Thurs. 1/26 -3.7%

9:10am CST - The last trade was a revenge trade and with that I need a break to recollect my wits and my strategy.  Will be back in early Feb.  The NQ seems different than it was a month or two ago with more violent whips than before.  Not an excuse but we, and our strats, need to be able to adapt to changing environments or there is little chance for success.

Tues. 1/24 -2.4%

3:05pm CST - It wore me down today and spit me out. Watching the YM and ES while in positions led me to have the wrong bias early in day.  Not enough patience and poor trade management cost me on later trades by not being in the moves that did happen.

If anyone's interested and use NinjaTrader version 7, I just updated this "Ruler" indicator I use all the time. Middle mouse button turns it on/off on any chart.

In other news, good to see Jon Corzine getting a nice fine!  Jail would have sent a stronger message.

Tues. 1/03 -3.3%

3:10pm CST - Not the start I was hoping for to start the year.  I also resumed trading in my other account.  I've always shown the equity in both accounts combined and plan to continue taking identical trades in each for now (so 1 lot in each, in NQ at least).   The chop at end of day caught me nicely and got a reversal signal to short for a final stopout.
