That's it...I'm done for the day and will walk away with small profits for the day. 14:41

Not the aggressive trading I wanted from the opening bell but I didn't have much of a chance to make big profits with all the data problems.

<WannaBeBOS> those data problems COST you money 14:43

<NihabaAshi> Yep...and so is the big time snowstorm. 14:58

:(

The visibility outside is about 80-100 yards... 15:01

To me that's a "White Out".

<WannaBeBOS> pretty much

<NihabaAshi> Shoveled the patio and sidewalks twice...have gotten another foot of snow since the last shoveling. 15:02

<WannaBeBOS> geez

sure isnt seattle is it?

<NihabaAshi> Both prior times caused me to missed two good trades.

Nope.

I think I'm more active here in the winter than the summer because of all the outdoor work, skiing and such :) 15:03

<WannaBeBOS> yes

<NihabaAshi> I have a small tree in the front yard about 12 feet tall... 15:04

<WannaBeBOS> covered?

<NihabaAshi> Another foot and 1/2 of snow...it will be covered.

Have a very dangerous slope from the peak to the window. 15:05

<WannaBeBOS> you remember tigga, right?

<NihabaAshi> Thus, anything that slides down that 10 feet slope peak will come right through the living room window :(

<WannaBeBOS> he lives in austria now. they have had 35 FEET of snow this year

worst winter on record

<NihabaAshi> Geeesh.

This is by far the worst winter since I've moved here. 15:06

Take care, have a nice weekend and see all next weekend. 15:10

<WannaBeBOS> have a good one niha 15:13

nice trading this week

Trading Perspective: Today was not a good day for aggressive trading. Spent much of the day doing a lot of outdoor work due to the crazy snow storm which has dumped several feet of snow along with heavy winds.
Yet, I did do a little size in my trades today via 6 contracts on average until the last trade that was only 1 contract because I wanted to ensure the day finish at a profit if the trade resulted in a loss (which it did).
