I was too fearful of losses to keep a SL of 20 points back, so did not follow #4 in the previous post of mine.
I was blind until 3:30pm and could not see the pivots even though I was staring at the screen all the time. Actually I might have seen the pivots but my brain did not register them as such. so did not follow #1.
Until 2pm I just watched it fall thinking it's going to reverse any time. I now remember reading on traderji something like "A trend is in place until proven otherwise". Why I did not remember it then I do not know.
Finally ended with about 70 points profit. Between the stopped out points and re-entry lost potential to make about 40 to 50 points due to not being in trade.
Overall it was a good day for me.
Please write about your trades/thoughts.

Make use of the VWAP thing (you might have read about it in ST's DayTrading
thread) after 2:30.
It will be really helpful to make a decision on whether you can continue in the
trade till the end or not.
If diff between C and VWAP is 35 or more (in the case of NF, I mean) after
2:30, it pays to stay if you are already in the direction of the price.
