Wow....what a day.....I guess. Well, I had a good day. I made $181 and spent $20 making it. I know it doesn't sound bad, but, my last trade was at 11am. After that, I couldn't get filled for my life. My first trade was a long for 3 cents with 5000 shares. Then I made a penny on 3100...

Wow. Sounds like I had it easy!

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I enjoyed the long weekend by relaxing and spending most of my time being warm indoors. As most of you know, the northeast has been slammed with a serious cold front. So I avoided going out as much as I could. Well, I feel good this...

Yes, I was hired without experience. The firm was having an open house and I decided to attend. I left my resume that night and I got in touch with the manager here. I used to be a stockbroker so they knew that I had exposure to the field. I love the stock market, it's where my heart is, and...

hey guys! Had a bad commute getting here. I got here after the market opened. Luckily I'm up right now. I'll post my thoughts at the end of the day.

I didn't put up any money. I was hired to trade the firm's capital. In return I get a big percentage of my profits. For the first month and a half (before I started this journal) I lost money......about $1000. Since then, I'm not up by much. Especially since I got paid for December. Let's...

Wow, what a sell off! The dow fell 1% in the last hour of the trading day. It was nuts. Not that it matters because I trade NT. Whatever..... I made $151 and spent about $80 making it. It was slow all day. I have 13 buy executions, 13 sell executions, and traded 67,800 shares.

I could hold it for several pennies, but I trade NT, LU, and CPN. These aren't stocks that really move much. I wish they did though!

Hey guys! Got here a little before the market opened so I didn't get a chance to write an entry. Well, It's about 10:50am right now and I haven't made jack. NT printing like crap so its tough to get filled. Good Trading!

Thank ae_trading! I'm trading 5000 shares per trade now, so every penny I make is $50. Sweet huh!!

Well I came in at 12 and I got some decent action today. I made $100 and spent about $18 making it. It will actually be less because I traded 15,000 shares on BRUT today. That's $15 in credits. I had 4 buy executions, 5 sell executions, and traded 30,200 shares. My day was short but...

Hey guys, I came in late today because I had a couple of things to do this morning. Either way, I feel good. It's a little slow right now but I know it'll pick up as the day goes on. Good Trading!

Well guys, I have to wait and see my trader report to know if I made any money. You see, I took SO many flats today but I was getting filled on BRUT and hitting INET for the flat. As you may already know, you get credits for using these ECNs. Either way, I made $183 and spent ABOUT...

I get a cut of my net. But I don't mind at all. They put up the money, I put in my time. It's really a fair deal. As far as trading higher beta stocks go, I don't think I'm ready for it to tell you the truth. I want to make sure that I'm profitable, on a consistent basis, trading stocks...

Well, not a good day, but not a bad day. NT volume was lighter than average and it literally did nothing all day. Even still I managed to make $142 and spent about $120 making it. Not much of a profit, but hey, at least its $20. I can have a couple of beers with that. I had 21 buy...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! It's true, it's true....I'm 24 years old today. Just to think that 24 years ago, my parents were freaking out and rushing to the hospital so that my mom could give birth. I'm sure they're sorry!!! I must say that throughout my life I've experienced some pretty intense...

Not a good day..... I made $40 and spent about $130 making it. This morning wasn't too bad when I was up $40 and had 8 executions. But after 10am, I just couldn't make one good trade. I kept taking flats......expensive flats. I feel a little down about it, but hey, I can't make money...

Hey guys! Well, I'm tired this morning. After being woken up at 2am and arguing with my girl till 5am,.....I feel great (sarcasm). I'm not well rested and I have a caffeine rush. Hopefully coffee will make up for the lack of rest. When my alarm clock went off this morning, I...

Well guys, I have to say, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I made $210 and spent ABOUT $100 making it. It was really slow today in NT and CPN. I think I made out okay. I had 16 buy executions, 15 sell executions, and I traded 86,800 shares.

Hey guys! Well I have to say that this morning was interesting. I woke up to dry sunny weather in Jersey City, and when I got out of the subway in New York, it was cold, cloudy, and rainy! It's funny how after the tsunami the weather in the USA is all screwed up. Regardless of the weather...
