I had lots of work today, and finally got to trading at 16:45, 15 minutes after the market opened.  When I opened the charts I realized I had just missed a major fall, which could have given me a good opportunity to a big profit (or a big loss, of course).

Anyway, when I came in the market was going back up, and seemed like it will continue going up for a bit more.  After watching for about 10 minutes I decided to try getting into a long position.  That was a good move.  After less than 5 minutes I was out with $87.5 on 2 contracts.

I wanted to get a bigger profit, so I tried again with one contract.  At the first 2 minutes it seemed I was wrong, the market seemed to be going down again.  Soon it changed direction, and I went out after 3 ticks, giving me a total of $125 on 3 contracts for today.

Good.  I am feeling a bit reassured.  I am not yet ready for “real” trading, but my confidence is slowly returning.  Though I cannot allow myself any more losses, so it will be yet some time before I will pass from the simulator to live trading.
