felt very nervous since my account became a tiny account (4.5k), traded miny sweet crude. I saw the morning 80.9 thrust setup, did not take it. one reason is my son woke up just around that time, he needs my attention, then I need clothe him/feed him, sent him to daycare, man, the most critical reason is I am nervous (I should not be nevous about it, put a stop loss there, then wait for the profit trarget get hit, I could not face tiny loss) , when I was back to sit down before the creen, crude is around 81.8ish, then shorted it at 81.875, overshoot to 82, covered it with minor profit, then shorted it at 82.05(man, the exact top), toke out with mnior profit (my target is 81.5, that is the breakout place or support).
then it dropped to 81.4under, felt that is a buy, bought it at 81.4 (target is 81.65+), did not hold, get out with 8dollars gain.
it seems when the account size is too small, a little tease will knock me out. my allowed daily maximum loss is down to $250, profit expectation is down to $100 to $500
hope better tomorrow

, limiting myself in size and trades, but i do feel it is helping a lot, the winning days are not big but there aren't really any losing days, if there are they are real small or even-470
-160 (additional loss of -$25)

Traded in and out a lot today because the price action felt choppy to me, taking profits quickly as presented.
I officially declare X a POS to trade. Too many times stops are lifted without price appearing to go anywhere near the stop level. It's like a mysterious tentacle reaches out, removes you from the trade, then continues your way without you. I've had this happen before with X, and decided at exactly 11:58 EST today to remove X from my list of pet stocks to trade.
I had a very nice day in CL sim, 3 trades, one breakout long, one scratch and one short off a lower high, +$717.
