Thurs. 4/28

4:55pm CDT - Crazy day. Like most of the past few days, I stop when I hit around $500-1000 on the day. Today, that never happened. So I kept banging on the profit door figuring it would open and one of my trades would squirm it's way in. A $1000 ZS short ~11:45 did just that (which I could have held for double or triple that). But I also could have stopped after the first trade and skipped the next 18 trades and ended up at the same point at the end of the day. I was down nearly $1400 midday so it was a good recovery but way too much work.

I realize this chart is hard to follow where each trade sequence is but I'm not about to annotate it that well. Suffice it to say each green or red triangle represents 1 to 4 contracts typically.


Net breakdown (contracts traded):
ZS -$18(52), CL $221(2)
