ES 4/14/14 +4.25

Only traded the afternoon session. Worked all morning to finish my taxes before the 4/15 deadline. Anyway, I was actually in a trade where my runner was not stopped out. Managed to get my 2nd target of 3 points.

Was tinkering around with the SPY yesterday and the entire afternoon today. Looking to start trading this ETF using 100 shares.

Did the first 2 trades using runners (2 contracts). Didn't catch any, as usual. Went back to trading singles for the last 3 trades.

Misread a couple of trade setups - took a full 2 pt stop on one of them. That was a pretty rough blow. Anyway, gonna try trading with a runner (2 contracts) again tomorrow. Did it a few times in the past, but didn't have much luck. Majority of the time, prices would go in my trade direction, after stopping out my runner.

Same shit, different shoe. I saw 15 setups today and took only 4. 2 of the 4 weren't even that good - one was a loss and the other came within a hair's breadth of being stopped out for a full 2 pt. The skipped ones, on the other hand, were almost all stress-free and relatively easy winners. Going forward, I need to trade like a Vulcan - no emotions involved, only logic. Easier said than done, though.

Dag...my old nemesis hesitation caused me to miss a lot of entries (about 6 to 8). Could have had a 10+ point day. Could have, should have, but didn't.

Finally got my replacement laptop for my failing desktop this Tuesday 4/1! Ordered it online on 3/11 direct from the manufacturer. Scheduled delivery was 3/17. When that date approached near, delivery was pushed back to 3/27. When that date approached near, delivery was pushed back again to 3/31. Then to 4/3! Frack that! Have had enough of the delays. Cancelled my order and walked over to my local Staples to buy one, instead.
