I feel like it definitely encourages me to keep going and work on my trading habit demons. Thanks for your advice, I lll see if there is a correlation.

And with that, you are gone from my life. Good luck to your trading though.

I'll post lots of pictures for you starting next week again. I've traded many times since then but haven't been updating this thread but I still get emails from people months later asking me how I'm doing so I guess people care, this makes me want to stay dedicated to updating this thing.

I never have a profit target while trading options. When it goes in my favor a few hundred bucks lets say $680 I'd like to close it out but don't, wanting more, then it dips back down to lets say $370, now I'm pissed that I didn't close out at $680 profit and keep holding thinking it'll go back...

LOOK THROUGH MY THREAD. This is the second time I'm telling you this yet you refuse to do it and request pics as proof again. THERE ARE PICS LOOKS THOUGH MY THREAD. I've been given advice on blocking negative people like you on here, didn't do it yet but you're pushing it.

Do yourself a favor, seems like you're looking to start a fight or accuse me of something, nobody likes a guy like you on this forum so I suggest you change your mindset. Look through the thread and see for yourself I'm not trying to sell you anything or impress you, I'm trying to keep a blog of...

Don't remember maybe around 4K or so

Got it up to around 6k in about 2 weeks and then took some out and lost the rest. I've traded in between but starting this thread off with just 2k

Great advice, I think I read something regarding forming a new habit is as easy as just repeating it for 21 days straight and after that it'll be ingrained in you. I'll take your advice and apply it starting Monday. Thank you.

Well, my failures are founded on 2 main traits that I still have trouble controlling even after 5 years of trading. One is Not taking profits when I have them because of greed, the other is not cutting a loss in hopes of it returning because I can't take a loss. I have let lucrative profits...

THIS! Focus on just one stock, people don't realize that each stock or index has a personality, if you can figure it out you can be way more consistent than as if you were looking at 10 stocks

Starting Monday I'll be updating my thread again. Staring account: $2,000

Hey, sorry I forgot all about this thread for a while. I am still trading will update by end of day again, or at least try to.

Hi, I try to buy in the money calls/puts, but when I was starting out with the $500 I had to take a few out of the money risky plays. Now that I have some real ammunition I will mostly stick to in the money plays. I play the SPY a lot as well as a few blue chips like AMZN, NFLX, TSLA ect... I...

That's a great strategy, I've recently read "The little book of Market Wizards" it's helped me out mentally to a tremendous degree

Thank you! I use Etrade

thanks? lol

Hey guys, Sorry I didn't update last week kind of was putting it off because of all the screen shots and explanation I'd have to do. Anyway I decided to just show the current state of my account. So far I'm up 400% on my starting account value from 2 weeks ago. Trying to keep it going...

I've detached myself from the mental part of trading with my money. I believe this is the only way to be able to day trade and be profitable. Just have to kill the "hope it comes back" thoughts and cut losses as soon as it turns against you and take gains as your position goes up, kill the greed.

Interesting!! Going to watch this at some point this weekend. I love docs about trading.
