no blotter... par finish before noon for today
Holly & I have an open door policy for most of the kids in our town. If they have issues at home or need a refuge for any reason, can stop here day or night. We seldom have any takers, but at least they know in their minds there is a haven when needed.
Two of our close friends are in the midst of a messy divorce. Their teens got caught up in that drama last night, and showed up on our doorstep here as instructed. I got too little sleep, and simply couldn't muster any focus today.
If the tapes had been smooth & clean to trade, I would have made money. If I were rested and focused inside of today's very noisy tapes, I might have made money. But tired and unfocused coupled with tough tapes = no chance for success.
My ES trades went 0pts, -2pts, -2pts, +4pts, 0pts as v-turn pullbacks kept whacking me out. I felt the frustration and anger building due to fatigue, so shut it down before something stupid happened.
Sometimes it's the market, sometimes it is us. Today it was both for me. I'm sure tomorrow will see active tapes again, so we'll go from there.
