Today's market felt like an All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet, and I was trying to eat everything, and instead, I ended up losing my appetite and ate very little. While I am glad that I have won 4 games in a row and finally had a decent week (+$1800), I have missed too many opportunities last a couple of...

Sure hope I can keep this up. It has been a fun ride but my size and aggression is not there to make this the type of size day I used to have. Still, would gladly pack this in and go home . . . I absolutely hate low volume environments so I am not going to be a part of the churning. +635...

Had an acceptable morning so I am going to take off right now. While I missed about a few dozen opportunities today I have to be happy with this number for now. 5 of 6 shooting on 2900 shares, +533 before commissions, +461 after . . . +$1000 for the month, +$800 for the pay period . . . can...

This is precisely why the owner flattened his account flattened, a $6000 "profit" in a day :-) I would say that more than enough covers it. Our risk manager used to work as a specialist in several large caps, so he can be a little rude at times. He probably had a bad day . . .

Trading stocks with 1 point spread like NVR will do that to you :-) He had a $1500 day trading 200 (or was it 300) share positions afterall. 4 positions 500 shares a piece you can lose a lot more than you think. He is not familiar with NYSE stocks and tape reading and I think he is getting...

I have no degree and 2.0 GPA . . .

Finally, a respectable game in June. While today was nothing compared to the days I have had just two short months ago, those days seems so distant and as traders we are as good as our next game. Just have to take it and appreciate it. I have had no winning day above $500 in June so this was...

She is not the type who advertises herself, so I rarely know the exact figures. Based on her reaction, a pretty frustrating day but not nerve wrecking, probably slightly down . . .

A poor performance since I simply could not find my shot today. 4 of 10 shooting on 8000 shares, -$15 before commissions, -$200 after . . . I am start to wondering if I should start to find some bottom->up approach to trading, my game has always been futures->sector->stock, in that order ...

After 3 straight check-less pay periods (while I was up second pay period in May, I was down $600 for the month so no check), finally snapped this nasty streak. While $200 is less than what you would make flipping burgers, it is important that I learn from my mistakes and start to play better ...

It is very tough to do without a Bloomberg terminal (which has opening indications so you can see where the thing will open). Yes, senior traders at my firm frequently short into the opening print on bad news, but they get to see where the stock opens before hand. Another useful trick...

Lol, I have kept everything from the day of the interview to my first day to present :-) The numbers are way down, not long ago $250 would be considered a very very very very disappointing day, and back to back down days were . . . unthinkable . . . how I miss those days. That said, have...

Missed lay-up hurts, this morning a broad market sell-off hit and I did not put up any bullets. Needless to say I could not get anything filled, had I been as aggressive as I was back in March, with 4-6 bullets I would have very easily made a couple of K today. Literally gave away a big trade...

My firm is struggling as well, but top tier traders always pull the games out no matter what, one trader sitting next to me had 3 down days during this entire stretch, and she never even had to cut down her sizes, plain amazing.

Down $600 last month, flat this month.

Light day as I bounced back from yesterday's blown out. +$560 before commissions, +$458 after, just 4000 shares on 6 of 8 shooting. It is funny how today was a much tougher day than yesterday and I did so much better, composure is everything in trading and I absolutely must control the tempo...

I will describe briefly what I do so you guys can give me inputs. I follow about 130 stocks across 10 sectors, although in reality I really only trade about 60 of them. I use 5 minute charts with 10/20 EMA, I do not use the EMA's very frequently, just more or less a visual trend. I have two...

Hi all: After reading this board for a while I really like the experience of members posting here so I am going to post my daily trading journals here and I welcome comments and suggestions. If you did any memorable trades today (good or bad), feel free to post it here along with an...
