I am upset. I went totally back to my old system. Gambled in the morning heavily. Had at one time 48 contracts on the table and that was pre market. Thank heavens I got lucky and it was pure luck I was not raped this morning. Once I unloaded the big position I tried going back to my plan and was shaken out of couple of trades. Took about $600 in losses. I am calling it a day, too much emotions at play at this moment. Maybe will re visit after 1:00PM.
End result = 18.5K - but this time I did not deserve even one cent of it. Pure luck!
I hate when I trade like this.
Enjoy the weekend guys! :(

I'm glad that the mkt turned up this morning......how much were you down yesterday and premkt this morning?
 
My account dipped to - 22K at its lowest and I was ready to puke. Believe it or not I had some orders on the DOM that I forgot to cancel and when I woke up I was in for 12 contracts. Down around 19K, I was not happy to say the least. I had the feeling the market would dip because of the Senate refusal to fork over $$$$ to the big three. What I did not know was that I had some orders triggered. I almost puked when I opened my account. Brought back memories of olden days.


There is nothing like rookie mistakes. However If I have to make them it would be nice to do it with less cars and certainly smaller negative numbers.

I almost had a h. attack!

If I was in your shoes, no doubt i would've smoked a whole pack of cigarettes overnite lol. what counts is that you're up 18.5k. well done.
 
Saxon, very sorry to hear about the +18.5K you made. :(

-9.00 for me. Would have been a positive day, but I accidently went long SPY instead of short on the first test of yesterday's low.

Next week is a better week. :cool:
