Just no luck
I was looking to go long early on and HD presented a good enough opportunity off a break of the 11am bar high. I took a smaller position and scaled out so the loss wasn't that bad. But if I back up about :15 earlier, I missed a great entry in RIMM off the 10:45 bar high. I can get pretty distracted during trading with two kids running around and that was obviously the case here. Just bugs the shit out of me when I miss the one good opportunity I may have had in the day. Later on I shorted MET (2:15 bar low) and that didn't work out but I scaled out to breakeven.

come on dude.. you gotta use a babysitter.. and have the confidence that you can make more by trading than her charges.
I had a babysitter for 2 years and she left. Not worth the 'other' issues trying to replace her. I can't wait to trade under normal circumstances.

It is hard trading with children around if you pay attention to them.
Try ignoring them. We all know money is more important.

Amen to that DT. I'm actually in the process of showing my 4 year old how to make pasta and chicken. Then my 7 year old is learning the fine art of washing dishes.
