Laugh or Cry

Tomorrow I shall enter my trades on here. I really should write out one million times as a punishment, "Trade what you see, not what you think".

So this will be a confessional, an embarassment , call it what you will but I have to do something about it. If I know I have to report my trades maybe I won't make the same mistakes. For example I shorted the Dow today because, quite obviously, it was going to reverse. Moron.

Look out for tomorrow's entertainment. Don't read my blog alone; it may be just too scary! Of course, I could be wiped out by then........

[Benny Dorm]

Cable

Whipped out for b/e. Possibly put stop in a tad early but at least no loss.

Euro/Usd below pivot but doesn't want to go below an old fib expansion level. How significant this is I will have to wait and see.

Cable

I broke my own rules.

Traded cable during NFP. Made 30pips, which is fine but I traded what I thought, not so much what I saw. In my defence, the move down did seem to run out of steam so I went long and got the return bungee. Looking at it right now that's ok but I did not stick to my rules.

Food for thought.
