Congressional Contact Info

With today’s technology, many Members of Congress do not even accept “old fashioned” email anymore. Rather, they utilize an internet-based “web form” system of communications. Below you will find links to a few sites that we have found to be useful. Simply choose the site that works best for you.

I am flat after 11:30 today with a loss of -374 USD and did not trade anymore. I slightly went over my maximum loss for the day (300 USD). I can only attribute this loss primarily to 4 trades that I tried to open my stops out and also open target gains. I slipped out of my normal “scalper” mode. This happens every time I try and I will not do this anymore.

I am looking at a another way to post results and will update.
