I'm trading ES futures with our SPY system. Decided that 5
futures would be 100% so I start off with 2. Had to go to the
dentist this afternoon, didn't want to have such a
large position away from computer into the close, so ended up
selling our third entry early (ie sold one ES future). Thank
goodness for a little profit on that entry anyway. Leaves me long 3
futures now.
Now here's the thing - it felt such a RELIEF, going to the
dentist. LOL I said to myself: If you'd rather have a root
canal - LITERALLY - that's a sure sign that you're too extended
with too much leverage!
There's no commandment that says I have to trade 2,1,1,1
eminis. I can just do a partial single-entry, partial multi-entry.
Like 2, then 1, then just stop there. :-))
That's hilarious. You may go down in history as the
inventor of the root canal indicator. Just be sure you don't curve
fit the tooth's exit rules.
And sorry to have to correct you, but I believe there is such a
commandment. Somewhere in Leviticus, if memory serves, near the bit
about seeing your father's nakedness.

With the way the futures are behaving, some gallows humor wouldn't be a shoddy idea.
