Two days in a row of doing a good job and refraining from the throwaway trades. Missed a lot of opps, but still hammering out details to my strategy. +$1,477.44 -- 108,200 shares traded Now I'm just waiting to watch the amazing consistency & nice profits of smilingsynic. Good weekend...

+$704.34 -- 69,400 shares traded -- good job not overtrading I will be posting bad trades with charts on here. I didn't really have any today. I had plenty of losers, but none outside the general course of business. Today I tried out a longer-term timeframe for my breakout/breakdown plays...

Much better efficiency today...I think I pinpointed my overtrading problem...need to repeat behavior for a few days to say that I've got it down. +$704.34 -- 69,400 shares traded

Do you trade frequently? Because if you did you would know that sometimes sharp intraday drops trigger sharper intraday drops. Keep buying it. Buy more. Buy more. It HAS to bounce. Right? It will...keep holding...until you get tapped on the shoulder. And you're done.

Sam this is sooooo true. I started trading full-time Jan 2007 and I'll say that my primary strategies have DRASTICALLY changed. Mid 2007 thru 2008 was probably (hopefully not) the best daytrading environment that I will ever experience. But in my young career, coming into 2009 was a total...

I think I remember reading about this guy in this book called "Swing Trading" and he was driving lambos around Miami. Interesting article.

Results: +$726.05; far too many shares traded Created a few problems for myself today and was able to rectify them and finish up okay for the day. I will try to start posting charts of my bad trades in the future to get some feedback from everyone. Proud of myself for taking a big loss in...

Far too much trading today, fought back to finish positive....its nice that I've fought back to finish flat-to-positive a lot frequently, but after looking at my numbers, I've been seriously overtrading and wasting money in throwaway trades. Cut out those throwaway trades and maybe less fighting...

+128.21 ... 108k shares traded...super slow day today...lost early and came back to positive.

Slowest day of the year. +128.21 -- 108k shares traded Nothing of note to talk about. May post a few trades later on, but I really just want to get away from my computer right now.

Exactly.

Nice job on the GCI short. I totally screwed that short up. I had a great entry, 2k shares. I missed the long and the short, GCI should've made my day all around today. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Nice job RW. Curious about how you decide to exit your fades? I look at the MACD 3-min crossover.

If you read my post you'll see that I said, "But when you say TA you may be talking about a ton of indicators or something like that, and if so, then you may be right." If you read any interviews from Jones or Bolling they both attribute their success to charts -- which is what I was...

This is not totally true. Paul Tudor Jones. Eric Bolling. And countless others. But when you say TA you may be talking about a ton of indicators or something like that, and if so, then you may be right. Yes, you can daytrade profitably without TA. You can also daytrade/trade...

She is a co-founder so she won't get 300 million. I'm not sure if there are VC's involved, but if so, they're certainly getting a chunk of that pie as well.

-$1244.66 on the day...141200 shares traded. Hat tip to BIG. Good think my automated had a decent day today.
