I enjoyed reading your commentary for today. I saw parallels to my own thinking through the day, and we even targeted some of the same setups. But I lost money.

I figured out that the difference between my losing day and a very good day was just one point each on my limit prices for entries in just two ES trades. Had I targeted entry on each of these one point lower, I would have had a great day, because in the first case, I would have been in a short just before 10AM, instead of missing it due to no fill, and in the second case, my fixed point stop would not have been hit on a long, and I could have been in all the way up to the gap fill.

A game of inches.
