I liked what I saw on the SPY too. I had one chart that looked just beautiful on the SPY so I went over to another trading account to buy in the money calls on the SPY.....

Hiindsight, I shoulda bought them both but its uncanny how sometimes you go to make a trade and you weazle out. In this case it was because my timing was literally nearly perfect for catching it near the low only that by the time I got my order up and ready to place it kept ticking up on me. Within just a couple of minutes it went up like 40 cents and I'm such a cheap bastard with a narrow attention span I just said "FUGETABOUDIT!"

I could have tried to catch it on the next downdraft but by that time my ADD addled mind was on to something else. Then I reheated some leftover coconut shrimp with rice and even though it wasnt much rice it spiked my blood sugar so I layed on my couch and fell asleep (not good to do but it happens to me a lot) and just woke up.

So, there you have it: 3 hours in the life of half-assed trader.
