icymonsters, If you read where I began as a trader, I used to use Scottrade. Their commission was $7 but I was able to talk them down to $6 per trade. I now use Lightspeed where I can trade for example 300 shares at 0.0045 cents per share so that would be basically around $3 or less to get in...

Very disappointed today. It started out as a good day. At some point early I was up a decent amount without a loss. However, I simply cannot shake the chasing. Made one bad trade that erased much of the gains. My punishment is that I will not be allowed to trade the rest of the day. +70...

You're not stupid. Everyone has their own way of investing or trading. The end goal is to just make money. 1.) My broker which is Lightspeed is one of the cheapest out there. The reason for trading stocks around $100 is because my rate is per share basis. So if I do low priced stocks for...

It's going to be a tough road back to where I was before Friday's loss. I still seem to scalp out way to much. I can't handle the anxiety of waiting for the trade to develope. I did a lot of trades in consolidation phases. At times, I felt like chasing the price, but ultimately I backed...

-645 Really bad day.. all my old habits came back. I told myself not to chase the prices and I did. I was trading TSLA again and the high price movement got me. I lost all discipline today. It's odd after days of non-losing, I wondered when my losing day will come. Everything could've...

Really a frustrating day today. I saw some opportunities and could not bring myself to get in. I think trading TSLA early where the large price movement had me worried. I just opted to get out with a scalp. This set the tone for today, as I could not bring myself to do much. I have a...

Just finished the gig I had to do and got in a last minute trade when I just got back. Just for lunch money or lunch money discount. Not much to see here but it's better than nothing or loss since I really wasn't supposed to do any trading today. I took advantage of the choppiness toward...

Win 1 +29 BIDU Short 173.52 Cover 173.358 I woke up from a nap and did another quick scalp while the trading system is operating. I really just wanted to get in and out. There was a large spread on this stock and got out fast. It actually kept going down but I really didn't have too...

Wins 3 +171 CVX Short 114.73 Cover 114.50 Short 114.56 Cover 114.51 Short 114.54 Cover 114.51 I waited for the pullback on this. My guess was correct. I could have covered for less but psychologically I hate waiting . I am an impatient trader mostly because I don't like the anxiety of it...

Win 1 +27 GD Short 107.34 Cover 107.24 This was a position that I had left over from yesterday that I refused to give up. The prices went against me for quite a while. Just wanted out. I'm really psychologically burned out from the trading for this week. Gonna just call it a day. Need to...

For 2/20/14 Wins 2 +81 GS Short 164.39 Cover 164.25 Quick Scalp. GD Short 107.22 Cover 107.09 I really do a poor job of waiting for the best entry prices. I made a poor calculation for trying to guess the top of the early move up which made me hold the bag for a while and the...

Took a big gamble on TSLA today. This stock is high risk, high reward. It's especially hard to sitting through the price drop during the day while my broker doesn't allow much holding of this stock over night or I'd get in trouble. It was especially hard to sit through the trend down day...

Nothing really today to report other than I was trading sluggo WMT. I'm not going to trade that thing again. Prices barely move so made enough to cover juice. Pretty much worked to hand the broker juice today. Wins 3 Losses 1 +4 Short WMT 75.19 Cover 75.23 Somehow I was...

Ahh.. after years So in a nut shell, I lost the most in 2012. I had a -33% draw down in my account. In 2013, I had another -13.6% draw down. This year, so far it's -5.6% and we're in February. But I do believe I have turned the corner. This year will probably end up being positive...

Do you have a chart of your trades? Just curious what you're doing. You remind me of when I started. I did a ton of trades, some for +2 literally even. Quantity does not equal Quality. You need to focus on searching for a quality setup. If the criteria is not there, don't take it. High...

Just curious, do you have losing trades? Or are you just posting winning trades only?

I don't know but this is an interesting article from some guy that was at M&N Trading in Newport. I would like to be back in OC or SD but judging from this guy's article, kind of sounds like a sink or swim place without much teaching. Just sounds like someone volunteering their services...

I've traded GS for a while. I'm used to it. It's just a trading vehicle. With my commission which is per share basis, it makes sense to do a 100 dollar stock. I've traded SPY too before amongst others. GS moves more than SPY does. Also I've traded GS long enough to know that one tick on GS...

Probably another lie.. you're probably going to watch all week hoping for a loss so you can jerk yourself off. I will posting here alright and most likely posting to the new topic. I might do weekly updates of my trade activity or monthly (haven't fully decided yet) but not in the same...

Why would this be embarrassing for me? People who know me know I stand for conviction. Due to lies and distortions you made here already, you on the other hand whose credibility is highly questionable. Your friends who think it's acceptable to act the way you do are probably a bunch or...
