I should be, I agree. I think I have some sort of gunslinger, shoot-from-the-hip, Natural Born Trader sort of idea which is screwing with me....
Only when I have profitable days.
Where is my head? I'm dealing with some big girlfriend issues, but that can't be the only reason I sucked so badly today. Where is the trader...
Forgot to write my stats down today. I ended up down about $25 for the day, though. I lost most in F in early trading as it spiked sharply...
Finally a clearly profitable day. I don't want to draw any long-term conclusions from one day, but it was a pleasant change to have a few winning...
A mixed day. Feeling a bit lost. I re-read "Trading in the Zone" and am going to be spending my evenings going over my trades in detail, but am...
Heh, I was thinking exactly the same thing! I don't think I'll be able to pull it off, but I can view my indicators as contrarian :)
Frustrating day. Seemingly every trade I made went against me. I think I had one profitable trade, a few flats, and lots of losses. I'm...
As with the last few days, I've made my money in the morning and frittered it away in the afternoon. I'm still too eager to get a 0.01 profit,...
A productive day, if not a profitable one. I took some time over the break to re-read "Trading in the Zone" and even though I was zonked-out...
Swiftmike, Thanks dude, I really appreciate that. It's nice to have someone break the monotonous litany of "you suck" that's going on in my...
Third down day in a row. Spent the day chasing crap, getting stopped out before big moves which I was too skitting to buy back in for. Feels...
Another miserable day. Started off gunshy and timid, but gained confidence after a number of good, profitable trades. I took more shares and...
Steve: thanks for your insight. You've obviously read this thread and were undeterred by the striking similarity of your comments to those of...
theSnaggle, It's a complicated thing, this stoploss. At the moment, I don't have equity, so there's nothing to lose there. But I do have a...
Something for me to ponder tomorrow: overtrading. Though most NYSE stocks are open to me now, I'm trading a very restricted set based on volume...
The inevitable blowup. "Inevitable" because I have been trading more volatile stocks and haven't bothered to formalize any position sizing or...
Day started with a long string of losses. I had some idea stuck in my head about the direction of MOT and I kept trying to go long when it was...
theSnaggle, I'm getting the feeling that I've underestimated the importance of a good mentor. It has been raised several times already, and...
bastiat8, I don't think it would be hard to guess which shop I'm at, but I would rather keep the focus away from gripes about the shop which I...
