Fri. 10/01

1:55pm CDT - The opportunities were nearly limitless in ZS today, to the downside. Corn ended down lock limit, -30cents and beans were down 4.5%. Of course being the first day of the Oct. and my new focus on only beans, I missed most of the action and skipped many signals that would have each netted 4-20 cents. I thought, "It's too risky to sell at those prices - it'll bounce up and take out my stop." NOT! 1 contract sold at open and bought at close would have been $2150 profit. Makes my 33 contracts traded for $630 look not so great.
