Thurs. 3/10

2:45pm CST - Several euro system signals today but I missed the last one which was a winner but still would have only been breakeven for day.  I'm still thinking of kicking this system to the curb but it's actually not doing any worse than my discretionary trading is this year!

Wed. 3/09

10:20am CST - New equity low on the year. Selling at lows and buying at highs with wide-ish stops was the cause of most of this loss.  Went off plan on last couple trades accounts for rest.

Mon. 3/07

12:30pm CST - Testing a newly revised plan this week with a good start today. Could have been more patient on 2nd trade.

Fri. 3/04

2:10pm CST - No trades yesterday, still working on new plan. A couple Euro system trades today. This system trades so infrequently and the big momentum moves that provide signals just do not seem to follow through like they used to and "V-turn" instead.  YTD net gain -12.4%.

Net breakdown (contracts traded):
6E -$658(2), ES $47(1)

Wed. 3/02

10:10am CST - Funny how the market humbles you just when you're feeling good (2 days ago). This morning was really tough to read with higher highs and lower lows alternating all morning. Time to rethink the trade plan again.
