Re: 8/4/07 General Trade Log / Idea Sharing

Just so you guys know... Nikkei gapped lower only to rally today. Seeing some strength in the Asian markets today. The markets here didnt take the US market decline on Friday negatively. Correlation gets a little distorted over the weekends but traders might be feeling a little optimisitc because of the Asian markets. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Trading summary for today:

6 roundtrips. -27 points. -155.56 realized loss.

Trade 2 was poorly planned and was my biggest losing trade today, -23. Trae 3 was also a poor trade, -16. 16 point stop was too wide. Did not get out with profit ahead of target and did not reposition stop to even out.
