My luck ran out, I was being stupid, why I can't just call it a day, losses after losses now and giving it all back (+$217 left). I honestly say that I'm not ready for this, I will try to finish up the combine but I will take a break from any kind of trading after, this is me being stupid and greedy...can't believe what I've done.
Entered the challenge...I found my journal a bit amateurish compare to the others. oh well. I had to drive to the mining site this morning, so did a tick scalp on ZB and had couple more quick scalps at the site. They just did a blast at the quarry and the building that I'm in now shaking...pretty scary lol.
Anyway, here's some pic of the trades that I took and another pic I took when stopping at the rest area on the road...will be driving back to Salt Lake in an hour or so.
Yes it's still summer and it's salt on the ground...not snow
Happy Holiday to the guys that celebrating it. Woke up to see that ES and treasuries are dead, so decided to go to CL to scalp here and there. Took a bit of heat on the last trade, probably wasn't a great scalp trade location. Oh well, going back to bed now.
God of gambler took pity on me. I was caught offside for 13 ticks on ZB, but somehow took it back little by little. It's definitely something that needs to be improved on. The old sickness of being hard headed not to just close the position for a smaller loss almost took me out today. I know it will bite my ass in the near future if I don't take drastic change to improve on this department.
OK, calling it a day. Waiting for those ticks to move driving me crazy today. Had early loses on ZB, but I feel better managing the position and was able to turn it around. Overall did ok.
Well, my MES combine is done. Didn't make it and have to wait another a year for it. I believe I grow as a day trader and I found something while doing the MES combine and I will try to work more on that finding. Thinking hard about it, I'm not just yet ready and it shows, but I'm not done yet...will try to keep at it and I know I will get better one of these days
So now back to regular SIM and preparing for another TST combine ideally 3rd/4th week of this month or early next month.
Today wasn't that bad, had some loses but I keep reminding myself to keep the losses small.
