up $80 bucks faded the opening gap for 380 then gave 300 back learning how to set stops around pivots --- 'learning means 2 losing trades - 1 short , 1 long' pivots is harder than gaps p/l is littered with cancels - cause I am still figuring out how the tos order system works hmmm - maybe I ought to paper trade to figure 'that' part out ya think?
-45.51 15260 total lack of discipline. period. by 9:48est, I was down almost 500$, mostly on SMG. man... that was some stupid doubling-down action on SMG and the bottom fell right off that was stupid. what an idiot! i need to re-read & proof read my trading plan.
Final settlement for 01/28/00 updated to $108.00 *** While I'm still working out and fine tunning the brokerage commission fees with the NT calculations, today's PnL is closer to the mark. Took early opportunities and then sat back and watched the market trade in a tight range while attending a NT orientation session. Done for the day, don't like "throwing'em back". Total for 01/29/08: $138.50
only three real trades for the day and one 'practice trade' with TS still short a couple of GE puts that are about $10 in the green made $10 trading SOV on my TS account. I need to trade 5000 shares/month to keep the platform free. did three 100 share trades and it turns out that is three day trades. the TS acct has less than 25K in it so I have to manage to get 5000 shares traded within the non daytrading rules. +824 for the day +923 for the week + 8342 for the month /yr
