Thanks... I'm trying to post my reasoning behind each trade as well as the numbers.
Thanks very much for your comments -- trading discipline has always been my weak point, but I seem to be doing better with discipline lately....
Tuesday, April 1, 2008 Made a handful of trades before 11am, when I called it quits. Some good trades, but a couple of unusual errors caused me...
Monday, March 31, 2008 I did not do any trading today, so no results to post.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 Man, what a day. I over-traded, should have stayed out during the choppy periods but I didn't. I took a 2 hr break...
