Started trading around 6:45 AM PST, trades sparadically as had many other things going on (personal, not related to trading). Stopped trading around 12:45 PM PST - 30 min before closing as no trades were setting up.
Total trades: 10
Winnings: 7
Losing: 2
Breakeven: 1 (by accident got execuited when moving the stop)
+$230 for day - less $50 commission, I guess net $180.
Account blance $3,825
Feb P/L (-1,175)
This is it for now, just focusing on high probability trades, keep repeating to myself <b>"I don't have to take every single trade, it's OK to skip trades. Market will reward patience and disciple but punish for lack of it."</b>

Was placing only limit orders, not a signle market orders. With market swining like crazy market orders getting worset fills.
It seemed to me today' YM 89-tick range anywhere from 4-10 ticks. That's vrey volatile to take out my 10pt stops.

I will start trading 2 contacts next week, just need to polish the strategy a bit.
Trading real money...very real. Losses real too
Yes, RTH
Length in trade depends...if it's a runner I'll stay until it runs out of steam.
Prolly about 10 ore more trades per day.
Not sure what you mean by day trading margein.
