I want to perfect my trading even more. Looking back I made a few mistakes
Today for example was really foolish of me NOT to put short scam position on early in premarket. Would have gotten better pricing.
So I was afraid before jobs numbers and not FED ?! lol

Lol Now I have no problem chasing them when there already down like 3-4%. Lol I've learned to not rule out any possible moves and trust charts, instincts. Just kicking myself for not jumping in earlier in premarket

hind sight is 20-20 and this morning was very confusing I don't know that you could expect much better than you have been doing.

I have not looked at the charts since I got home but I am looking forward to it, wondering if the volatility scenario that Bloomberg and CNBC were pushing this week is now back off the table
That big green candle is hard to ignore and I see that contango is back up. This is all good news.

hind sight is 20-20 and this morning was very confusing I don't know that you could expect much better than you have been doing. Scams were already below key support in premarket. Me and huh posted about it early in morning before jobs numbers and I let fear of jobsbs numbers stop me from jumping in. I didn't trust charts fully and dug in a little only to short TVIX at lower levels. I could have at least taken small position. VXX was over 19 still at that point

I think we were still affected by the sharp and surprising rally last night, it took some time to get on board with the downward momentum this morning. I'll sell some more premarket monday if it looks good

This is all good news. Should get follow thru. But I won't leave position on. I closed out remaining in ah I've been doing very well so will not deviate. I've also learned that each day is separate from previous and things can always change real quick overnight. Like today.

BTW- was it leaked ahead about Amazon earnings that had anything to do with that VIX spike?

I'll never leave a large short on again. Only smaller sizes. Smaller ones make money but larger ones way too risky.

I'll sell some more premarket monday if it looks good CNBC said rally is because of jobs numbers. Lol. I think word leaked out about Trump executive orders and then just took off even more after news. He's confirming the rally and sticking to his promises. He was good for markets today.

The way I trade has been very effective and I didn't need to leave positions on overnight. I feel very safe during the day taking large risks when scalping. Positions I would never dream of leaving on overnight. I was pressing 50k short TVIX earlier. Imagine leaving that on overnight. Lol

Yeah and the variance of the risk goes out like a cone shape over time. If you do it long enough, you are SURE to get wiped out.

theMist is starting to cook with gas now! Just need to stack 2 monitors on left side better. Need to get rack and could upgrade the 2 older Samsung Monitors I still have. Bought 2 new ACER 27" WQHD LED monitors. New iBUYPower Gaming PC i7-6700 CPU @3.4Hz - 16GB RAM. Dropped in another GEForce 1060 Graphics Card as well. imgur
