  1. NoDoji

    NoDoji

    + $96

    Also, tag teamed with my IB-based husband shorting UAUA rallies for a $500 gain, not posted here though. Left money all over that table bickering about best entry points, ha! :p

  6. Wasn't a very good day. I had a few opportunities to close out a few trades at over $100 profit, but I let them go for a bit, and they turned around on me. This was it for the day, but I'm holding a bit overnight again.

  8. I’ve been a lurker here (and other forums) for a long time. Finally got my own account and thus my first post here.

    Still trying to get the hang of trading. Started up again the summer of 2007 after losing much during the Internet bubble of 1999-2001. Took me three months to lose 3k last year (my limit). Started up again trading again over the past several months. However, due to my full time job (often 10-14 hrs a day, six days a week for short spells), I can only watch the futures market for an hour before I’m out the door.

    Fifteen of my last 17 trades have been winners but I don’t hang on long enough. My one and only trade today got me $20. If I had stayed a few minutes more it would have been $200. Many stories like that.

    I know this is long but just wanted to give some background. I find this forum inspiring. I, and I’m sure many others, dream of being one of the regular contributors who, due to experience, hard won knowledge, and perseverance, make the hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands each day. Hope to be one of you some day soon.
