  1. One of the great advantages of daytrading is that the tide can turn on a dime. Next week may be the exact opposite of this week. This assumes of course we don't start doubting our system and shoot ourselves in the foot by trying to cherry-pick signals.

  2. Your chart's slope looks about like my P&L for the week too. Slow summer churn.

    Oh yeah and TradeStation was greatful enough to close my long Sept coffee contracts today 30 mins before the close, so I missed the 2 cent run-up into the EOD. I'm always diligent about not trading contracts in the delivery period, but in this case it was utter bullX*&h. The first notice period is not till Monday, and I would've closed the trade out before the end of the session any way. Does TradeStation care? Nope.

    Sorry to be so long winded. Just venting.
