It's funny, how in our line of work, you could be doing seemingly everything right, but if you have a just a tiny bit of mental slippage all of a sudden you post a (small) losing day here and there. It's all in the head. I am not worried about yours though - that one is not only pretty but...

I like that! :D Here is to not repeating our mistakes tomorrow! :)

Donna, Our combined experiences during trading today got me thinking of a song. Let me know what you think: "...Breaking the trades in the hot sun I fought the tape and the tape won (7 times) I left my BBBY and it feels so bad Guess my trade is done She is best setup I've had all day...

-$35 Held DRI for too long, intsead of taking a quick profit. Made a decent entry on KO, but again, did not take a good profit and left a ton of money on the table Good (somewhat) entry on HANS and this time I played it right. Just. So, 2 winners, one loser and due to commissions a net...

Robert: Mazeltov! There was no doubt in anyone's mind that you were going to recover from your loss in no time. N-O-T-I-M-E! I will make this an addition to my New Year's Resolution: Trade with Mr.Weinstein!

Believe me when I say this: You want those in reverse order :cool: :D :p

First trade in a long time +25 Shorted SNDK at 12.14, got out at 12 even. Should've stayed longer, but got too impatient. The usual. When, oh when will I learn?

Very nicely done, ma'am! I love NEM. It's been a while since I traded it, but this stock made me the most money by far.

I agree with Angry: super-boring and predictable! Where's the drama? Where's tearing of hairs and eyebrows? Screaming? Blaming the markets? There is nothing but steady progress and constant updays here! B-O-R-I-N-G! I am almost begininning to think of re-starting my "jurinal of mistakes"...

-$40 Yet again, I traded just for the sake of trading. Picked the bottom of the move on QCOM for a short. $0.10/share Stop initiated. According to NoDoji I at least have risk management skills :) The lesson of the day is: if you are busy at work - do not trade! Or trade a probable setup...

Only because I wasn't able to trade today! :D P.S. My apologies for the O/T content, but it had to be said! :cool:

Hehe, you made me trade HANS today as well :D Srsly though - you called it on a short side (right before I had to leave). I should've waited for a really good setup (around 2:48PM) to short. Ever have that feeling that you just have to trade?

+$3.40 or so Was very busy at work and was only able to slip one minor trade in. Timing was off. I can't just trade for the sake of trading! At least I did not chase this time. I had to leave and could not participate in the close.

Good job, NoD! Another green day - gee, that seems to be a norm for you (yes, despite ORLY ;)) I learned today that chasing and not setting stops is costlier than just sitting and looking. No matter now bad the itch is (and mine's baaaaad). You just absolutely CAN NOT trade out of...

-70 Was not able to trade in the morning and basically was looking every each way to make something happen. Stupid. Shorted RL and APOL. RL was a B/E trade, I got stopped out in time. APOL was a complete distaster. I did not place a Stop, so it quckly ran against me and I waited to...

Enjoyed HANS chart. In-Out and I was there were priceless! :D Srsly though, you impressed me again with consistency. Lovely, ma'am, just lovely (thick Russian accent implied)

+70 Finally felt better today. Sinus infection came back with a vengance and last 2 weeks I was barely able to function. Slipped one trade in today - shorted SU at the close. Thanks to 1R for the tip - nice find, sir! At work, so no blotter.

NoD: I copied your above post and will use it as a daily guidance tool.

I have heard here recently that "Dollar Cost Averaging works...except for when it doesn't. And then it really doesn't"! Sums it up pretty nicely. P.S. I hate being sick :(

Frequent participant here. With experience comes wisdom. Thy wisdom...take a laptop with you :D :p :cool: Congrads on (another) a good day. And thanks for the advice (Hydrogen Peroxide)!
