Future trading: week 2

Balance: 11269.80, Profit/Loss: 12.7%.

During the past week I was too busy to watch the market and do DT.  Only in the Monday morning I traded ES and NQ.  I shorted ES but was stopped out.  Actually I would rather to be stopped out with tiny profit than turning profit into loss.  As soon as I see some profit, I will move the stop order to protect myself.  Unfortunately I didn't get in again.

I shorted NQ as well and was stopped out because of the spike.

Although the major part of the trend was missed, at least I didn't lose which is good.  The problem is I cannot watch it for all day long, so can only do one or two trades a day to catch a big move instead of scalping many times.  Anyway, I just do it whenever I am free and see how it goes.
