Hey I did the best I can. The files were so big so I re-saved them as gif but now you cant really see them. The first pic is a bigtime trader celebrating after a good day. Then my screenshot and then Joey's. I'm getting a digital camera soon and will take some pics of my cool new office. And some more pics of my dog , Chico. Dam , it's cold in the north east this morning. Soon the snow will be here and it'll be time for first tracks.
Ya ive heard its some big time trader also....the word is he was celebrating after shorting a bunch of contracts last week...but that could just be a rumor
10-2-03 Pretty crappy day for me....sticking to plan, market just not giving me what i want Cant complain...keeping stops, and nothing killing me. This morning started out with a beutiful not meant to be taken trade (gotta love those) i was stalking PLCM to the upside...had my order in and finger on the trigger, but i must of drank to much coffee and accidently clicked my mouse... low and behold i got filed way away from market...so i sold quick, and ended up losing .20 on it. Didnt exactly make my day... Then the market was looking weak, so i sold my AMZN swing at 48.88 (-.27) so ya...great setup, but ya..im a pussy. Im nto going to take swing trades till i got the daytrading thing down..and i will also get a new account..i cant watch thses things intradya...im thinking like a daytrader to much. But anyways..everyione look at AMZN...held up very nice today...DOPE!! I took AHO long at 10.35...this stock sucks...its got no range at all...i got out at .33 after i decided it wasnt going to move much. i took PKTR long this afternoon at 14.95, got out at .86 after it decided not to do anything either. I also took CMVT long at 16.39..got out at .44 hen it didnt have any momo behind it. I need to really learn when to trade and when not to..im getting much better at it...but i still have lots to learn. This wont be a profitable week unless i make some good money tomorrow...but i keeping to my rules, and my loses arent huge. grossed -$97.00 today on 1600 shares.
10-03-03 Well a very slow narrow day today other than lastt hour. That huge gap ruined they intraday action, but thats par for the course. Id like start with pointing out the fact that if i would of held my AMZN swing i would be up like 4 poiint in 2 days ....shit happens...im not ready for swing trading right now. I would like to get into it more in the future though. Will prolly get a different account for it though. Also i was going over each of my trades, and ive noticed i have quite a few loses between .01-.05. These were all nasdaqs that were suppose to breakeven trades, but due to the fact i donthave nasdaq stops its been hurting me. Thats the wonder of keeping god stats in your trading...you can find lil things like that that will help your trading. So all newer traders out there...KEEP GOOD STATS!!!!! Ok my trades for the day... I took SEBL long after the open at 11.28 and took profits at 11.40. Nice gap up and stayed strong first few minutes, so took the long on the breakout. I also took AMZN long at 51.19 on the breakout the first few minutes, same type of trade as SEBL. took some profit at 51.52, and 51.27. Made some money on Amazon..its my revenge for getting rid of the swing lol...:eek: I took FHCC short at 26.03 ...didnt do much so jumped out at .01...made a couple pennies. Took UTX long at 81,82. It has a very nice base formed on the gap up. took some profit at 82.57, and stopped out the rest at 82.33. This was a very nice trade and i managed it perect. Need more trades liek this. reason i managed it good is cause i have stops. Stops help alot with the emotion in my trading. that is why my nasdaq wins arent as large as my NYSE trades. I took XMSR short at 15.79 when teh market started to get weak into afternoon. It went my way about .08 and then i just put in a BE stop cause ididnt want to risk much. Ended up taking my BE stop and then fell Best day ever today... grossed +$174.41 today on 1800 shares. Weeks stas : +49.61 on 9700 shares. Small Net lose for week. Not a big deal. I keep getting told to look long term and not week to week..one of those things i need to get over. But stayed alive this week. Everyone have a great weekend!!!!! GO TWINS!!!!
What's the commissions do you pay? Can you enter the sizes? I found these two very important, addition to the entry point and money management. I trade small sizes, and get to hook to positions longer. Commissions can simply kill your profits, aren't them?
