Another breakeven result today. My entries and exits now are semi-unattended so I just let it do what it does. It's kind of relaxing, as long as it's not going off the rails!
lol...me? I'm a peasant. The avatar is all yours at the end of the month if you want it....all you gotta do is beat @JMP3, @FlyingMonkey, and the new and improved @Rrrracer !

Now I remember why I stopped trading Crude years ago , it's on steroids. Don't like the fast pace Zig Zag price action before a sudden move. With that being said and even though I took money out of the market Crude is not for me.
Monday I'll be trading either ES, YM, or 6E. I'll be looking at charts this weekend to determine which market I'm gonna steal from
Poor all around trading on my part. I should follow my own advice given to @jackbravo and stop trying to force trades or see trades when they are not there.
Started off Sunday on the wrong foot. No pre-market prep, eager to get in after last week's success and it bit me. NO structure had developed yet and no clear direction.
Need to get my head in the game and think straight... sit on hands until you are ready to trade!
Missed the open and a great opportunity for a gap fill. Headed downhill from there; no context, no clear signals, bad positioning, got on the wrong side of trades, holding too long, and user error again rearing it's ugly head. All of this was reactionary and lack of preparation, I really had no business taking any trades... but of course I did anyway.
Managed to dig myself out of the hole, only to jump right back in to it a couple times. I need to clear my head and regroup, come back fresh. Down -53T, an opportunity to be up +84 squandered... after all is said and done, +3 ticks LOL, but commissions and fees will have torn a big hole in that.

US session:
And sorry for reporting late; here's my current PnL:
Don't like the trade for today. I also fell victim to under-preparedness. Superbowl etc. cut into prep time.
Continuing to tweak and revise throughout the month. The experiment continues, on very light size of course. -10 ticks.
EDIT: just watching the es / ym / nq tick away like madness for entertainment purposes. man o manischewitz, hope you brave souls are holding onto your hats.
