ES 2/28/14 +3.50

Had a hard time figuring out my trend lines for most of this morning. Going into noon, I was still tinkering around with the main channel, as I wasn't quite sure whether it was correct or not. Also, pissed that I missed the big down move that started around 14:30 and lasted to 15:10. My limit order to sell short at the beginning of this move was not filled. Yeah...I'm still not comfortable with using stop orders yet.

ES 2/25/14 +3.75

Missed the entire morning session today. Might miss either most or all of this Thursday's too. Will likely be helping a friend move to her new house.

Anyway, here's another pic that Sai Yeung Choi sent me. Protesters camping out. Looks like a tent city. I believe that Sport Science Bureau stadium is near MBK Center.

ES 2/20/14 +4.50

After the 2 skipped trades, I wasn't able to pull the trigger on any of the other 3 setups I saw. When/if I get 2.50 points or more, I tend to have a hard time entering on any more trades. Am afraid of giving some or all of the points back. Which translates to a lot of missed opportunities.

The past few days, I've had some difficulties logging into NinjaTrader. Have been getting an error message whenever I tried to connect. Not a technical person at all, so I just rebooted my TWC modem. It worked. Hope I don't have to do this every time I want to log in.

Also, got some pics from SYC of his TH & HK trip.
