Anyhow figured the blowout.... makes sense. Anyhow gonna take a break, clear the decks and schedule some time to do this rather than doing it in the gaps, and multitasking.

Im gonna write more here about the setups I see.

I need to think through a money management and trading system that I can live with..... i am sort of reeling from my blowout. It means what I was doing was badly designed in terms of the trader/market system. I think the problem is that I have limited time, and it is irregular so i am sitting...

NK session is down 280 - account balance 920.

closed for night.... big loss. margin called. Can see how you fall into these account busting traps. Oh well start again tommorrow. with 1000. There is no way out of a losing deal other than closing it. Doubling down just doesn't work. The market can roll you before you know it. Its why im...
