  6. +6.10 Net
    2600 Shares

    This week has been frustrating. I gave back a bunch of my profits, again. I was up over 100 and then went negative 50 for a while and now got back positive. Also, had software issues all morning and had to watch Esignal for my quotes because my level 2 was lagging. I'm pissed off and I'm shutting it down for the week before I do something stupid.

  9. +1275

    Record day for me but was tortured to death to get there. Today was the first day tears actually came out of my eyes. Manipulation all over. What a shame. I was right in every single trade but got played. Here's a list of all the trades I got f*u*k*d in today:

    1. bot ma at 100 in the morning, held for 30 minutes and a second after I sell, it hits 101.

    2. bot nyx at 99 on the pull back. Held for 23 minutes and right after I sell, it breaks out.

    3. So I jump back in at the highs at 100.80-90...It falls 50 cents immediately. I get out for a loss and then its at 102.

    4. bot gpn at 40.07 3000 shares and there was a supporting bid of 25,000. All I wanted was 15 cents. it goes up 1 cent and stops and drops and starts taking out the supporting bid. In the mean time ma is going up. Guess what? I am out of buying power. I have to sell gpn to the supporting bid. I sell to buy ma. Then gpn is at 40.40, while ma is going against me!!

    At this point I punched through my screen. There goes 200 bucks..

    Then i caught 1500 shares of ma for a point. Even that didn't go up easily..I buy 1000, it drops 25 cents. I buy more(suicide attempt) and it went up eventually..Could have saved my screen if it only happened 2 minutes earlier.

    Am I the only one that goes through this torture? If so, then it just might be because I STINK at this!
