Re: ES frustration today

I have to agree with brown, there has to be discipline when trading and making an entry. Believe I've done this and it was nice to continually taking small losses but psychologically it hurts watching your capital shrink and see the fees accumulate, it's a negative sum game and doing that will not break even or win. The market is a very nasty place to play with your head and emotions, teasing you to come in and out... over and over until you plead for mercy. A trading plan with stop loss (not jerk it around) will decide once and for all if the trade works or not.
