With a $1600 account, you should not be losing 120 in one shot. I am not some hot-shot trader, but I subscribe to the idea that the damage...
-$3.85 on 8000 shares. Market was not favorable to me, but ended on a tolerable note.
+$36.42 I made one mistake today, but there weren't any opportunities to really make money on. The goal, as always, is to just diversify and...
