May 7th

CL -.02
Rough day for me. First two losing trades were taken at the lows which is something I dont do. So that is a trading error on my part. Also, missing a nice trade away from computer. Also, a couple trades went off and my ATM strategy did not place the target and stop for me... Computer glitch? The breakeven trade was one of those times, would have been a winner. Guess am lucky to only lose 2 ticks...... :-(

Slow moving Friday. Just one trade and missed a couple of borderline trades for me. Calling it a day.. I closed this week April 24th to May 1st up for the week ...Which I believe is a first for me in cash trading. Next goal, profit in two weeks... so am half way there.

Took some major slippage on the last two trades for big loses. My stops were over run and never executed. Lost 10 ticks the first one and the third trade doesnt even list the trade. But I was slipped for 22 ticks it looks like. Am quitting for the day.

On the loss, was one tick off the entry when it moved in my favor, should have pulled the order. Lesson learned and will start using that plan. I dont need that trade even if it shows a winner.

Trade three was a move of the stop to break even because of touch no fill but when I did that, I got to the target and it gave me another entry. So i got out with one tick loss on the trade that shouldnt have been. The 8 tick loss trade was 3 ticks of slippage. :-(

Only one trade but no complaints entry was good just inventory day and market moves funny. Took two ticks of slippage as well. I need to concentrate more on the trading. I missed some really good moves that would have produced good results.

Trading was good and I was patient.. Took my time between trades and was selective. Missed a lot of entries due to being preoccupied but I was happy with the results.
