    Trader P/L 2013

    -69 gross It was another rough day for me. Part of my issues for the past couple days is that I have been too aggressive with my share size on entries. I've been trading too large to allow my trades to play out and also stay within my risk parameters. If I had just used the appropriate size...

    Trader P/L 2013

    -42 gross This was one of the most frustrating days of the year. I was all short near the open and things were going great. Then the S&P shot up 10 points and I was knocked out of almost everything and almost done for the day as I was near my max loss for the day. Then the market dropped 14...

    Trader P/L 2013

    +87 gross It was sloppy out there, again, but I caught a couple of things. I actually missed some great trades because I was being extra cautious and wasn't going to risk much today. It was still a great month. I'll post a month review on Monday.

    Things were working for me and then everything u-turned. I was up a little over 100 and don't want to go negative, so I'm calling it. +13 gross

    Trader P/L 2013

    I caught some good long and short action early on. I lightened up my positions and eventually got flat as my P/L deteriortated from its high. I was up over 200 and didn't want to give too much back. +146 gross Thanks for the support, sellindexvol66. Consistency is what I am looking for...

    Trader P/L 2013

    I started off with some very light trading and was doing alright until I kept trying to press my positions. The day before a holiday weekend was not a good day to try that. Oh well, I didn't lose. +25 gross

    Trader P/L 2013

    It's a new best day for me!! Normally, I don't do well on big gap days, but I got all long near the open and it worked out. +224 gross

    Trader P/L 2013

    It was a good day. There is a 10 month old distraction running around my house trying to make me lose money, so I'm calling it a day and will spend some time with her. +107 gross

    Trader P/L 2013

    It was a bit of an annoying day. Up and down. The day started off pretty good for me and then my profits evaporated. I need to go to the office, so I'm done. +14 gross

    Yes. I got an 85!! Wahooo!! It was a difficult exam. When I was done I was calculating what score I might get based on the number or questions I wasn't sure I got right. I was thinking I got closer to a 70, so I was sweating it before I got the results. Then I got the 85 and I was stoked. I...

    I'm done already. I'm not in the right state of mind to trade. I'm SO pissed off right now from my kid distracting me while I'm trying to trade. -46 gross

    Trader P/L 2013

    I didn't give myself enough chances to make money today. At least, I didn't lose. I need to go into the office, so I'm done. +21 gross

    Trader P/L 2013

    This is a new best day for me! I was all long today except for one loss on a short. I was up more than this, but ended up liquidating to protect my P/L as my positions were pulling back. +128 gross

    Trader P/L 2013

    I got slapped around a bit in the market chop. I was long near the open and the market went down. Then I was short some positions and the market went up. I put on some longs and then the market went back down. I wasn't really following the market. I just didn't get much follow through on...

    Trader P/L 2013

    After a couple of weeks off, I'm back with a new account! No longer will I be trading odd lots and losing 25% of every trade to commissions. I've now got some buying power and lower commissions. I'll also be increasing my risk tolerance, so my daily P/L numbers should be a little bit larger than...

    Thanks. I passed the last practice test wtih a 77 the first time a took it. I would've liked to have gotten 80 or better, but that's alright. After reviewing the material, I was able to get a 99 on it the second time I took it. As long as the real test isn't very different than the...
