How did you make out today DD

Shorted 1903 and just covered at 1870 for 132 ES ticks (33 points). That is my only trade of the day. At 11:30 AM EST I lowered my stop loss to lock in +10 and then I just walked away and didn't mess with it until a few minutes ago. It is much easier to avoid errors when you keep the keyboard out of reach lol.

as I look back you are right there was a 2b long which i missed that would have resulted in a win but the pb would have lost so no harm no foul

Hi D,

are we still taking trend as usual?

High of the day taken out for bullish or low of the day taken out for bearish?

Or has that been scrapped?

KR,
