However, you will find informative commentary on a few occasions as time
permits and such will
contain trading tips that should help your trading as I attempt to sum up my

Statement
Tough trading day and I took it easy at the wrong time
of the day when a pattern signal appeared that would have made me profitable
for the trading day.
Regardless, I'm still feeling a little mentally out of
the game (tired) and will take it easy the next few trading days next week
because of such.

| I'm going to take a chance and stay in this trade even though its reached my WRB pt level (I should be covering). | 13:05 |

<RussellDaytrade> | i have approx 5-7 minutes remaining on my 821.46 projection. that last leg did not extend it into the target, as i expected it to. this one now may be its last opportunity. in short, it appears to me to be losing relative strength, and, the fact it is not extending into my target also indicxates that loss of strenght |
| just a couple minutes now, as i type slow |
<Brutus> | oh yeah | 13:15 |
<NihabaAshi> | A few more ticks and its another WRB level. |

| Market internals no longer supporting my Short position. | 13:19 |
| Price action should be back up to 820.00 by now... | 13:24 |

<NihabaAshi> | Yeah...I'm slowly getting into that frame of mind to just call it a day and stop chipping away at the losses to get green for the day. | 15:25 |
| It's been a good week of profits for me too but not where I'm normally at. |

Traders Accounting |
As traders we must treat our trading like a
business if we are to succeed as traders and as a business. Therefore,
waiting till the last few weeks March to prepare for April's taxes is not
good for your trading and could put extra stress on your trading during tax
month or the months that follow if your one of those traders that filed an
extension.. Therefore, its best to be on top of your taxes throughout the
year and
Traders Accounting
is a great resource for such especially if you want to prevent penalties or
