Out too soon...

I'm finished up $260 early in live trading today but had to stop after that.  Because the account is not set up with margin, I have to wait for the funds to settle before climbing back in the saddle.
My second trade of the day had a beautiful entry but exited far far too soon.  I literally took a small fraction of money available to me; entry long in TNA at 10:15 am at $86.24.  This trade peaked at $88.65.

I have a lot of work ahead of me to improve but I am happy for the $260; it's more than I started with.

Here are my live trading reults since March 11th.  Today's results are not listed because the trade hasn't become official.  I had a $120 gain today in TNA.
On Monday, I had my best live trading day ever with two trades netting about $1,250.  As has been one of my great shortcomings, most of my winners are exited far too soon... one of my trades on Monday would have netted up to a $2700 gain instead of $950 had I been more in tune with momo.
