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.

12:35pm CDT - Slow markets, even CL. Everyone is trading the July contract already (double the June volume). Many brokers, mine at least, are allowing liquidation only on June. ES very sleepy. Had a good signal while at lunch in kitchen. Oh well... Net for crappy week -$512.

2:55pm CDT - Too many BE trades. When I've had enough and am ready to bail, I need to tell/make myself, just wait 2 more minutes. Would have been a totally better day.
