Haha yea. I was happy to crawl my ass back out of the red on the day though.
By this trade I had missed 2 of my entries, and hit MSFT for a rule break trade that cost me 30c on 50 shares. I was happy to just break even on the day with the strategy, and a bit ahead of the game.
That's also what kept me from trading any more. I wanted to go into the weekend without having a really bad day (always feels the worst on Friday).
I can't believe how much it tanked for the rest of the day..... Something I still need to get used to in the Large Caps.

Good job in stopping trading! And also in relation to finish green for the week. If that means for you just aim for it and keep it up! In the end it's just about our personal conception of it and how we face risk! Personally I gave up the profits for the day cause for me was nothing really worth to be kept. I wanted to give me the opportunity to achieve a nice trade! From my side If that mistake of the half dollar was not there the trade would have develop really nice :D We shorted the 139.50sh that was a good job that had to be preserved:D Have a nice weekend ;)
