    Up $8132. Briefly I was up $13K in LK but I couldn't get out due to the halts. In a halt situation, getting out on the way up is good even though it's suboptimal since it can keep going up. But i rather bank some profits rather than wait for the last halt then drop. That would have wiped out my entire gain and some. Profits aren't real until you book them.

    So close to the #FiveFigureClub! I can smell it! Can't wait to finally be there. :)

    @ironchef @Overnight @easymon1 @hhiusa Yes, daytrading can be done.

    =============

    Made $1082.92 despite having a rough sleep last night. When I'm tired , I tried not to be super actively trading. Glad to be green. $MSFT $AUY $HAL $LK.

    Lower than my recent daily P&L average. But not bad a day considering that I'm not at my optimal condition.

    Right out of the gate, I was down. Then had a series of losses in a row & down -$1000. Stopped for the morning. After collecting myself, made it all back and slightly positive in the afternoon and AH. Whew!

    Not bad for a slow day. $HAL $AUY $AMD. Traded $USO well but missed out on a huge breakout! Was on an important call(Work is costing me money! rofl.)

    Oh well. Green is good.

    $USO $HAL. Patience goes both ways for entries & exits. Though more patient than yesterday, I should have waited for right setup to enter. Must have the patience to hold onto winners. Exited too soon.
