3:05pm CST - Another crazy day. ES was as wild intra-bar as I can remember. Spurts up and down many points in fractions of seconds. And over 5.4 million shares traded on ES today! That may be a record. Even the volume on closing minute today. For the week, net +$1697. And back to breakeven on the year...

Thurs. 2/27 +0.4%

1:45pm CST - I could blame my crappy delayed data but that was just part of my problem today causing a 14% drawdown. At least I quit after getting back to even.  Another day of endless opportunity or risk of ruin.

In old news, Gain data still sucks! But at least the shareholders are likely happy today, who cares about the traders!? www.financemagnates.com/forex/brokers/intl-fcstone-to-acquire-gain-capital-in-all-cash-deal

Wed. 2/26 +1.6%

3:20pm CST - Another volatile day and went off plan a few times which is not good! Nearly quit but then caught a nice move to get back in the green. Really hard to have tight stops on days like this.

In other news, I continue to have Gain Futures data delay issues. Very frustrating that they can't seem to fix this (but do acknowledge problem and are "working on it").

Mon. 2/03 -3.6%

2:00pm CST - Picked up right where I left off a week ago.  I need to develop a 100% rules-based system I guess, despite endless attempts to keep some discretion.  The market continues to laugh at me and my stops.
