Being that it is Friday and almost the afternoon (EST) I am going to be content and call it a day. Very frustrating week with lots of late starts and interruptions. Hopefully, next week I can be a little more detailed in this journal and be a more stable trader. My wife, Patti starts teaching at her school next week which will be nice "trading wise" but I will miss her being at home also.

New week means a fresh start. Took my first entry on MGC a little bit ago. A long at 1815. Initial stop was 12.8. However, I didn't want to see price break the 14.9 level and it did. So I closed the trade for +4. Price did move in the direction of my initial target of 1820 but I don't expect it to keep going. Let me look and get a picture maybe it will have moved some more by now.



I am glad that I closed the trade!

My second trade (a short) missed filling by 1 tick and then dropped as expected.

So bummed - Price has already dropped more than 70 ticks. At least I was on the right side of things and had the right idea.
