Frustrating day. I got caught in a couple of chops and profits were chewed away. Made it out a break even. Up $4

Up $537 on the day. Realized profit from a swing trade I was holding overnight was $328 (was in the negative at yesterdays' close).

Not the easiest day to be going short. Up $112

Totals for the month by symbol. I don't trade a lot of shares - I try to make the trades count. Overall, its been a good month in terms of meeting goals and improving my skills. I will be aiming for more shares next month - number/frequency of trades depends on market conditions and parameters...

I did one dicey short on LNG on what was probably a short squeeze. There was a lot of skullduggery and window dressing today as predicted, which made for some real sloppiness. I took profits and called it a day early. Up $123

Couldn't go long for the life of me today. Got 1 trade in (UNXL short), but should have been a bit more aggressive with orders - oh well, 20/20 hindsight. Up $59

I only made 1 trade again today, a trend I don't like. This sideways grinding chop provides me with few opportunities. I have made progress with honing my strategy, but these market conditions are pretty difficult/frustrating. Up $187 (discrepancy between realized and P&L is due to reporting...

Up $126

Nothing to see here. It was a slow day Friday. Up $33

I went short UNXL prior to the Citron fiasco via a single put. I could not locate any shares to short - it could have been a much better day. I was also shaken out of ORCL long too early. Up $214

This low volatility chop does not bode well for my strategy. Up $63

Had 3 orders staggered to short Zillow, only 1 filled with 100 shares close to top tick. Mechanical trailing stop was conveniently taken out precisely seconds before the market decided to tank. Up $123

Break even day. A lot of cancelled orders, and only a single trade that didn't pan out. The reversal put my scanners to sleep and I ended up on the sidelines all afternoon, with nothing setting up particularly well under my strategy. Up $22, blah

It was a slow day for me. I had a lot of cancelled orders and a few fills. None of my trades moved much in my direction (short). I closed out my GG long from yesterday a bit premature. Up $181

I’ve been a lurker for a while. I’ve been trading for over 3 years, having bounced around a few prop shops. The road to consistency has been no bed of roses. Consistent for about 8 months. I primarily daytrade with occasional swing trades. I find myself faced with the continual challenge...
