+32 Just watched on Monday and I had a gig yesterday. I didn't like the way the charts looked on Monday. Could've stopped but was trying to get a bit more to make up for the two non-trading days. Finally had a losing trade. Bought 116.50 10:30 Sold 116.37 12:20 I was trying...

I think you should just get to the meat and potatoes of your trades. Otherwise everything else reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtDR-xEVqKc

+25 I missed a great opportunity early on and was too conservative. Could've gotten a lot. Somehow I always end up not getting in on those somehow. Didn't really sleep too well yesterday. I figured I had to do at least something today. Gonna try to get some sleep for a few hours at...

+10 I'm not feeling well last few days. My gut has really been bothering me of late. I really don't care to watch the market the rest of the way now. Perhaps I just can't stomach the market. Sold Short 114.605 09:31* Bought Cover 114.57 09:31 Another accidental entry where I had...

Wow.. There's actually some number figures being thrown up. It's actually more interesting now.

Thanks O'Leary The memo came out very recently. I just read the memo today too.. It was there when I logged in. Perhaps the guys on the RMS side/customer service side could have an understanding of it as well. So, far the responses from them was that one can't initiate a position using a...

+26 Bought 115.60 09:51 Sold 115.71 09:52 Sold Short 115.90 10:49 Bought Cover 115.86 10:49 Just gonna leave it. Gotta bring my mother to the Radiology Oncologist later. I can only do some trading early in the morning for the next six weeks but that's it.

+37 Not feeling particularly well. I gotta do some running later today. My stomach has been bothering me a lot of late. Calling it a day. Sold Short 117.30 09:33 Bought Cover 117.17 09:33 The thought of a stop didn't even occur to me on this. Just got out too quick. Product of...

@Cookding No, I'm doing the real deal. Stops in general don't work for the demo at all. Stops do work on Lightspeed trader if you are already in a position. They just don't seem to work when you are trying to initiate an entry into a position using one.

Thanks Clm, Didn't know that one can plot on Lightspeed. I've actually written a review about Lightspeed on Elite Trader before. Basically great execution and rates. Their website had a bunch of issues (along with ones with clearing firm) and the customer service is ok depending on who you...

+13 Sold Short 116.20 10:06 Buy Cover 116.12 10:06 That's it for today. Got in on limit order for a wedge reversal. It's one of those should I scalp out or should I wait for a big gain trades. Of course it went down huge afterwards. That always happens to me. After losing previous...

@clm, If I do a screen shot, how can I edit it to put in where my entry and exits are? I don't know how to mark them. I'm not a computer guy so it is difficult for me. I could do a hard copy print, then write on it with pencil with entry and exit points. Then take a picture of it...

O'Leary, I spoke to a couple guys in the customer service side and they said that it's not possible to enter a trade using a stop order. I did try it but everytime it automatically acts as a market order immediately and before the stop price is met. Those guys just tell me to do limit...

+18 Sold Short 112.59 10:27 Bought Cover 112.49 10:27 That's it today. I controlled myself today and didn't get into anything just because I want to get in. Could've gotten more on the trade but went the safe route. This is a tough business trading, a lot of it is just mental discipline.

I wish I could, I don't know how to do that. I did put up the times for the entries in EST, so you can see it when you pull up a chart for whatever stock I traded that day. That last trade off of CAT, was a Al Brooks setup in H2 I believe. The only problem is that I can't get in at the price...

Easy.. emotions get in the way. Today was the same thing. My emotions got in the way. I should just set an entry and stop and go back to bed. It eventually reached my price target but I just couldn't sit through the pullbacks and exited with a loss. My number one enemy so far is just that...

I will only wait for one setup now only. if I miss it, I miss it. No trading. There will be more non-trading days from now on. Easy to say, but hard to stick to.

-29 CAT Bought 113.23 13:28 Sold 113.10 13.54 Could've scalped out but didn't. Was holding for higher target which was reached after I exited. Sigh.. One of those I could've scalped out or not scenarios. I was waiting for the right setup all day on GS and it didn't happen. It...

-177 Ouch. Revenge trading is the worst kind. Blocks logical thinking and setup entries in the wrong direction. I went and got in at the end yesterday thinking it would turn around today. Just guessing. I got tired of just getting small gains or losses. Holding overnight got me again...

-29 Bad trades ruined it. So hard to decipher direction in this market. SPY (300) Sold Short 134.98 11:30 Bought Cover 135.06 11:35 I read the previous bar low incorrectly. I wouldn't gotten in otherwise. Sold Short 134.99 11:47 Bought Cover 135.07 11:48 (200) Bought...
