ES 2/13/14 +3.00

Trend day today. Again, I tend not to do as well as I could have, in these kind of days. Could have just went long at the regular open and sold near the close for 20+ points. In hindsight, of course. One of the main culprits of this less-than-ideal performance is my countertrend trading tendency. I keep thinking that the market will reverse at any moment. Instead of just jumping in with the trend, I am always scouting for reversal trade setups. An ass backwards way of thinking.
