1:55pm CDT - Glad month is over.  I let my idea that the "day-before-long-holiday-weekend" would be muted action and low range cloud my judgement on what trades to take and how much room to give them.  For the week, net loss -$147.

Wed. 8/20

2:10pm CDT - When you're on the wrong side, CL lets you know quickly, especially just after the inventory report. My first 3 attempts all stopped out in under 10 sec. (1 was actually 0.2 seconds with 2 ticks slippage.) The next two were under a minute and the final trade lasted just over 2 min. Wider stops? Better entries? The work continues...
