I usually preach against listening to news, but I have to admit today was a day to have known what was going on. The premarket action already had a HUGE rally showing that Wall Street really does have insider trading happening. I actually do not know what time the news hit - but something was clearly going on way before the open.

I have some personal things going on and had issues with Ninjatrader. Midday I switched back to Bracket Trader and that was a mess. With no mental focus and many distractions I was slaughtered. The system as usual did just fine. I had always read about traders needing to stay away from the market when distracted and I finally got to see why. I had some good trades and should really have been ok, lesson learned. Even though I will have some time tomorrow, I will take the day off. Wednesday I will be unable to view the markets. I will post nightly recaps if I can.

Aside from the usual, I need to begin working on a solid trading plan and STOP moving STOPS. Once I get the plan going if it proves profitable and I can stay disciplined I may be ready to move to real money.
