+10.43 Should have only made one trade today, the first trade of the day. After that, gave some back and finished with two scalps....

-3.40 gross -0.63 net for the week. Seems like the losing streak has stopped? Flat for the week - expecting some green next week - adressed my problems (90%) of them on the risk management part this week, but still made a few dumb errors... I think as a rule, if I decide to buy on the...

-1 yesterday -12 today. Hoping to have a good day tomorrow and break the losing streak, been now 8 consecutive weeks in the red.... Noticing a few improvements, but the battle between taking profits and letting trades run persists.....Today was a day to book my trades and I held on hoping...

Guess what people, I used to work construction, and for what it's worth I would never ever hire an american contractor. (except for hvac and electric work). I have seen mexicans at work hanging drywall, they would work the job 3 times faster and 3 times cheaper than the american crew...No...

+.80 NET - could hardly be more flat. Had a good trade on but closed it while the market was flat - came back from lunch and saw my stock had moved up. Self sabotaging moron...lol

+15.76 I get scraps on a day that was super obvious (in what I traded)....at least it's positive but should have been much better...

-24 I suck. Two more weeks of trading left this month. Definitely starting to see that I'm more of a scalper than a position trader - most of my trades were green today and still lost on the day trying to get more when more was not availible. Will try taking all my profits next week and...

-55 Too aggressive with the right idea at the wrong time and place. I know better than that.

The idea behind the plan is good, but whatever comes to fruition will most likely be unrealistic given the structure of our health care system. However, I find that the words healthcare and business should not be put in the same sentence...We have managed a system where a portion of the...

+10.22 Was up this morning and considered calling it quits early but had to put on two trades and give up profits. Bittersweet day but at least positive...

-5.37 Last week this would have been a "getting stopped out" kind of day. Took two losing trades right off the bat - then stopped and reflected on why it is that I have a stop and let the trades go against me longer than supposed to...Fixed the bug in the system real quick, and made most...

+24.98 Started the week on a green note, only using one setup that I plan on sticking with until it stops working. Pulled a trade too early and missed a few other ones, but I'd rather be green on the day with my small (but real) target hit for the day than be cursing at myself because I...

I think our wonderful governement has created a new form of communism....Back in Russia, everyone used to be broke and had no say about the governement or would be sent to the goulag. Now, our phone calls are recorded (we're all potential terrorists) - the governement has successfully...

M -42.59 T -56.40 W -63.09 T +26.85 F -27.09 week total: -162.32 Could have should have would have. Had it right for a day this week and today dropped the ball - did something I never do, took a trade, left too wide of a stop hoping it would come back - and of course it never did...

I won't be judgemental, I'll just toss in my 2c. Bought house in 05 - mortgage was about 30% of gross pay - I was otherwise debt free. 4 years later, work took a shit, I chose to remodel the house before moving in - planned to stay in home for 10 years - end result is this: I spent 150K in...

- 40 Started the day down, clawed back to positive territory before sinking in the afternoon chop. Learned more things about myself today.

+10.29 Closed the month on a bitter sweet note. Started the morning well and got greedy. Cut two winning trades way too early and took a few unnecessary losses reentering - same pattern but that's starting to get addressed. Total for the month -397 November will be positive.

+10 Strange day. Came in with short bias and tried to convince myself the rally was going to be short lived.Started the day down and spent the day reeling to get it back and closed at high....Now if I could hold on to trades....

+111 Sim traded today. Best day this month - no stress involved. Maybe I can take the same mindset and apply it to real trading?

-60 17 trades today 10 trades way early or way late on entries. 1 trade tried picking the bottom on JPM and realized what I was doing against the order flow - out very quick with small gain (seconds later my initial entry was run over)... 6 good (with 2 great entries) - never stuck...
