A daily chronicle of results of one retail futures trader trading my own accounts. I define myself as a day trader and generally swing for at least a few points most of the time. But I do make the occasional scalp for ticks too.

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.
