I'm at HLV Capital in New York City. I'm actually trading 1500 shares a trade. I think they call it scalping.

whoa. Well, I made $47 and spent $63 making it. I really missed out this morning. It seemed as though I just couldn't get filled. Maybe I wasn't trading to the best of my ability......but then again this is my 3rd week trading. Geez, out of all the past sessions, I've only been profitable...

DAMMIT!! Bush may win the stupid election. I hate that bastard. Either way, I have to remember what's important here. Keep watching the prints, identify and remember significant reference points, and trade only when I see an edge.

Wow. What a roller coaster! At about 1pm today the markets sold off......you better believe that I got burned. I was up $56 before then and now at the close, I'm down $56! I spent $65 doing it. What a screwed up day!

Hey guys, Well, today is election day! I don't think that today will be any better than yesterday, but I'm hoping for the best. I think that today will be light on volume and flat for most of the session.

hey guys, Well, the action wasn't great today because of tomorrow's election. It's about 15 min before the close and I made $15 and spent about $35. Either way it was a shitty day for the market.

Hey guys, Well, I had a good weekend and I feel good about today's session. I know to keep my eyes on the prints in a "Hawk" like fashion. I need to keep applying what I've learned last week to remain successful. More importantly, I'll keep my mind off of what I've made and keep my mind on...

Wow. Well, today was the best day I've had so far. I made $140 and spent about $60 making it. I've realized that the prints are EVERYTHING! I watched them like a hawk today. In fact I feel like I may have found a pattern in the prints that point to what side of the market I should be on...

Ok guys, Today started off on a good note. Today's weaker than expected GDP report will probably point to a lower open. Is it safe to say that this will determine today's trend? I'll know by the end of the trading session.

wow. Well, I decided to scalp NT today. I lost $60 this morning. As you could imagine, being down this much 15 minutes after the open took a bit of a toll on me. But I realised that I haven't been trading very well this week and so today, I was a bit more resilient to my loss. I simply...

Well, it makes sense. I'll try to incorporate that knowledge into my trading strategy today. I feel pretty good today. I noticed yesterday that NT tanked and then went sideways while the markets were rallying. I think that NT would be a good short at the open if the indicies come in...

Well today wasn't as bad as yesterday....I think. I made $3. I spent $62 making it. All 3 indicies shot straight up and I still managed to lose money. :-( I happen to find a useful tool that I think was a bit beneficial to me. It basically sums up the amount of buyers and sellers at any...

thanks for the info nasdaqtrader. Today is the 27th of October. I feel motivated today. I hope that my trading performance will be better today than it was yesterday. I won't be trading the open because it's a little too volatile for me. Hopefully volume will be on the upside today.

Well Gentlemen, Today is Tuesday the 26th of October. I have to say that today wasn't a very great day. My morning started off on a negative note and it affected me pyschologically all day long. I'm trading 1500 shares of LU and managed to make $48. Unfortunately, my trading costs came...

i know but I'm learning.

Hey guys! Obviously I'm new to these message boards and to the world of day trading. I was hired to trade in a private equity group earlier this month. I've decided to keep a daily journal on my progress as a trader. This is where I will come to rant about my suckie trades. While I'm...
