Don't read my diary

  1. You're swing trading some pretty volatile stocks with a big chunk of your account that's running close to the PDT limit. I'd recommend you switch to Interactive Brokers and trade smaller, which is cheaper to do at $1 a trade. And you'll probably find it a lot less stressful trading $1000 or so worth of shares versus $5000.

  2. Unless your last name is "Jolie" and you will be providing photos, I'll think I'll skip your journal :p

  3. It has not worked EVERY time, just 3 times. You need to learn the difference when trading.

    god, girls do like to write their hearts out. you better have an a/c atleast at 30-35K. cause if you fall below 25K in value, your positions will be sold at undesirable prices. plus your a/c might get frozen.

    i dont think iv ever seen girls blog here. got any pics?

    can you post some charts, it's hard to see what you are seeing without any picture.

    So far I've done it on paper 3 times and it's worked every time.

    Just so you guys know, I'm not stupid - I do know about odds and percentages. I found this system on thestreet.com where they backtested it over several years and found that it works about 90% of time. I'm just saying that I've been trying it myself on paper and it seems to work while I'm actually following along. A system is only good if you can do it yourself and make your own judgements while a trade is playing out.

    Guess I should be more critical of how I write things or you guys will trash everything I say.

    Thank you for the advice. I'll consider this when I go back to actual trading. I'm only paper trading for now until I get my confidence back.
