$SNXX This cost me dearly, so I’ve decided to start over, record my trades each day, and stick strictly to my previous trading rules. I don’t believe what people on the forums say—that U.S. stocks never trap you and will always recover.

The Korean index was difficult to trade at the open this morning. My direction was right: I tried to short on rallies, but I kept getting stopped out. Or perhaps my estimates of the highs were a bit off. If there isn’t much volatility, I’ll take a break. I’ve been tired these past couple of days too.
