184net 4400 sticking to the basics: 1. smaller sizes 2. infallible mental stop, get back in even if I happened to get out @ the buttom
Well, after almost 3 years, and a long uphill battle, I finally have my first significant positive month and today was a good way to end it.
3200 shares/ 22 trades/ 15 cancels.... only traded spy today...caught some nice rides ...not to much pain...will take it and run...peace
+31.60 Net 3200 Shares It's not much, but I'm glad not to be negative. I was lame and kept shorting all morning. Then I was shaken out of anything I bought. I was getting pretty pissed and was close to shuttin it down. I caught a couple of decent wins to get me positive. I didn't get anything else good after the morning. Good job Casper!
+$845 for the day on 8 trades more importantly - I got up this morning and made the trades according to 'the plan' (harp music optional) --- despite the loss yesterday Pretty confident in my one simple-minded setup - and working on a second +$3724 for January on a $10K trading account $1724 taken out for fun money
Im done for the day...a little burnt out this month. A decent day today..but since I like to hold positions for hours rather than minutes, i feel i should have done better on a day like this. I will post my month end later today. Here is todays. Good j0b Casper!
