small timer's 1-10 lot live ES video journal

[small_timer]

First live trade of the day was a long 1 ES @ 1609.50 and an add @ 1608.50, sold at 1610 and 1610.50. Not a very good trade, sat through 3 points of heat with a 10pt stop. Was also in the trade over an hour, had to cut video for time.

7/02/13 - p/l +709
7/03/13 - p/l -355 Note to self: do not trade after hours with no stop, gambled that the market would drift up at euro open like it's been doing. With Portugal bonds rising, Egypt instability, Euro/Asian markets down pretty big. Would have been a profitable day without this error.
