Thumbs down 8/3/07 General Trade Log / Idea Sharing

Good morning, and good evening to our fellow international traders. Unemployment data came out today at 8:30ET and YM dropped 40 or so points at that time. Good luck everyone.

Trade 1: +25. Longed at the pivot which proved strong support on previous low. Sold a bit early due to scary volatility and lack of firm target.

First trade was short YM at 13494 and covered quick at 484 for +10. Bottom of the range was at 76 and figured it *could* be a possible turning point so took what what I could and am awaiting the aftermath of the ISM so get in again.
