  1. Another wasted day... my usual strategies were trash today, but I managed to make 700 on IVAN up until a slow execution system caused me to lose all of what I made. :mad:

  2. Another good day after coming back from snowboarding. If I was not an idiot on some of the other plays could have made at least 7K....but oh well Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

  4. Good total here. Hectic morning, was up 3700 and lost 1500 from the top (the same way i got the money, so i was ok with it) and then was consistent and normal from then on, finishing near my high.

  10. -3318.85 on 8,200 shares

    2nd worst day ever. I started out -2000, and floated around posititive $200-$400 all day. I made a bet on aapl buying around the low of the day figuring it would beat mean eps estimates, which it did. frickin' .65 isn't enough for people, I guess. Aside from the bet, I just didn't understand anything today. Every trade I entered was solid, but every one went the wrong way.

    Any suggestions on what I should do? It's been two months since I've made any real money, and I'm not doing anything really different. Should I step back or go balls to the wall? I'm not depressed, just confused as to why I'm not succeeding. One thing I will do is step down my share size again tomorrow, if I trade that is. 200 shares at a time, no more.

    My account is of nearly 10g's from my peak in late november. With taxes coming up, I need to start putting back some cash. PM me if you have any idears :(
