Yes, that's correct! I lost a whopping $2 on the day!
Slept in this morning and it's a good thing as I would've started off the day 0 for 1 with a $200 or so loss. Better lucky than good sometimes.
Was tempted to trade the first long pullback following the initial breakout but thought the better of it. Just sensed the profile of the market was changing.
Missed one of best opps of the day right around 2PM as price broke out on TICK pop on a nice vol spike only to quickly reverse. Had a 2 sec window to enter, and I wasn't paying attention.
Got lucky on last trade to escape with a small profit. As with yesterday, I entered a trade around 3:40 (why do I keep doing this to myself?). Took a countertrend scalp and didn't have a chance to adjust my targets. My usual tgt would've filled easily, but by the time I moved the limit order we were back up. This thru me off and I ended up moving my stop loss. Just sensed this was a shakeout move before the close. Sure enough I was right, but just didn't have the right entry. Took a $225 drawdown to make $25. Not good.
Back at it tomorrow.
