2:20pm CDT - Sabotage is the word of the day since that's pretty much what I did to my plan.  I'm back to breakeven on the year.  I could blame it on my stubbornness to test things live instead of on a demo account.  Fact is, I've grown impatient waiting for either success or failure to arrive.  So I pushed the envelope today and pushed the wrong direction.  It could have been a day equally green as the red below but it's not.  So be it.  I'll be fine after some fresh air this afternoon when I will realize stubbornness and impatience has no business in a trader's mindset.  Comments off.  Will update again in August after a break and some SIM trading.

2:00pm CDT - Another Euro system trade, this time thanks to NFP.  It went nowhere. Don't have time to look but this may be a record for my 6E system for number of trades in a row that don't hit target or stop and time out at end of day.  Happy Independence Day this weekend to all Americans!
