Yes I'm still here. Occasionally, when I disappear for longer than usual, I'm probably battling my trading storms, due to some silly acts I may have committed.

Hey Puddles, seems like you're moving along well into 2011. Would I be correct in saying that you have a 2:1 strategy, similar to Geez?. Also, how do you determine the trades that you choose and its entry point? It would be interesting to see how one can come up on top despite having only...

Kon, these are actually from free stock charts and yes I do prefer these hands down!!!. I'll send u the link in a bit.

Made a killing and am ready to retire :p . In dollar terms it ended as $10 & $20 respectively. With FAS I usually am in btwn 500-2000 shares.

1/10: There have been a few questions in regards to why I trade FAS so early on in the day. These trades tend to be very high risk, but very profitable trades. Being high risk, I don't always get it my way. Though, I am ok with this as I can handle the exits well (except the first one...

This looks like a high probability trade and I like the way you do it. I suppose you could make fewer quality trades like this, and buy a higher number of shares, and the profits would look after themselves.

4re, I got filled half my positions at $28.14 and have the stop at $27.18. If it goes lower without hitting my stop, I will add the other half at ~$27.75 (on the way up). Btw, how do you decide at what price you want in? how do you determine value?.

Hi PTMTL, thanks for visiting.

Hi Kon., your very own journal!!!. Hopefully, it will help your trading with all the input that you get. I, by no means am an expert, but will give you my input where and when I see fit. Please do not take any negative comments personally, as they are not intended. Good luck and I'm glad...

4re, I see you on this one. However, I have a couple of questions. Does the breach of the trend line (circled) concern you?. At this price, I feel it's right for the picking, so I am thinking of breaking my swinging virginity and will buy half my positions at ~$28.00 and will add the other...

Thanks buddy, but those tennies can add up fast, so hope today turns out well.

From 12/28: 4re, you got this one spot on, but seeing the chart after what it did (reaching a low of $56.08), how would you have handled it?. If this trade was executed on the numbers you had given, it would have come out good. Your entry point was ~$59.00; I am not seeing this entry...

4re, one day we will find a common ground :)

Copy that 4re. Sometimes I feel that Wall St just makes excuses for which way the market goes. That's just one reason why I like day trading. Btw, I like your quote. An attempt to get me into swinging?:p

Hi Kon, I completely agree with you. I do not use the 1-min charts to trade except for the first 15-30 min after the open or when executing a trade. Generally, my decisions are made of a 5-min chart. Also, I show the 1-min chart for illustrative purposes. I have already had my stint on the...

01/06: Today didn't seem like the most dynamic of days to trade. With 3 hrs of sleep and an 8 mile run, concentration was lacking. Additionally, the market seemed choppy and so I kept the trades to a minimum and will instead make this a backtesting day. Pic. 1: Trade 1: SHORT: Entry...

Take a guess? FAS!!! :eek:

***ATTENTION***ATTENTION***ATTENTION***ATTENTION***ATTENTION***ATTENTION***ATTENTION***ATTENTION*** Before I post any further, I was reminded by a friend that I was still paper trading. Actually, I wish that stood, for today. However, I have been trading with REAL money since...

Today the market is "no bueno!!!" :mad: . I might come back in a bit to trade or i'll just show you my burn marks that I suffered within the first 7 MINUTES of open and call it a day.
