no reason not to take this trade. it was .40 away, no big deal, nice long consolidation. look good on all charts but i didn't. i just didn't believe that what i thought was correct. but who cares, you need to put on positions and let them work.



























































































































































bot rimm after that retracement and then a red hammer bar. i felt the market was going to go higher. it did but i got out to soon. got to let the trade work.

















got f*&ked on this trade. that short at 2:45 at 155 was a stop order from earlier that i did not cancel. i don't know why a stop turns into a long, but i will take with the broker about that. anyway, it is my fault for not paying and attention and going to use the restroom without checking my pending orders.

i covered about .60 higher and flipped the position. stupid trading. annoyed as hell. but the flip was the correct move. what wasn't was holding .60 against me.

































i wanted to short around the 10:30 but didn't. then i got involved later. didn't really work out amazing. then i got really short around the low. then i saw the dojis happening around 11:15 and knew i had made a mistake. i flipped the position but, i should have read the trade much better.


















the above black charts are from lightspeed. and look at this chart below with td ameritrade feed. can you see the difference. all those freakin wicks can drive a person crazy. tomorrow i am going to try the tick data and if that doesn't work better, i am going to pay for iq feed.
