For some reason today I seemed afraid to trade, I only made two trades on the YM. Maybe last week shook me up. I know that I bought on highs today, minutes after I told myself not to buy at these levels something just suckered me in. I think it was a GS daily high alert or something that caused me to buy the YM even higher than the first time I said don't buy that here. While I had to suffer through the down side, all the while calling myself stupid, Robot pulled off bunches of trades.
But--had it been just a few days earlier I would have exited at a loss--I hung on and let this trade ride into a winner. It turns out that "maybe" my stops have been so tight (60$ on any trade) that I ended up just churning a lot of trades.
Robot: 23 winners, 1 loser, profit 282$
Dejavu-yesterday's numbers. Robots last trade had to be called. He was in the trade for over an hour, I let it run into after hours on hopes he could exit it, but I had other things to do, so I'm just calling that trade a loser. I had always believed that some stocks moved so much in a range that you could pull a dime out of the move almost no matter what. That is how I began to build Robot's brain.
The good news--two days in a row Robot has posted these great numbers showing these small profits could add up to making money--the other news---
It seems like once my Robot gets in tune with the market that their super computers change their programing and it could take a month for my way of thinking to work again. This has happened before, Robot was doing great and all of a sudden things just changed. Today I mostly starred at Robot and what he was doing.
Other Stuff: I learned how to put music on my videos
It gets rid of that noisy moving the camera around noise! Now if I could just get my zoom to work while the movie is on again, oh and do something about the blurry pictures. Still working out! That p90x stuff really wants you to contort your body something terrible. My biggest brag is that now I can make it through the warm ups without collapsing.
Fantasy Calls: It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world. sob, sob, sob, aaaaaaaaaa
