short 1 YM @ 10828
covered 1 YM @ 10824 + 4(profit)

     5 point trail...ehhhhhh
Guess My Stop Game on the right

added 20 XOM @ 73.30
     Okay....so you ask... how?, the high isn't even close to that price...my prices, profits include the brokers fees.  This is my broker on the left, the high priced one...the broker on the right -IB - only charges a buck a trade.  The higher priced brokers are only better once you start trading lots of 500 shares or more.

Think I might have to trade the futures more...

 It was a triple top...I shorted it...had a 20 point loss stop...it came within 7 points...when I showed 60 dollar profit I put my 5 point trail on....it spiked up a left me with 15 dollars....in less than 2 minutes...40 point drop
That's a little of what I did right and what I did wrong on this one trade
