I've been a full-time trader for four years Sam. I read a quote in the Psychology forum that NoDoji posted a week or two ago about trading your plan and I'll tell you that it's one of the most insightful things I've ever read about trading. It really hit home for me. I'll have to check out his...

86,000 shares traded; +272.77 Traded well in the morning although I was a little unfocused due to some company I had at my home. That's the worst. Either way, I lost focus and its my own fault. I accidentally went to check on a stock that I traded towards the end of the day and looked at...

It's only one o in losing btw. If you understand that losing is a part of the game and you want to become good at taking small losses, why did you pass on a signal after a winning trade because you were afraid of losing money?

This is among the worst reasoning I've ever seen. I don't have time to go over why this stuff is so wrong and more importantly, so situation-specific.

Yesterday's results....sorry for the late post 122,200 shares traded; $2175.58 in profits Did a good job today taking good breakouts -- still missed a few, but I have to accept the fact that it's going to happen. I think the key difference in my trading yesterday was that I totally...

Been flat over the past few days. Lost a total of about -$240. Really have been focusing upon taking my breakout trades and remaining disciplined. I think yesterday was my tipping point when I exited my XOM trade for the wrong reasons and missed a huge opp to make some really good money...

This week, I'm looking for the market to follow-thru on the downside or follow-thru on the upside to get some idea about market direction. If we're going to selloff, I expect to see heavy distribution within the next few days. The market has held a heavy bid every time we've tried to...

I like Joel Osteen and enjoy watching his message on Sundays. He has a positive message that seeks to uplift people. He doesn't take any personal profits from his large church btw.

I'm reposting this post from NoDoji in another thread into my own journal because it's such a great statement. I cut a few things out...but the entire statement is so very true.

I've done that far too many times over the course of my career.

+1 Great jewels of wisdom throughout that post.

Nice trading today. I've just started trading breakouts myself. I like how long you hold your positions. You have an interesting approach on adding at higher (or lower) levels as the stock progresses -- I've actually thought about that but I'm not sure I could manage that because sometimes...

+ $1262.27 today - 155,200 shares traded - traded okay today; was a little skittish with my new approach to trend trading; found myself heavily long in the morning and saw the breakdown and started looking for shorts. - learned that I need to not give back .50 cent profits in my winners...
