Friday and Monday!

Friday was a bad day in every way possible, did not even limit it to trading but that is another story! Down about $1,200 on the day after being up $400 most of the day. Combination of ill timed short and forgetting to cancel some sell orders being hit in the last half hour. Froze like a deer in headlights for a few minutes and finally got out with the loss. I was even "done for the day" around 1:00 pm est but came back and thought I saw a setup ignoring the breakout going on.

Monday was up $250 exactly on over 20 contracts. Again traded poorly but managed things better. 8 of those contracts was a fat finger I quickly covered at b.e. this time!

Spent the weekend doing good things to try to capture some market karma.

Welcome Back!

Took a loss of $400 yesterday on a swing es short right before the breakdown! Took some mental health time off last week other than that trade. Traded a bit of cl last couple of day's but mostly break even other then the $400 es loss.

Today traded back from down over $400 to up $92.60 on 29 contracts. Felt good to shake the rust off but did not like getting down trading recklessly. Back at it tomorrow full speed.

Feel like cl can drift up and close at good highs tomorrow but do not have the fortitude to put on a swing trade.
