Anybody else observe the "fakeout" at around 11:45 est? Noted that the ES was really accelerating but the DOW was dozin', so I held off. It was nice being right. Sometimes not losing is almost like winning.
Quote from Buy1Sell2:
An individual in your position needs to seriously look at not doing any daytrading at all. Take position trades only and hold them for days/weeks. When you are trying to cram your trading down to a time that is convenient for you and not for the market, you are setting yourself up to lose. Just as in a marriage, you must spend sufficient time or a divorce will ensue. As you force trades and don't spend the time needed, the market will divorce you.

One further item that I wanted to mention to Captain Obvious--You also run the risk of thinking about the markets and what daytrades that you may be missing while you are at work. My thought is that your job performance may suffer due to this distraction and you may end up with trouble on two fronts. Three if you count the wife--
