped out near lows of a pullbacks only to see the continue in my direction for big gains. One was even at an exact low which I suspect was caused by bots. To add to the frustration, many of those trades had good profits from $50 to $150 that evaporated. Very difficult to trade when your stops are so tight. I believe my performance would be much better if I could just loosen them up.
What I should have done today was scalp instead of holding on for a big move. Discipline was what kept me from losing a lot more. I'm becoming more comfortable and getting better at taking my entries. That was the only good thing about today. I'll just have to keep trying until I get that big hit.
Time to relax and play some more video games. I'm almost finish with the one I'm playing right now. Tomorrow is another day.

Great day. I finally got my big hit.
I'm up $240 on seven trades. A 30% profit in one day. Last night I looked over my trading this week and saw I was making mistakes I shouldn't be doing. I almost went short in the early morning, but staying disciplined I recognized I should be going long. Going short would be too risky based on my system. I was being greedy, I decided the risk wasn't worth it. Most of my profits were made on one trade at the open. I will post a chart of it in a little bit. I had two more long orders after that, but kept getting stopped out. It looks like the account will be at an even $1000 after commissions.
I'm done for the day. Have a good weekend everyone.

Here is the chart of my trading today:
The no 27 appears again. We're at page 27 of this thread now. No 27, what does your repeated appearance mean? Are you a sign? Did you bring me good luck today? If so, then I'm grateful.
Or did you intentionally kept me from being profitable until now. Until I've reached page 27 here so that you can show off your power over me? If so, you're an a$$hole.

Nice chart - There's appears to be a method to your madness 
It's nice to see that you are relying on more than numerology. I guess we can expect references to numerology on every page that is a fib number or some other key ratio. How about a little more meat to go with the potatoes and gravy?
It looks like you've checked back in with a certain young ladies journal on ET who's trading the same instrument.

Rough day. What is it with the 27th of each month that gives me bad luck?
I'm down $265 (270?) on fifteen trades. I had a $70 profit with the first trade and should've follow my instinct and left for the day at that. Wasn't very disciplined today. Had a lot of trades that got stopped out that really frustrated me. Then made a lot of risky trades afterward. I was feeling more tired then usually in the morning too which is strange since I had plenty of sleep.
No 27, if this is your doing I'm sorry about what I said about you on Friday. I didn't mean what I said. I didn't mean to blame you. I didn't mean to make you angry towards me. Please come back and give me your guidance. If you want me to grow the account from $660 than so be it. I will do as you command.
Which 'young lady' are you talking about? Matcha? How do you know she is a young woman? Do you know if she's cute also?
