Now we're not complaining as a profit is a profit.  Given the market conditions were choppy to say the least we were pleased that once again Inteligex kept us out of trouble.   The net result was three trades.  Two winners, and sadly another loss. 

We never hide our losses - it was a loss caused by human error not by the product - but a loss is a loss. 

What did we do?  Moved a stop to the wrong place.  Tightened it too quickly.  A complete rookie error.

Anyway .... having lost $100 we then had two winning trades of $200 then a small $80 trade before stopping trading for the day.  Why did we stop?  There was just no volume and the emotional side of trading (the one that makes you trade through boredom or other reasons) was starting to rear its head (hence the error).

Our tip to new traders and experienced hands alike is when you feel that happening, it's time to just stop.  Maybe go for a walk or do something else.  Even as a full time trader that is true.  What did I do?  Well, I got on my indoor bike and smashed out a 25km bike ride in 39 minutes.  We walked away, which is often the hardest thing to do.  Given the market though,  perfectly sensible.

For tomorrow - we may not even get a trade away.  Inauguration day so we're expecting low volumes again.
