Thurs. 8/30 -1.3%

2:50pm CDT - Another losing CL system trade. Officially, it's 0 for 10 this month, down $2600.  But because I overrode a couple trades, I'm only down $1680 MTD on CL.  I do not feel like I won $920 however!   All trades in all symbols YTD I'm at -$1100 or -7.5% (~one CL system winner, in other words...)

Fri. 8/10 -2.7%

1:00pm CDT - CL from yesterday stopped out just before the open again today. It was up $850 while I slept but still short of target.  6E was extra bouncy today (due to Turkish turmoil?).  -$1310 net for this crappy week, all thanks to CL system trades.  6E was breakeven/barely up.

2:55pm CDT - CL from yesterday stopped out just before the open.  Entered short again on another signal and holding (in the money for now). It's been very spikey lately!  6E had a loser then winner.  Once again, should have held longer...
