Short Again at 1097.50
Looking for 1 or 2 points here... Will scratch if it takes too long to move or if it ticks above 1098. I am still holding my short from 1093 as well...
And covered the initial short at 1094.25, didn't want to hold out for another point back to 1093. Decided to get out now for a small profit (My average entry on the two short positions was 1095.25).
Hopefully that was insightful in regard to managing a position that goes against you... As you can see, although I was taking heat all afternoon, I eventually made a small profit even though my initial entry was wrong...

Active trading (or Day Trading) is not a game, it has a very high level of risk. It is possible to lose all of the funds that you invest in your trades.

Active trading is a serious commitment that should not be undertaken unless you are able to handle high risk and high stress well, and are willing to consistently adhere to objective and disciplined trading strategies and approaches.

ReplyDeleteOk, Looking for a move down to 1095 now
ReplyDeleteCovered one position at 1095.25. Still holding the 1093 Short, will cover that one if we fail to break down further here...
