A Killer

I can see I'm getting tested this first month of doing this. Last night the trade did everything perfectly - went short and it went slowly, steadily downward, right to the target price and hit it, but only on the sell side. It was the amount of the margin away from completing. Then it reversed and sent up and BARELY hit the break-even stop. I mean the sell didn't even make it. Then it promptly went down and through what was the target price. This is the kind of stuff that will absolutely make you go crazy.

It wasn't a losing trade, but it couldn't have been any closer to a winning one. Twice! Very discouraging. I have yet to have a winning trade this month. The last one was on Dec. 31. I will keep my word and keep doing the plan, though. I still enjoy watching the movement. I guess I'll be out for a week when I'm in Memphis. I'll start again when I get back.
