I didn't get a chance to update my trades yesterday. But I have a few losers in the accounts now...
One was just entered today and it was rapidly a looser. CIB. Went long at the open based on the %R retest. I want to blame this mainly on entry and lack of stops put in place. However, no matter what the price I would have been stopped out today based on Headley's methods. Also, I wasn't at the computer today so that wasn't wise. Plus I had hoped to get in at the open instead of doing what I prefer and waiting a little bit to let the open dust settle a bit and finding decent prices prior to getting into a trade.
I haven't started putting trade triggers on all my orders to automatically stop my out. After today that is going to change.
Anyway enough of this self flogging. The money speaks for itself. Bad job Jorge. It is that simple really bad job.
CIB - Oct $50 Calls cost basis...$10.70...sold at $8.90...loss of $1.80 per contract and I had 3 of them...so $540 down the shitter.
Of course tomorrow it will add insult to injury and go higher, since it held the 13 day EMA...I am certain of this.
Charts:
Daily
4hr
This is my personal trading log that I have made public, none of these trades are recommendations for your own trading. You are responsible for your own trading decisions and actions. Not me. This blog is my way of journaling because I am lazy and I don't know a better way of staying motivated to do it. I post daily and 4hr charts with Acceleration bands (20 prd), %R (30 Prd), and other indicators. I use Price Headley's methods and my favorite setups are %R retests outside the Accel bands.
