MF Global - No Fraud
"Chaos and poor risk control?" Really? Sounds like the typical reason for loss in any retail day trader's account! Sad if our brokers can really get away with that as an excuse...

Tues. 8/14 - Timeout
10:00am CDT - OK, I'm in a funk and can't shake it. No surprise to most of you reading this. Today's trading is a perfect textable example of how not to trade during chop. And how not to follow your trading plan. Perhaps I'll try something totally different, and something I've never advocated, and trade a demo account for a bit? See if that will help me work out my "issues." No live trades for me until the week after Labor Day at the earliest. Let's see if I can stick to a self imposed break. The markets suck right now anyways. Comments off because I've heard everything I need to hear already.

Fri. 8/03
11:50am CDT - One winning traded just after payrolls report followed by a breakeven one that would have been the trade of the day but it was stopped out just as market took off. Then 4 losers... After not trading for a couple days my focus was great but again I am questioning my systems. Look for sporadic trading and blog posts in the near future as I sort out my game plan.
