I was unable to trade in the morning but came in after lunch.
I was happy that I was able to sit through the see-saw, up and down stuff right after lunch...
I had orders in briefly a few times but pulled them right away when my setups dissolved.

I finally made one trade when price made a LL and looked ready to stretch out.
It ended up being a 4 tick gain. I should have gotten right back in on the next failed HH but I missed it. Not paying attention or something. That wouldn't have amounted to much either, a few more ticks, but it should have been taken.

Overall, I am feeling much more relaxed, (I know it's paper trading, but usually it hits me the same).
My breathing keeps me relaxed and focused. I'm feeling a lot better about sitting for an hour and not taking a trade...waiting for what I need to see...

This is probably a weird week, volume seems low. I will probably not try anything tomorrow.

Winter has set in here. A few inches of snow that seems to be staying which means the ground is getting cold. Some of the lakes are frozen over already...

The main rifle deer hunting season has come and gone. I don't hunt anymore and the idea of dressing up in blaze orange and going into the woods seems comical to me now. But now the dogs will be finding piles of deer parts and guts in the woods and barfing all over the floor at night. I don't like deer hunting season anymore.

My son started his hockey practice a couple weeks ago with the first games being over the coming weekend here.

The initial shock of winter has subsided somewhat but it seems to take a little longer every year...

...a little off topic, I guess. Here's my chart.
