I know, I know. I should have easily won, right? Well, actually I did win. I was set up perfectly, made my first trade and won in 4 seconds! Wow!
Then I made a dumb "extra" trade and it just kept on going down. It hit my stop loss on my second trade before I knew it, so instead of being up, I was down!!! AARGH!
Then I made a third trade which got me back up to breakeven. The -$51.60 was my commissions on the three trades. :(
Oh well. It actually was pretty fun to see the market move like that. Take a close look at the thin green lines. Those are called "Prediction Lines" that we get from MMT about 30 minutes before the trade. Look how price bounced (relatively) off the 1086.50 line and went up from there. Instead of thinking I was "all that" and made that losing trade, I should have waited for price to hit that line and then played off that line.
Live and learn.
Have a great day.
P.S. I have another trade opportunity today, but I won't be trading it because of a prior "engagement" if you will, so I'm done trading for the week!
