In the end, profitable day but missed some opportunities. Lack of focus today was the primary issue here apparently for me. I went in assuming that I might have a slower day due to FOMC, but in hindsight, there were plenty of more trades that I could have taken. Just goes to show that is you go into a day w/ a mindset, you might miss some blatantly obvious setups.

Note on the 6E trade - holy sh*t did I take some slippage on that trade. I went to get short on a sell stop that was not triggered until the 8:30am news (I was hoping to get filled before). In the process of having my sell stop issued when my price level was hit, I took a slippage of at least 10 ticks on that one. Not happy there but the options were: 1) leave trade on and accept it 2) let it go. I went w/ #1.

The trade that I missed I was talking about JK was on the ZB. Really not happy that I missed an excellent short b/c I had checked out for the day.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Traded the Emini on sim again today but with my regular signals and readings. $825. on 14 trades. On 2- I got out at even, 3- I got stopped out, that leaves 9 winners. Can't post a P/L stmt here cause the sim don't do it. I missed the first hr big move up but I got a good piece of the move at 1:30, and a nice long after the FOMC report came out. Anyways all in all not a bad day. Just wish I could remember where I left my you know what's, there around here somewhere, I'm sure they'll turn up soon. lol

Robert - not sure what you mean the 'sim don't do it'. You can just take a screenshot of anything - dom, your ongoing p/l meter, whatever...
