I was taught along time ago, if you think about the money you wont make it as a trader. So either way, 500 share size liek i do now on bigger trades or 2000, it really shouldnt matter emotionally. If it does you have work to do on the phycological side of trading. But either way you are...

Thanks alot B, Youve been great help so far... :cool:

I guess i dont need help with setups. I know them well, and have a very consitent plan with a great edge. Usually i ask some advice on various subjects. Main reason i pissed and moaned was i was just curious if i was wasting my time spending the 30 min doing this journal. Im busy everyday...

You absolutely right. There is no way of knowing what size to put on a trade. It all comes with experience, and knowing the market, stock, etc. The setup could be perfect, but if another factor isnt going your way, you could easily get stopped out.

HMM i dont rember saying i was making alot. Read back in my journal, iv said many times, i still consider myslef in the breakeven stage, and also the learning curve. If i said anything remotely arrogant it was that ive made money every month. Not tons, but its the truth, so no arrogance...

Glad to see i waste a little of my time so some one reads it :) Basically th only way it looks like i can make more money is size. The things i have found is there are traders that trade many trades a day with less size and make a decent living. Myslef, im a less active trader, and only take...

After a few beers and some pizza...i just got on here...and i decided its ironic that i have a journal on here...and noone has posted a reply in quite some time...maybe cause ive made money every month since ive started trading...and people dont wanna bother. then i look at other journals and...

Week of Nov 3-7 This week to me was a great week in my trading. I was very very consistent. Only 2 losing day trades out of over a dozen trades. PNL was nothing spectacular this week. I have came to a couple huge hurdles in my trading carrer. One is knowing WHEN, and WHENNOT to put on...

Comon..theres got to be tons out there..whats the best :)

What is the best scanner for gaps? I want one that has lots of options, and filters....like average range, volume, etc, etc,.... not thses shitty gap scanners that shoot out ABCD stock that trades 10k shares a day and is a 2.00 stock... Also were it just scans certain stocks you want it to...

It all boils down to how much you know going into it full time, if you have good traders to help you along etc. I started fulltime (before that i basically just paper traded and followed markets closely) about 4 months ago, and i have been profitable every month since i started. Im deffently...

This is why this bored sucks now...along with there is only prolly a dozen people that post reguaraly on here. I honestly dont think theres been a good thread on this bored for a good 6 months. Did i spell everything write ;) hmm write or right...i better get hooked on phonics....hate to tell...

Week of October 27-31 Not a bad week this week. Had the best day of my trading carrer this week, but also had the first day of no trading due to platform troubles. So i only traded 4 days this week. Made $384.35 gross on 7970 Shares. I still consider my self in the breakeven...

What they should have had on there is a trader that looks good, like a sweet 6 screen system, and some numbers from the day to prove it :D

How did that pick that specific lady trader to interview? Why dont they at least pick a trader that acts like he or she knows what hes or she is talking about.

we waited 4 days for that :confused: :D
