+ $112 Experimenting a bit today gave my broker some extra commission $$, but at least I learned something
Today: +$700.37 2 trades 1000 shares of DRYS for $20.37 2000 shares of DRYS for $680 Still trying to get my entry timing down - I only trade for 1.5 hours in the morning before work 2-4 days/week, so i've got to get it right first thing.
Don't get me wrong I love that 18.5K and would sleep with it if I could. I am upset because I got lucky and in this business getting lucky is not a proper way to stay alive. On a side note, after my initial mini falling apart, I smoke two cigs. calmed down and went back to work. End result was 21.4K. The second half was more disciplined. HAPPPY!
hello everyone, i'm a newbie, still a trainee...if you don't mind, i'll join you here...here's my first blotter... $18.61... nice week-end to all of you...
At the end of November, I withdrew $118,000 from my account which left me with $3,000 in my account. I still use the $118,000 for margin requirements though. It's more of a psychological thing. I trade better when I don't think I have a lot of money backing me up. Anyway: Last week I lost about $800 bringing my account down to around $2000. This week: up about 30k or so. Pretty good month so far, but I'm looking for 100k so I have a lot of work to do.
