I continue to dig the hole this month. I had two trades today that really screwed my day up. I bought V on at buy stop over 67 early this morning looking for some follow threw. I got none. In fact, it dropped very quickly after the buy. going past where my stop should have been. I try getting cute with selling the position but somehow I sold it twice. I find myself short with the stock now going up so I covered. My lost should have been around $80 instead it ends up being $160.

To make matters worse, I some small profits on my futures trading going into the Fed notes at 2 pm. From the reaction to the notes, I thought we would have a good chance to break the lows of the day. I got a little too aggressive and ate up all my future trading profits and turned them into losses.

This was just a bad day for my style and every time I force something - that was a stupid mistake.
