Just for grins, I set up my chart to this specfication and took that last short off the ER contract
Trading 10 contracts and scaling out...
As trader28 mentioned, as long as you act like an adult and keep the discipline you will make money when the market trends one way or another.
Short entry at 738...
Bought back 5 at 36.5 for $750...
Bought back 2 at 35.5 for $500..
Bought back 3 at 34 for $1200..
$2450 less about $40 commish
As usual there are a few things you have to do to make money as follows (Ripley are you watching?)
1. Learn the rules
2. Wait for the signal
3. Execute
4. Bet correctly
5. Have enough balls to keep your hands off the mouse while price does what it is going to do.
6. Manage the exits correctly.
7. Rinse/repeat.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program titled "I can't make money, its not fair, I am going to hold my breath"...Ripley's interview on Oprah...
