All this chop sucks. I should have made more, today. I started cutting profits short and tightening stops because my winners kept coming back to break even. I should have stuck to the plan. I took way less on my short of T than I should have. +63.68 8000 shares

Quitting early because I finally went positive. I made a dollar, today, and I love it. I got chopped up in the tight range the market made in the morning. I was down about $220. I made my money back when T and BLS sold off with the market in the afternoon. I covered when I went positive. I know...

What a frustrating week it has been. I'm done for the day. It's not a lot, but at least I finished the week on a positive note. I lost money this week, but it's the first losing week in 6 weeks.

Got chopped to pieces, today. I'm very disappointed with this week, so far. Done for the day.

I probably should have made some money, today. I made a few mistakes, but the loss is small.

I'm disgruntled and done for the day. I had written on my calendar that the FOMC meeting was today, so I was convinced it would be so slow and choppy yesterday and today. I avoided trades and used stops that were way too tight. If I traded according to my normal system and style I would have...

It's slow and boring. I'm done for the day. I wish I did trade more, though. I came into the day expecting it to be slow and choppy. I barely wanted to trade. I missed good trades in NEM and INTU.

Thanks for the feedback and resources. I especially liked the info on the chartbender site.

You are correct. I actually meant ITM options. Thanks.

I take it you are posting gross profits. Don't get caught up in gross profits. They are pretty much meaningless. You always have to consider commissions as part of your P/L...especially at your high rate. Also, you mentioned that you might increase shares soon. I recommend not doing that...

Aside from the change in leverage, is there any other significant difference? Do farther OTM options mirror the price movements of the stocks more than less OTM options?

Hello, I've been paper trading options for about 2 months now. My strategy is simple. I buy puts and calls in place of the actual stocks for swing trades lasting a couple of days to a couple of weeks. I buy near the money options a maximum of a month until expiration. My trades are based on...

The market sux, today. I'm done for the week.

LOL

I had a good day. I'm happy with it after two losing days. I'm still not really making money yet, although I am doing much better than a couple of months ago. I used to have small winning days that were always wiped out by one big losing day. Now my losing days are much smaller and one winning...

Today was not my day. I had platform issues for hours, my internet connection went down, and I made some dumb keyboard errors. I made back some money, though. I was down over $200. When I got down, I traded too cautiously and missed some good opportunities. At least, I only lost about 100 bux.

It was pretty slow and choppy. Was negative all day and could never really get anything going. Barely lost anything, though.

It was a good day for me. Today's winnings cover the losses for the last two days and a little more. I'm done for the week. Tomorrow is the day before a holiday weekend and options expiration. Also, I'm tired, so I'm taking a four day weekend.

I was up in the first 1/2 hr, but OSI took it back and then I went negative. That OSI is and SOB. I got slipped 40 cents on my stop order. Came so close to going positive so many times during the day, but couldn't pull it off. Barely lost anything, but it's two losing days in a row.
