got cleaned out by intel in the last 5 minutes when the stock dropped 5 cents on me without printing any of the numbers imbetween.......i love when that happens.....
Terrible day again, and my slump continues. Made a lot of other people rich today, over 1100 in fees and garbage. Just cant make a dime these days, not losing a bunch i just suck ass.
Well, looks like everyone had a pretty crappy day, and I'm no exception. Was happy to just be around breakeven... At least I got in some practise on some new stuff
-859 on 4300 shares low volume, but I tried a modification to an old strategy today. Stupid part was tightening the stop in the strategy. I was initially right, had I the balls to hold on about 10 more cents, I would have recognized the reversal and not gone short. Stupid stupid me. It's a good thing my swing trades are going the correct direction, finally.
made 500 and change today, bit more than half of what i lost on friday. one more day like this and i can be even for 3 days yay!
I'm disgruntled and done for the day. I had written on my calendar that the FOMC meeting was today, so I was convinced it would be so slow and choppy yesterday and today. I avoided trades and used stops that were way too tight. If I traded according to my normal system and style I would have made at least $600 in the last two days combined. Instead, I made about $30. Today, I managed to lose money on SPLS long and only made 3 cents on EBAY short. I am even more pissed because I just noticed I messed up since the meeting is at the end of March not February. I wrote it on the wrong month! Oh well, at least I didn't lose money. Also, I started at the shop I'm at in September of 2005. I've sucked for months. Finally, a net positive month!
