Day 2 Those of you who read "Trade your way to financial freedom" by Van Tharp might remember him saying: What's important to trading: 1 system (entries and exits) - 10% 2 money management - 30% 3 psychology - 60% I think most of us aware that huge part in succeeding in trading is...

I believe you are referring to me in your above comment. Yep, SWM loss was due to position size and bad risk/mental control. Hope people will learn from this, I sure did :)

Day 1 After giving it some thought I've decided to restart my day count again. My goal is to go 30 days without breaking my rules and I'll do it for as long as it takes. Traded well today, followed my plan. +366 +4294 week Have a great weekend everyone!

Day 7 I didn't trade well today. It started with not trading ZUMZ and then other trades, that was my biggest weakness today, not taking every trade. Then I traded TIVO and I didn't let it to go to my target which made me leave about $500 in profits. But the good news is that I'm trading...

Day 7 Slow day today after first hour of trading. I had several signals at the same time and therefore couldn't trade them all, I’m still working on that. Also I tent to cut my targets a bit when I have 3-4 open positions because it's hard to closely watch them all at the same time. Not...

No I didn't trade NUVA unfortunately. I rarely trade after first 2-3 hours on Friday, seems like things slow down quite a bit before weekend. I was in the office but stepped out for 10 min and came back couple minutes too late. Lesson learned: I'm adding sound to my scanners so when stocks like...

Nice UAUA trend trade bigpapi. For me, it gave an oversold signal from the daily chart so I was shorting it on the way up.

Day 4 Traded well toady. Once I was in the trade I wasn't emotional about it wether it's a gain or loss. I was very pleased to notice that I truly didn't care about money today. I didn't care that it was end of the month also (I used to trade small or skip trades at the end of the month to...

Day 3 I was a bit off today, just tired. I didn't break my rules (I know better than that by now) I was too slow and not focused enough to make trades. As a result I missed several good entries and didn't want to chase it. TSL, HOC and ESV come to mind. So I stopped trading, tomorrow is...
