Traded with focus this AM, was up 140+ by noon, had a solid trade after lunch, then started trading as if the profits weren't booked yet... lessons learned
Traded like crazy small size, testing many entry and exit strategies. Only two errors today and I figured out the two things I was doing wrong with IB's DOM. By mid-day I was able to comfortably manage 3 trades and that will remain my max for now.
-1000 in less than 5 minutes trading the 6E. I ALWAYS lose money trading the Euro. I would be a great contrarian indicator. But this loss was offset by gains in other markets that I kinda actually know how to trade, so all is well.
I stubbed my toe, I had something in my left eye and couldn't see out of my right eye. Everything happened as soon as I left my desk, and when it didn't I couldn't figure out my DOM. Then I made a couple fat finger errors and my dog ate my mouse. Luckily, the better half made 10k
