Ditto...I began trading small lots (50-100 shares) myself. Decided to take it slow, real slow. I ended October positive (+$25, whoo-hoo!), but lost money throughout the year. I'll try and post here as frequently as I can. People on this forum have been very helpful and supportive in the past and I've always enjoyed reading P/Ls Anyways, today, I only traded 150 shares, but ended -$57. Can't seem to trade QID very well. Couple more losing trades and it's off the list!
I thought I'd share my recent trade results with you folks on here... Oct 27th (Mon) Oct 28th (Tue) Oct 31st (Fri) Nov 3rd (Mon) Chart/commentary for Nov 3rd (Mon)
-1712.5808 shorted got burned .... cut ... longed the pullback went against me and again cut .... reshorted the high and it broke cut again ..... saw a hard pullback shorted again and cut .... and thats it .....
What a nice morning... $1,300 with only five (5) minutes of exposure to the market. Trade analysis here As a general rule, I like closing out my trades the same day they're executed, to minimize market risk.
Another failure: -$83 2 trades, both befroe 11AM - went Long on NIHD and shorted T. both reversed almost immediately. Good thing I only use 100 shares at a time.
