Thanks guys. No, the mistakes aren;t of a personal nature. I started this to try and force myself to stop doing where I *make* my common mistakes. Unfortunately, I've had a good win-loss ratio over the past few months, but my downfall has been my losers. My losers I tend to trade from...

Wednesday - rough day. Made undisciplined mistakes. Won't get into details. PIcked a bit up in the afterhours on an ORCL short. Loss for the day around $600 Thursday - lots of trades, generally followed my rules but found myself on the wrong side of the trade alot in the morning, action would...

AT least I ended up green. Was down $600 at one point.

Not true. If he signs a personal guarantee, the personal guarantee is *NOT* corporate and is very common when opening corporate accounts that an individual assumes liability for any debts of the corporation incurred but not paid. If you're not sure, get legal advice, but that's the gist of...

Quest is supposed to be getting futures trading sometime this year. Not sure about the rest.

Revised blotter. Was able to dump part of the dog in A/H but pickup some extra in an ORCL short. So not as much open loss. Still a crap day though.

Crappy day, still have a big loser open, hoping to recover it in the AM.

LOL, thanks for the advice.

Alright. Had some extra trades go through that bumped up the initial amount in the account prior to the switch to the new platform today. Had some decent trades, along with a trade that I misread and got into poorly (with the opportunity to get out later in the day at a profit, only missing...

Slightly positive. First day with my blotter and new platform.

You can still see the numbers if you're on his list, and he's posting daily, so it's not like he's hiding the numbers...

Probably wasn't clear on this. This is an account with funds that I'm not "worried" about losing. My other accounts are more long tern buy/hold. This accounts aim is to generate profits to remove and use personally. I don't plan on increasing leverage and scaling up if I make some massive...

Depends on your broker. If you're with IB, no. Most of the others don't enforce it (ie, Questrade, the bank brokerages, etc). They just hit you with the canadian leverage rules. Depending on the stock, there's a 30% margin requirement. I'm with one of the big bank brokers solely for convenience...

Made some further trades this afternoon after I had hit my "lofty goal", which is usually $1000 per day. Of course, at that point, I made my usual mistakes, got greedy, traded from emotion. Need to learn to just walk away from the machine when I hit that point and come back the next day...

Agreed. The speculators abound. I won't hold this sucker overnight, or even more than a few minutes.

Trade #3 BUY 2000 EMKR @ $6.60 SLD 2000 EMKR @ $6.74 N/P = $266 Trade #4 BUY 500 BSC @ $12.92 SLD 500 BSC @ $13.35 N/P = $202 BUY 1000 BSC @ $12.93 SLD 1000 BSC @ $13.15 N/P = $206

Unfortunately my broker wasn't able to get me on the new platform today, so I've been using the (cumbersome) web interface today. I'll be up on the regular platform tomorrow. First two trades today: Closing out a position I held for a few days in EMKR. Was in at $6.61, it fell over the...

Pull out 32K, leave yourself with 30, and keep trading. Keep building that balance out and doing the same. If you keep it up, you have what it takes.

Sorry. Take a look at business and finance in general, and realize how little of an impact on the outsides Christian's have here. I'm sure if there was more of a "God" influence, the markets, the institutions, the ethics, etc would all be different. Unfortunately the industry as a whole is...

If only more of this industry was Christian, could you imagine what we'd be able to do? Easter is always a powerful time of year, praise you Jesus.
