  1. Decided to post consistently for a week or two...

    Bad start for the week, -800. Haven't had a good feel for the market last few days as many of my trades have been reversing consistently. CME got me scaling in an then a nice sharp turn downwards :)

    I'll try to post every day for this week.

    Today was very slow, only traded 68,000 shares. Netted only a few hundred dollars, but I'm pretty happy with that considering I was down $3,500 30 minutes into the day with no apparent way out.

    I too will try and post consistently as anyone can have a reasonable day once in a while.

    Today was quite easy S/R stuff and I don't expect the rest of the week to be as kind.

    I'm posting mainly to try and break a pattern of +.+.+.---.+.+.+.+.--.+.++ etc. i.e. my discipline is apt to fail every few days for no apparent reason and really eat into carefully won profits.

    Net c$700

  4. another small losing day, namely because of my fault trying to out trade a strategy. never seem to win when i "think". was unable to send orders in the other 2 accounts, per software issues.

  6. Well... our server went down again, guessing we will see quite a few blotters early.

    Anyways, pretty disappointed. Should have been up at least $500 before 10:45, but lost focus a few times and took a few hammers.

    Taking the rest of the day off to run some errands :(

  7. well good start to the morning got a little scared when the system went down I was long 25000 Ford at 7.40, and it looked real sketchy managed to get H.O. to scratch it for me, still waiting to see if we will be back up or not.

    Another adventure in life as a trader for Swifttrade

    :D

    just got an extra 700$ added to my blotter this rules, free money!!

    +2100 now:D :D :D

    This pretty much proves trading is not zero sum i just created 700$ out of thin air

  8. Had my worst trading since October of last year, this loss wipes out by month down to the penny.

    Very disheartening and dissapointing when you look at your blotter and 5 out of 5 positions are losers and getting worse by the minute.

    Classic case of fear taking over and getting out on 3 positions a the low of the day.

    Oh well..........thats trading in a nutshell
