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.

1:30pm CST - Feels like a red day but the end result says different. Not sure if that feeling is a good thing or a bad thing. Certainly not feeling complacent after 4 days into the new year.
Net breakdown (contracts traded): ZS $845(30), ZW $359(20)
Good Karma flowing your way maybe. Lack of focus, and complacency, are two of the worst traits to let attach themselves to you. I know firsthand. Complacency must be beaten, strangled, and destroyed. It's a little demon that sits on your shoulder and tells you it's OK to take it easy, you deserve a break, lighten up, there is always next week, and other such smack. It robs you while your eyes are wide open.
