Expecting a solid ranging day tomorrow...or think the Employment numbers will gum it up?<BR/><BR/>That late day rally was a nice short although I only took a very small piece of it. Market couldn't make it back to the 5ema all day..sheesh! <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to tomorrow and happy to see you had a great day. Let's have tomorrow be even better :)cal_traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311523162335659600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-60752906007972347142008-09-04T17:10:00.000-04:002008-09-04T17:10:00.000-04:00Hey Eric.Heckuva short ... nice.With respect to no...Hey Eric.<BR/><BR/>Heckuva short ... nice.<BR/><BR/>With respect to not beating yourself up over missed opportunity, my only suggestion is to look at trading as a very long-term endeavor which will definitely include times you're away from the market. Nothing one can do about that.<BR/><BR/>I also have non-market commitments -- both business and family -- which have caused me to miss out on moves. Ultimately, if one is very serious about this as a business, there will be times requiring cancelling of all plans when the market is fertile. As has been said, sometimes 90% of success is simply showing up.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there.<BR/><BR/>DonDon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263493919935087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-46221335648210849922008-09-04T16:49:00.000-04:002008-09-04T16:49:00.000-04:00Don - Great commentary throughout the day.

Looks like today worked out well for you.<BR/><BR/>I was short all day on an ES swing trade that finally got some legs today. <BR/><BR/>I have been in the process of moving into a new house and getting new my office set up again so I have been unable to actively trade. I feel like I missed out on a lot of opportunity because of this. <BR/><BR/>Do you have any thoughts on how to work through the fairly standard frustration of missed opportunity?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
