- Manage to control my avg down behavior, today cut loss those not performing, seems smaller losses
- whipsawed by aapl and aig, pru, buy and cut loss them few times, really have enough of aig, and should not trade aapl since no signal given
- Commodity stocks are scary

Today's issues:
o Dumb trade at the open. When there's a really clear PA signal, then the first minute or two are ok to trade for me, but without that, it's just noise.
o Hesitated on the best signal of the day.
o Bailed out of several sound trades with 1 tick profit.
Day-by-day March results attached.

Just 2 early trades, done in the first hour. POT was gapped up in pre-market, so I was looking for gap-n-go or gap-n-crap. It was gap-n-crap, so took an early short entry off the lower high and caught the down move. Then shorted the 3rd lower high when price failed to break thru the 20-bar MA with any conviction.
Stayed up late watching movie, then a stereo turned on middle of the night for no reason, and I forgot to have my morning caffeine. I actually fell asleep at my desk after the POT trades. I guess POT can make you pretty sleepy
Later on, I got a proper chart installed for CL and been messing around with it ever since. Maybe without the price lag I'll get the balls to trade live.
