11:15am CDT - Looking for breakouts when none existed.  Then trade the top of range short and get stopped to the tick.  Not my day...  For the week, net +$283.

Thurs. 4/14

1:30pm CDT - No range today but didn't get into too much trouble.  News from BP CFO at 9:39 CT took me out of a decent first trade.  And now in final 2 min. of day price decides to move, finally breaks, lower.

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.

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%.
