Record of my Trades

Hello BBroken,

Thanks. I have been trading for about 25 years with some profitable and some not. I changed my trading style in 2002 and that made a lot of difference. Books like Tom Demark helped a lot as well.

Its a work in progress and thats why I post my trades. As I have become more comfortable with my signals I have increased the size of the trades.

I would not feel comfortable with any less than 30K with this style and it requires the account to be approved for PDT.

With this strategy I have always had more than 28K to trade with but I also traded less size than I do now.

I have used other strategies with less capital without success (due to my personality and not other reasons). I am currently working on a trend following strategy that could use a lot less money and hopefully will not need to daytrade but thats probably another month out before actual money is used and it gets posted here.

Somewhere along this thread is a more full theory behind my madness...

Best of trading to you

Having the market down today sure was a welcome sight with taking LEAP short home with me last night.

Ended up to be a good trade.

The biggest thing today was RMBS, while I did trade it two times today the second one was the most interesting.

around 2pm cst the chart jumped up and it moved about 30% or five bucks on the chart. very fast and large move. I faded the move and ended up with the best trade of the day.

Boring day in a good way. Super way to end the week with a nice profit.

Only one real trade and one that I pushed though with a gut feeling. Both turned out well.

Have a great weekend everyone !!!
