Hey guys, I've put together a checklist for me because these last few months have been extremely difficult for me (trading and otherwise). Let me know what you think about this, and please make suggestions if you have any.

$298.00 on 5200 shares better today, but my position size is creeping up again. Modified that strategy to get the stop a little looser. First to trades on LRCX were really itchy, and I wasn't paying attention to my rules. I'm off to Orlando to visit a shop. Excited from some nice weather!

Attached are the stats for this month. Reflections: This month was terrible for me emotionally, and it can be seen in my trading. While I was fairly successful at not FEELING emotionally affected during trading, I find it difficult to think that bad trades + bad mood = coincidence. A rules...

$12.00 on 400 shares Made one trade in between classes. Nothing exciting. I'll post my analysis of last month and goals for this month in a few minutes.

bit, look at the date. I figured that long long ago. But thanks! I was just replying to the spammer

I'd rather tool erin or becky

that's great for you

yeah, it's crazy how these stocks would jump. Could traders who took advantage of these possible manipulations get in trouble from the sec?

JC is involved in market manipulation? noooooooo. Has anyone ever seen the action stocks he mentions on "stop trading?" They jump .60 to 1.50 sometimes just as he's talking about it!

$120.00 on 1,000 shares one trade today - larger size than usual. I just dropped in to see what the market was doing and I couldn't pass it up. However, I have a HUGE macroecon take home final exam to finish, and it's finally above 60 here in the South. Therefore, I'm going to the park to...

-859 on 4300 shares low volume, but I tried a modification to an old strategy today. Stupid part was tightening the stop in the strategy. I was initially right, had I the balls to hold on about 10 more cents, I would have recognized the reversal and not gone short. Stupid stupid me. It's...

strictly equities

kudos to you. I carry as well. Not everyone who carries is a redneck.

I used to like AAPL, too - but I can't seem to get a hold of it lately LRCX is pretty fun

just another stupid comment if one is making that much a day, you most likely didn't start there. You had the $200/day, $500/day, $1000/day, etc. periods therefore, you'd have a head start before you started making $50k a day. these guys are few and far between, I'd wager

well, I don't feel like reading a bunch of crap on here, but I'll add my $.02 Joeyata can back me up on this if he wants. I went to ATL to visit a firm down there, and there was this guy who reportedly makes $100,000 a day on good days, but usually around $30k-$50k. I'm going to visit a...

I think we'll see a rebound off of the 50 day EMA. I'm not playing, but good luck.

-19.36 on 8862 shares Roller coaster afternoon. Was down 40, up 80, ugh. I was short AMGN into the close, but I had to dump it at a loss because I got greedy. Was short at .63, my goal was .55, but it went to .52, decided to hold. Covered at .69 = stupid me! Practice acct wasn't so...

$109.00 on 5,800 shares Had to get my mind off of school for a while, so I put in some time. Put some time into the practice acct, too ($840 on 2000 shares, although it was all from an exit on a swing trade). Traded pretty cautiously.

true. I agree the specific market is looking hairy - plus oil and bernake, but hell....
