This was a month of back and forth. I started trading much better after the 15th but still have the big problem of letting the trades work. If I sat on my hands after the 15th - I would have been 16-4 and had a nice couple of weeks. So what happened on the 15th? I do not know. The 14th was a real bad day for me and if you took away just that day - I would have had an up month.

Slowly I am getting away from too much options trading and trying to focus on ES trading. Not a good month even thou I was close to break even. After closely looking at my trades, way too many of them I would have graded poor. In fact only 17 trades, i was happy with my entry and exit. That number should be at 80-90 percent for me to be at the level I want to be.

I bit the bullet on a S&P strangle trade that I had been rolling over since September. If I had not screwed up on managing the trade - the loss would have been a lot smaller.
-
It is hard to look at this month and say it was a good month. Remove the strangle trade and I would have been up $300 on the month. That also includes I had dug myself a $300 hole in the frist couple of trade so the rest of the month was good for me. But still it seems silly to say you had a good month losing over $3400.
-
The only saving grace is that the IRA does mark to market on commodity option trades so most of this loss landed on last years tax return.

This was not a good month in either trading results or mental capital. I had a two day period where I lost about $1000 and did some stupid things. One of them I had a computer issue that allowed me to enter a position 3 times larger than normal. So instead of hitting the get me out button once I saw what happened - I decided to let it ride and take a major lose.
