Recorded trading session on the E-mini S&P 11 Oct 2012, 10pm - approx 2am AUS Local Time.
Profit: Flat.
The session yesterday actually offered quite a few opportunities, however, I did not have enough concentration to capture them, which have left me flat after 2-3 hours trading.
S&P breakout after initial jobless claim fall to the lowest level after 2008. I thought the rise could not be sustained and shorted, however, I was wrong. The market north for another half and hour before consolidating.
Lesson learnt: Before the open and the release of data, I thought it was a boring session. After review, I found out there actually existed quite a few opportunities I failed to take. Trading the breakout, you have to trust your instinct and allow greater swing.
