3 min ER. 11 trades (8-2-1) for $135 (-$50.08 comm).

Another not-so-bad day with decent trading opportunities. Gotta bear with me. Suddenly, I've got two farked up keys on my keyboard and they happen to be E and I. Half the time, they work fine, a quarter of the time, they print nothing, and the other quarter of the time, they get stuck and I have a bunch of eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's and iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's to backspace on. I go through a keyboard a year it seems. I learned my lesson last year and bought the cheapest Made in China piece of shit keyboard, as opposed to the expensive Made in China pieces of feces (that rhymes!) I got before. We've got to stop outsourcing these keyboard manufacturing jobs. I hope these Presidential Debates address this crucial issue.

I woke up naturally at 4:30 am here (that's 2 hours prior to market open) and that sucked. Couldn't go back to bed because I knew I'd be twice as tired when my alarm clock went off an hour later. By the market open, I had too many pitch black coffees in me and I was a zombie. I zoned out the first half of the day, but snapped out of it for the second half.

The 2 contract strategy did not work that well today. I tried it five times and wound up with less ticks on the runner everytime. I've got BT set to b/e +1 as soon as my first scalp target is hit. A couple times the stop got hit, then the trade took off. My other trade was a 1 contract inverted ghost short attempt that should've been 2 contracts, but I messed up on BT again. The execution botches continue.
