Not something I would recommend but let's say I was prepared. Better stick to one.

The ES and YM didn't do much to the upside which led me believe that if they would go down it would be with force, trapping all who bought, and that's what happened. The RTY was strong on the upside breakout. That's why I focused on the ES and YM for the breakdown.

Orders were in, I only had to guard my risk but the market tanked before I even knew. It's not always ending well.

Thanks. I like all kinds of music but when trading it's only classical. I think this music is good for relaxation and meditation.
