Down Day -$5.70 38.58


Well today was not a good trading day for me. I shouldn't have traded at all but I decided to go with my gut, not the technicals and trade. Now luckily I quickly got out of the position but I still had a loss. The only trade for the day was a sell short 2 contracts of the DOW.26AUG.HIGHER and 8 minutes later I quickly got out the position. I bought the DOW.26AUG.HIGHER @ 50 :( But it turns out that was a good buy back because the DOW closed up for the day. I shouldnt have traded today because of the major news that was coming out late in the trading day, but I felt that I could manage to get a successful trade (which I couldnt) but I learned my lesson don't trade late in the day with major news out If there is no strong trend.
