The 1st trade (the $570ish loss) was not part of the method, but instead was a careless throwaway trade I added when I created the account - why I don't know.

Anyway, can't promise much as I'm rusty & need to get back into the swing of things. Hopefully this will be a positive learning experience & making it public will keep me honest and help me trade well.
Not dead yet. Can't quit.
