  2. Very slow day, although I'll take it for a Friday... had some fun scalping MSFT & ORCL, since I had nothing better to do. Good weekend all!

  3. Great day again! Did 10g's for the week, making this my best week by quite a bit. Great action and good risk control today.

  4. Well, at least this crappy week is over. I need to chill out and be more selective about my trades.

  5. Not a bad day - man Nasdq keeps going up and I always get creamed on longs, I hate trending markets, choppiness and volatility is what I like.

    Anyway for a Friday ill take it.

    too many short selling not working for me today. also terrible exits for good trade (short MNST and IMCL) and also terrible exits for bad trades. if I dont know how to exit, why not simply follow my rules to exit at market close for all good or bad, in that ways I could quatrupled my gain. The thing happened twice this week. i need do some work on this.

  9. Interesting thread. I didn't read the original thread yet.

    A couple of questions:

    - Is this only for equities traders? It seems like the majority are in equities.

    - What is the benefit of posting your P&L? What is the drawback?

    Just curious.

    If this isn't the right place to post questions, please ignore this post and the moderator will delete it.
