{quote} Go get some sleep man, you will get your pie later.

I took your advice on sleeping. Then I almost didn't wake up! Rolled out of bed 5 minutes after the opening bell
The short was obvious and today I was able to stay on the right side for immediate profit
Now I'd like to play the longs from around 24,000 but I think I'm calling it a day !!!!

Sleep is more important than any day's profit. I lost sleep many nights looking the charts at the mobile talking to myself i woulda i coulda ... you name it.
Longs are valid if it can stay above Y high >24100. otherwise nothing. I limit myself 5 trades per session. Forcing to discipline myself. I was about to enter another short but i succeed my urge for the first time. Kudos to the impulse maniac .

I agree with the longs being valid still right now, although I give more wiggle room for longs at this price point. Movement will be slow for a little while, until suddenly it jumps, during crazy hour, 1-2 hours prior to closing.

The sleep was wonderful indeed!

Not looking good for bulls, daily bearish close after a bear flag did look like a reversal pattern. Dow is in trading range, anything is possible.

Woke up late, traded 845 to 1030 and then went flat, in anticipation of market volatility due to FOMC.
Order book sweeps, stop run/liquidity run etc.
I get skeptical when I'm buying higher and higher, so my positions get smaller to adjust for possible risk (news risk).
Any reason to be flat, I take it. The night before I check for any news releases for the next day.

Easy day

fees and commissions... they are making quite some money from your trading. nice to see that you trade consistently with success
101 vs 202. does this mean that you trade 2 contracts every time? you trade the DOW only?

Thank you !!
About $50 is the broker's commission. The remainder are the exchange fees. If I lease a seat or buy a seat, it drastically reduces the exchange fees by more than 50%. I came out with nearly $200 today after commission and I have never made $200 for 2-3 hours of my time at a job, ever.

It says 101 trades, but it's more like 10. Every time I scale in/out they are counting it as a trade. So it's kinda misleading.
Some of those trades were exactly buy 1, sell 1. Some positions are scaled in/scaled out. Rarely am I "all in" on 1 market order that sweeps the book LOL.
I try to leave less footprint. 20 or 30 lots on the dow is a lot since it's so thin. Or at least it says "something" about the intent.

Some of my winners I could hold out a bit longer, but honestly I know a lot of days would be drastically less profitable. Lots of losing days by trying to hit home-runs.
I just hit base hits, get in - get out within 1-3 hours.

Calling it a day after less than 1.5 hours of fun work
Broker didn't get rich today but he still made a profit which is good, everyone deserves to earn somethin!
Everyday should be this good, and it's possible
