2/23/23 - Energy Market Trading Journal - Loss of $25

 Whew! Today was a really crazy trading day. I started the day off holding KOLD and that was a big mistake since Natural Gas went up today.

After selling my KOLD at a loss I was negative 120 dollars on the day. Luckily I bought some BOIL shares and was able to recoup half my losses. 

Today was another big surprise with BOIL jumping 12% on the day. I could have made a 12% gain if I had predicted BOIL, but I predicted KOLD and was wrong. I am lucky I only pay about 1% for that loss.

I think BOIL will do well tomorrow so I plan on betting that way.

 Today was a great and easy day of trading for the most part. The day started off a bit scary by slowly dropping down 1.5% by market open. By 8:20am my BOIL stocks were up 2.5% By end of day, they were up nearly 7%! I didn't have to sell at all today besides my KOLD at the start of pre-markets.  I expect after the huge gain today that there will likely be some pullback on Monday.

 Really bad day today! No time to post details though. Edit 3-1-23: Got some time now.. So what happened is the day started off in the pre-trading hours trending down. This trend downward made me think that it would be a bearish day-- and it was a bearish day until it wasn't. Between 11am and 1pm Natural Gas Futures (NGJ3) shot up from 2.62 to 2.73. The result is that I was negative 360 on the day.
