Got stopped out of SSO at open leaving me with a decent gain.
Same with BDK, but with a small loss.

Tried to outsmart crude with DXO at $2.62 and got bitch slapped at my 2.50 stop. Set the stop tight for a reason.
Picked up some feb 20 puts of CECO at 1.30.

My EUR/USD paper trade is kicking it very well. I like Forex a lot, but definitely need to be very well capitalized, emphasis on very well, before I jump in to that pool.

I am an IBD reader. Always have been since I started investing/trading. I didn't always follow the way in the beginning, stupid, stubborn, whatever, but I learned eventually that William O"Niel was smarter than me when it comes to trading. Duh!!

Last year, late in the summer, when it started to go bad, I decided to go to cash with what money I had in the market. It wasn't easy, cause sometimes the urge to trade was just so strong. I had built my account up a bit, broken lots of bad habits, and finally realized I wasn't nearly as smart as I thought I was. Here I was clipping along, feeling pretty good, "banking some coin" (ibankcoin.com) and really digging this trading shit, when it started to get a little complicated. It wasn't quite as easy as yesterday. I started to lose some when I should have winning. Started buying more puts than calls, and it wasn't always so obvious which way to go.
Hmmmm
