    Not looking like 2003 wants to pick up anytime soon. The only highlight so far has been my OPG strategy which is up 9 days out of the last 11.

    What used to be a good profit for one trade is now a good day for me... but I guess I'll just have to adapt. Looking forward to tomorrow.

    This is not a great month so.(but much better than december) If I can make 3-5 grand I will consider it a big victory. Just have to stay consistent and not have any blow ups.

    Need to pull the trigger more. I watched PQE open down 4 bucks and I didn't buy anything. I used to be all over those big gaps.

    My open strategy is up 12 days out of 14 so far(86%). So I need to get my shares up and take advantage of it.But more important I need to find some opportunities after 9:45.

    This was my slowest week in months. I was playing very small just trying to get my confidence back up. Next week I will increase my position size a little.

    Looking forward to next week.

    Was down a few hundred off the open with OPG strategy. Had to find a few decent trades to get flat for the day. I consider days like this a victory.

    Making back money sometimes feels better than making money.

    bad day. Covered DOW and LMT too early. Also managed to turn a decent gain into a loss with MON.

    Shorted MON off the open and added to my position at 18.4(screwed up my avg price) and then overstayed my welcome.(squeezed)

    nuf sed....need to take profits quickly. If I leave money on the table...so be it.

    My first decent day in weeks. Take the money and run. With my trading style, days like this are important. Its all relative... to some this is a bad day, and to some a great day. Right now I am looking to make 200-500 each day and every week or so score a 1000-2000 day. And maybe once a month 3000+ day. This all helps my avg. My problem used to be trying to make 1000 plus every day. BUT the most important goal of my strategy is NO BIG LOSSES. Losing money is part of this game... but most of my big losses started small and got out of hand. I tried the swing game and it aint for me. I would rather make a little everyday.

    In baseball... basehits wins championships.

    In football... defense wins championships.
