Spent $238 trading /ES

I just spent $238 trading ES...quite a few different trades were the result.

Now I know what it is like to trade the real markets. It's better to practice on TOS for the time being! It behaves fairly similar for the longer moves. Once I can make money consistently I can go back to real.

It feels like a bummer quite frankly because the excitement just isn't there in the same way it is when one is trading small with real bucks.

I am proud of myself for stopping at loss of 1% of equity, and when it appeared the market was no longer interested in sudden moves.

I lost an additional $9 on TOS paper trading (in commissions) before it was very apparent that the market wasn't moving so much anymore.

Of course I'm not happy with the losing money thing, and I just can't let myself think of it in real-world terms, as the great traders have said.

Until next time!
