Couldn't get anything going. Taking tomorrow and next week off. -24 gross

I don't usually make excuses but software issues this morning were the cause for the loss. Fast market conditions only added insult to injury. -146 gross

Made a mistake that cost me almost half of today's profit. Nevertheless, still a decent day considering countless headfakes and very little follow through. +124 gross

Today's blotter doesn't tell the story... Even though I had very few losses the market didn't offer much, so I just took whatever was available. Happy to finish positive, I really need to get my confidence back. +72 gross

Another down day... Seems like I'm back to my old ways. The issue is not that I can't make money, I just don't know how to keep it. Both yesterday and today I was up initially and then proceeded to flush everything down the toilet. I could have just walked away with 230 gross today but for...

No trades Friday and today.

Crazy day... The way the indexes whipsawed today, there were lots of opportunities to make big $ quickly or lose it just as fast. I decided to play it safe - instead of riding my winners I was in & out fast, within seconds. Made decent coin on relatively small amount of transactions. +151 gross

Everything was going well until I stepped on a couple of land mines... Nevertheless, the loss should have been much smaller. -150 gross

I keep a mental count of my winners to losers ratio. Mental - because I don't have the time to write it down as I used to. Normally this ratio is around 2:1 but today, for every winner there were at least 3-4 losers. Experience tells me that if I'd continued trading at this rate, I'm guaranteed...
