Well, at this rate – with 50 days in row with losses like this, I will be $1K in the hole. I think the 100 share positions will be in place for awhile.
Still a good day in any case, I’m slowly getting used to the Laser platform – executions are amazingly fast compared to any retail broker. By the end of the week, I want to honker down and get focused on following my rules better to determine if it’s my behavior or my strategy that is not working. Right now, my trading feels really rusty – like how you feel in the morning when you first wake up. Report on today’s trades 3/03/09:
