A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

Gotta have days like that to keep you humble.

Great journal.

Are you taking entries off a 3minute chart? Don't seem to see them on the 5 minute.

 

DD,
The EBAY trade was off a 2min, I use these ONLY in the a.m. ,for the 1st 10 min if I want to get into a stock VERY early.
The SKF trade I actually entered on a 5 min chart, but I got a great entry.
