first time posting in this thread dec5: had a wonderful time trading CPN for it's last day on the NYSE. net $500. dec6: seemed to get in on the good action in nortel in the busy times in the morning and afternoon. took a $120 loss in lucent and nearly smashed my monitor. i'm new and still have to work the loss-rage out. net will be approx $400.
+451 Bad day of trading. Tried to work on other projects and missed entering orders. Arghhhh........I've learned my lesson........again.
Finally had a winning day. I stopped after giving some back to the market because I wanted a psychological victory after these past two weeks of pain. Trades that happened above 1260 on the S&P index futures were my downfall. After it broke down, life was good again. ;-) +$99. Quitting early to make me feel like I'm back on track.
2nd post, accidentally posted my daytrading account value. At any rate, decent day for trading 3 hours today.
