Two days losses in a row means I'm in the penalty box for the Open tomorrow. ....a Trade Plan Rule I fortunately don't suffer much from. It would be easy to blame things on the market.... or trading in a hair-trigger news environment, where the perfect storm of foreign policies, politics and tea-read economics sits parked overhead like a weather front that just won't go by. But the truth is, I made trading errors on both days. Yesterday, while suffering the stp-out of my RT position in a doe-eyed, 'what hit me' trance, the ES was signalling BuyThisLow now !! But I'm too cool to trade the 'Especially Slow' ES. And today, while in an NQ 'I'll find you, no matter how much it costs me' trance, the YM meekly stuck its little neck out to say "Try Me, I can produce too!", albeit with an extra contract or two.... But I'm too stubborn to give up on the NQ, no matter if I give up all early profits doing so or not. So there's that....

By Trade Plan Rules, I can switch back to real money tomorrow if I can SIM 2 of 3, or 3 of 5 winners from the Opening....
but maybe I'll just play along the whole frame... maybe the markets, and my current stp-loss allowances, are just a bit too meager to be in these sessions... cya manana..
