  4. Two more:

    TDW

    02/17/06 11:50:00 BOUGHT TDW Market Day Executed @ 54.06

    02/17/06 11:58:00 BOUGHT TDW Market Day Executed @ 54.039

    I can't let my previous fumbles mess up my thought process for swings.

    Swings = Big dollar gains, Focus.

    Focus Focus.

    Bad trading earlier today really,

    Steve,
    You were right, that execution earlier on TDW was wrong.


    I want in TDW because I believe today is the start of a mini trend,
    With energy,

    I may be wrong but thats how it goes.

    Stop setting is kind of odd but I have great confidence in this position.

    Problem earlier was :

    I did not follow my normal "ENTRY" methods.
    GREED KILLS, I Wanted IN because I wanted to PROFIT ,
    But IN CAN'T BE IN when I have a 10 cent stop lost and its downtrending. Its going to run the stops no matter what I think.



    You try to disregard daytrading entries with swing trading "I want ins" you end up with a disaster. well a small one.

  9. New rule:

    1 entry / 1 symbol from now on.

    I did 4 symbols today

    3 all made money within 1st entry

    TDW gamed with my money all day.
    And I was dumb enough to be playing with him all day,

    Better usage of time could be pyramiding into profitable positions

    instead of running around with the retard specialists trying to fake/fade daytraders.


    Drop the unruly child, Cherish the good child.
    Less stress.
    More money made.

    Less retarded coolweb.

  10. Sold 1/2 TDW 54.03

    it'll probably go up , but I have bigger size, and I don't want to unload when theres nobody to catch,

    -> Exited all @ 54.00 (-.05)


    Good lesson today, cost me a K but great lesson.

    I now have no more time to deal with gamers.

    Its either go up, or get the fk out of my portfolio.
