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.

Fri. 10/28
2:40pm CDT - Really? The increased volatility after FBI announced it will reopen Hillary email probe reeked some havoc on my system and discipline. Mostly followed plan but could have all been avoided if I had the balls to take some better exits in the morning. Some stuff to ponder before Monday. Net +$54 on the week. Go Cubs!

3:10pm CDT - Lots of sizeable swings today for no apparent reason. Hopefully the Cubs swings will get them to the World Series over the next 2 or 3 games with series tied 2-2 against LA!

Tues. 10/04
1:55pm CDT - Some wild swings early on for no apparent reason made for an "opposite" day, a day where you would have done well to take the opposite position of every trade you took! Or reversed at every stop out would have been good too. More research needed...
