Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, brother john?

Can't help but sing this nursery rhyme when I look back at the trades I had for the day. I must be like brother john, sleeping through the day. Today I experienced a day of pure bad luck! :( Missed at least 2-3 winning trades. I wasn't monitoring closely when the market is in swing and by the time I noticed, the trend was over. Those I managed to engage in ended up in loss (well, most of them). The trade which was rollover from yesterday ended up a loss too.
