Hey guys!!! Wow! Today was my best day NET!! I made $390.25 and spent $110 making it. I need to trade like the way I did today, everyday!!! I'm really happy that I did this well. I was disciplined, I traded only when I saw an edge, and I barely said anything to anybody all day long. I...

Hey guys!! Feeling good this morning!! The market opens in a minute! Good trading!!!

Hey guys!! I needed a day like today!!! I made $355.10 and I spent ABOUT $250 making it. I know I didn't walk away with much, but this morning I was down......REALLY down. After a rough lunch, and a small argument with a fellow trader, I managed to get in "the zone" and trade with a clear...

maxpi, thanks for the advice. I'm going to try that today and everyday from here on out. I think that my biggest hurdle is my mental state and I'm sure that your advice will be a great help. Well gentlemen, it is SSSSOOO cold out today. It was 21 degrees when I left my house this...

Thanks for the info guys! Well, today wasn't that bad. I gotta say that I think I've reevaluated myself and my ability to trade. I know that I lost so much money recently because I was overconfident. I've since then beaten my own confidence down so, I think I have a better grasp on my...

It depends. Sometimes I get into a trade that is working for me, but I can sense that it will soon turn around. In which case I immediately try to close the position out for a profit. If the position is working in my favor, I'm more inclined to hold it and try to squeeze a couple of cents...

I know that I made a mistake by thinking that I was finally getting somewhere. I became overconfident and now I'm paying the price. I never thought that it would be easy, but I did think that I could learn quickly. I normally am a quick learner. This morning comes after our company x-mas...

NT and LU is right. I tried trading CPN once and had it handed to me. Yes scalping!! Basis?? I don't like to hold positions that are working against me. If I hope for something, I'll be disappointed. I totally understand about giving advice.....I have to figure it out for myself. I...

Well, I'm taking time out of the trading day to share some thoughts. The first thought, I suck. The second, I suck. I'm sure you can guess what the third is. After a week last week, and the mounting pressures of my life...I feel defeated. My P&L right now is $39. I've spent maybe...

hey everybody, Wow. Well, after having 3 buses pass me by this morning, and getting here just in time for the opening bell, I feel stressed. Talk to you later!!

Hey guys! Well, I must say that today was the slowest day I've had trading. I've said it before, but it seems that every time I say, "It's the slowest day I've had," it's true to the letter. I made $10.50 and spent about $75 making it. Perfect. After a day like yesterday.....at least...

Dblarrow, I'm sorry, you're right. It is Larry Livingston who is the main character. Jessie Livermore is the author and the book is a novel based on his life. Thanks for the advice! SammySOESa, If you're interested in HLV Capital's commissions, give us a call at (212) 221-3715...

Hey, As most of you can see, I didn't type up an entry to my journal at the close today. That's because I left early. I left early because of my growing stupidity in the world of trading. I LOST $203 and spent $125 doing it. Which has completely wiped out the money that I've made...

Hey guys! Dblarrow, thanks for the words of encouragement. I am my own worst critic. I know I still have room for improvement but as you probably know, it is quite frustrating not to get your way. I feel good today. I bet today will be a good day! Good Trading!

Alright guys. I made $258 and spent about $102 making it. I had 15 buy executions, 22 sell executions, and I traded 72,784 shares. You know, it's great that I walked away with a profit. But at 4pm, it had been 3 hours since I had been in a trade. This is starting to be a normal...

Good morning everyone! I'm well rested, motivated, and ready to make some MULA!! NT announced that they will be releasing their Q1 and Q2 results of 2004 on January 10 of 2005. That happens to be my 24th birthday!! I was thinking about yesterday. I really seem to be stuck in the...

Hey! Wow. Today was SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO slow!!! I was so bored today. NT was stuck in a 1 cent range all day. LU was a little better, but still very boring. I'm a little upset about something. I've noticed that I'm making the same amount of money every day. Am I stuck in some type...

Hey guys! Wow. I must say that this morning has really amped me up. The weather is really gloomy, my train ride sucked, and there was no milk at home. Regardless, I'm motivated and determined to make progress today. As of yesterday, my account is net positive. Since I began trading...

Hey guys!!! Well today wasn't too bad. I made $224 and spent $96 making it. Although today wasn't all that profitable, and I've made more, the percentage of my trading costs is actually less than 50% of my P&L. I could have made more today but around 1pm I went and had a long lunch with an...

hey everybody! I had a great weekend! It was tons of fun and full of rest. I hope everybody had a good weekend too. I need to pick my trades more carefully. The emphasis this month is to cut down on flats. Good trading!!!
