I am addicted to trying to call intraday turnarounds. I mostly short during strong days, and go long during weak days. Yesterday was a perfect example For now on, i can only short when the futures are down for the day and go long only when they are up for the day. This will end a very unfortunate tendency. Trading the futures has thrown me off One thing that i stopped doing is listing all my trades with times. I will go back to that Another rule gone astray is papertrading a $2.00 profit after every loss. I will start back doing that, and listing those on my summary Futures are the way to daytrade, but they can definitely ruin you.
