Fri. 5/29

9:10am CDT - Beyond pissed this morning, mostly at the market, partly at myself.  Gave back 2/3 of monthly gains in past 2 days.  My stops are killing me on days like past 2 and I need to revisit my plan for June.  The perceived benefit of tight or trailed stops to limit risk is BS, at least in my current, less than happy view.

Thurs. 5/28

1:45pm CDT - Another tough day. Should I have quit earlier? Probably. But I also had a buy signal at the end of day I passed on that would have been good for a breakeven day.

Fri. 5/22

1:10pm CDT - A 6E system short trade and a CL short I should have let run further. For the week, net -$126.  Happy Memorial Day weekend to all Americans.

In other news, CME is splitting up the Yen Futures (6J) DOM a bit finer so a tick value will change from $12.50/tick to $6.25/tick as of June 21st.  Sounds good to me as long as slippage doesn't increase much.

Wed. 5/20

2:00pm CDT - Not much range for CL Inventory and Fed Minutes day.  25 ticks MFE on that first trade was great, until I got just 1.  You never know when Inventory report is going to lead to a 200+ tick move or just snap back.

Fri. 5/15

1:30pm CDT - Another winning 6E system trade.  For CL, should have stayed with the June contract for 1 more day but Ninja rolls over the continuous contract early (before volume warrants).  For the week, net +$796.

Thurs. 5/14

1:40pm CDT - Another day I should have quit but the late day surge with volume seduced me in for more.  But it ended up being more chop.  A couple ticks on a few trades made all the difference.
