1/30/09: Friday looks like another scalp day. Market still looks unsure of where to go. I am highly considering moving my Max loss to - $100 for the day(half lots) to lock in a decent month gain and I don't see anything that shows me to be aggressive today. On daily charts COST USO RMBS...

1/29/09: Total P/L +0.00 No trades. I tried to short DRYS in the afternoon , but no shares available on Scottrade. It finally looks like things are starting to settle down here in the D.C. area, so I should be back to a "normal" trading schedule starting tomorrow or monday.

1/29/09: Ok......very hard day to call the market. I'm going into the morning with no bias in either direction, due to the gap down after the rally. If we are weak early on I'll look for stocks holding well to buy if we get a reversal up...and if we move up , I'll look for stocks staying...

You're really sticking it to BBBY & FFIV......rock on!!

Nice day again Jeff, I really like your inner thoughts on what you need to do to keep improving. It seems to be working out well!

1/28/09: Total P/L +70.80 As I stated before, I made the mistake of not changing my target on the DIA trade and left $100 extra out there, which is not the main issue. It's hard enough finding good/solid trades to get into, but to not take the extra 10 seconds to make sure everything...

Whew!...Makes me feel better. I actually "bounced" the 300 lb. all the way up, but didn't count with our "judge" ( as I fully agree, it should not have). Maybe he was talking about ants...I think they can lift 100x their weight.

Been there, done that........about 4 years ago I had 2000 shares short of NVLS, went to cover the order for a nice gain......actually added 2000 more. Left the house to go play golf , thinking I had a great day. Came back to find out I was down about 5k....Everyday a lessson is learned

1/28/09: The beauty of watching a live trader........ I originally had a 2000 share order for DIA with a .10 stop. I thought twice about it and went with a 1000 share lot and a .20 stop for more wiggle room. I forgot to change my alert from a target of 83.45 to 83.55 and when DIA got to...

1/28/09: Well...3 weeks ago I was looking for the market to continue higher, then the past week I was looking for the base on the index daily charts to break lower...and now we are gapping up +150. I'm glad I'm not swing trading! I'll wait out the morning and see if we sell off (to short)...

NoD.. I actually put FAZ on my watchlist due to reading your commentary regarding it, so I guess I owe you a thanks!

HMMMM....maybe it's groundhog day, because this actually fits for my market bias today as welll......... 1/27/09 Total P/L +441.10 Only one trade today:FAZ long Maybe it really is groundhog day.....deja vu all over again!!!!
