Dummy day trading #26 13-September-2006: E-mini Nasdaq: Long trade closed

by Gav Leave a Comment

Right after oil inventory report was released, my buy stop for E-mini Nasdaq was triggered. The trade did not go in my favour. Stop loss was triggered with 1-R loss. Well, too bad.

It seems to be a consolidation day after yesterday’s gain. But, who knows. Anyway, I will stop trading for the day.
