Bad day for my usual methods... not enough follow-through, and too much chop for my liking to do some scalps. Goal next month, keep losing days below -$100...
Not a bad day - calling it quits now. Volume very choppy and Nas Total View messed up. Mad crosses and messed up data is a sure fire way of losing money. Cheers
took it a little easy today cause its nearing the end of the month and had enough losing days this month. intel had a nice range adn sunw was pretty good till it screwed me for a one cent loser with 60,000 shares. but good day
+508 on 20,600 shares open = $3200 LEND was my big one today. Once again, I was holding something as Cramer mentioned it on "Stop Trading." I was in LEND around 52.29, and it was doing a nice break-out-then-hold-the-9-minute-SMA pattern to about $52.80 or so. Soon as Cramers bald head appeared and he said, "L-E-N-D," it shot up to $53.50! I made a quick $900 on it. Same thing happened last week on AMGN, if you recall. I had a couple of bad trades, especially ERTS. The entry was good, but I just didn't exit where I should have. One more shoulda-coulda-woulda. My commissions were lowered, once again, so I'm able to scalp pennies now without having to worry so much, so that's the reason for the increase in small trades w/ profits under $4 MXIM - I don't know how I ended up long 100, but it turned out. I guess I didn't get filled for the 200 shares short, and when I covered, well, there it is.
Holy Smokes Nice Nice Day Szeven, those are fantastic numbers, one for the record books. Great work Toast to you my friend!!!!!!!!!!
