  3. wow, great journal.

    you are almost at your 50% return

    i noticed that you make more trades now then when you first started, is it because you have more money that you do this?

    i also noticed that your still cutting losses at ~$214

    are you still repeating those 4 patterns that you said you were always trying to exploit or have you changed strategies? the market is very different from the beginning of the year.

    how do you plan on trading this earnings season, which is already causing knee jerk reactions in the first innings?

    keep up the great work

    * I had to keep logging off of trading for work, so I traded the rest of the day on my own account....no shorts, all longs....was a good day.
