Today, my afternoon shorting on Nasdaq was a disaster. Shorted and got stopped on Nasdaq 4 times in a row(always a bad experience). Thank God the long trade went well recovering all the damage.

The switch to short was good too but a little slow, from the 5 min chart I should have managed to switch at least 20 points earlier, big regret.

Today I'm +$990 so far.

CRUDE OIL seems to be at a good price for a long trade. 67.37 is current price, stop 66.32, target 68.8.

But I'm not entering this one, only going to observe this one.

Hmm CLX24 just reached target 68.80... could have been an easy extra +$1500, why did I pass on this one?

Do you, or have you considered employing risk management? And I think something that may be beneficial and your approach is to have a stop loss at a point where the trade is no longer viable. Basically lacing your stop loss at a point where if price reaches it then The trade can be said to be not ideal.

Wow, crude oil took a dive yesterday when I was sleeping. If I was awake I would have added 1 contract but too late for that. Long view still stands IMO let's see. -51 ticks now
