A daily chronicle of results of one retail futures trader trading my own accounts. I define myself as a day trader and generally swing for at least a few points most of the time. But I do make the occasional scalp for ticks too.

1 Step Forward, 2 (or 3) Back
1:30pm CST - Bad day started early with 4 losing trades on the Euro getting clipped for 10-12 pips each after the Brits' interest rate news. And bad ended with buying the afternoon high in Crude, 76.96 and stopping out at a break to downside of the 15-min. inside bar at 76.69. Should have reversed crude trade right there but I am at my loss limit for the day. I need my head examined. Comments off.
