my day trading journal

GS

tried shorting gs here, kept a tight stop. Thought I could catch a

correction.

 

ROC thats unique , nice journal

 

JCP

Great trade, other than the fact that I bought the top and had to

wait through some choppy moves, but sold the top before it

broke down.

 

grmn

Again like on GS, thought I could catch a pullback. It almost

worked, but grmn bounced and .....oh well.

 

4 trades ( 1 winners / 3 losers)

shares traded: 400

Stocks traded: JCP, GS, AAPL



average winner: 98.00

average loser: 32.66

commission: 24.00

todays P/L - 24.00

I cant even make a consistant 200.00 a day... wtF!?

 

AAPL

reason for entry: thought I'd wait for a pullback to enter aapl.

 

GS

reason for entry: Shorted because of a breakdown of support.

I almost came out with a profit..then decided to add to my short,

and as luck would have it, the damn stock bounces, evaporating

my profits.

 

JCP

thought I'd leave the best for last

reason for entry: Saw a breakout and took the trade.

Again, I made an awesome trade on JCP...AND again bought the

top, and had to wait through some corrections, but sold near the

top. Too bad my losses in GS and AAPL killed these profits.

 

how about shooting for 50.00 a day instead?

 

Sadly, I just might have too. 200.00 is reasonable, but I'm on a

losing streak right now.
