Top In Place !! Ok. I was up ~ $1600 and guess what? I blew it What can I say i'm just not that intrested in the markets anymore (for the time being). I predicted a short from 677.5 to 672.0. Did I follow my own advice? No. Net Profit = $102.40 Account balance = $ 9132.60 ozzy
** Did not trade last Friday. ** Will not be able to trade this Wednesday. ** Will not be able to trade the open today. I have been fooling around the last few weeks. I'm going to try my best to focus this week and get in the right mind set. The markets have been great and breaking even is not going to cut it. I will also be putting some real money into play by buying some index options (puts). ozzzy
Ok: I made several mistakes once again. I would have been better off working at Mcdonalds today. Net Profit = $14.80 Account Balance = $9147.40 Some observations ------------------------- ** Money/Risk Management is improving ** Psychology/Mindset not there yet ** Overal I rank my trading 5 out 10. Lots of room to improve. ** Bought some "real" IWM puts this morning around 11:20 AM holding for multiple days (This is the only good thing I did today). ozzy
Today's Positions: P.S my PC clock slides. The time of the trades are off. I think you have to add +5 minutes to get the real time for the trade.
Hi All: ** Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been moving all week and tying up some loose ends. ** My condo has finally closed and I can move on with my life. All furniture has been sold or moved to storage. ** Plan is to move to Whistler, Canada next week. I burned one ticket 1 month ago this time I will be going for certain. ** Will not be trading actively for the next few months. Plan is to get back in shape. Something I let slide the last few years. ** I will post again in the future. I would like to show people that you can blow out and still come back. Plus I love trading and can not see myself doing anything else (for the time being). ** When I hit 7 figures again I'll take a snapshot of my account balance for all to see ** Time to live a balanced life. Peace and Good Luck to all. ozzy
good trading ozzy, I hope you come back trading soon, theres lots to be learn and it takes time, lets go back to 1 lot zone and WORK IT! A man standing at his job for 12 months straight and studies studiously will get something out of it if he keeps refining his techniques everyday, its just a matter of if he can stand there for 12 months straight. Good luck buddy
Greetings: I have set up shop temporarily in Whistler Canada. One of my 21" Samsung 213T was damaged during shipment and my motherboard was damaged a few days prior to my departure. I actually ordered a DELL XPS GEN5 PC but during the process I got annoyed with the salesman so I cancelled the order. Instead I spent $150 for a motherboard replacement and now everything is as good as new and I saved 3K in the process Trading will commence next week. Carpe Diem ozzy
