I shorted it thinking It would be good for a nice run. Only got 20 cents out of it though. Don' tthink it'll be heading down anymore today unless we see a selloff in the market

What the hell is wrong w/ being a wage slave ? W/o them, this country would not be running

Okay, today was 10x better than the last 2 days. I'm quitting early as well. Was break even but satisfied. Traded in 100-200 share lots only. Had 11 winning trades, and 7 losers. Decided to be VERY patient. Biggest downfall today: hesitating when my system provides an entry...

I don't think so. I just need some time to adjust. Soon as I started trading small, I was doing well.

Down $543 today. First trade of the day, caught a top and lost $133. That set the tone of the day apparently. 3 Biggest losers were loses of $230 and $140 and $133. Each of those I should have cut at $100 loss. They accounted for $503 worth of loses. Still not totally adhering to...

Trading equities. The volatility wasn't what got me. I defeated myself. Plain and simple. Pyschology. Accounted for $810 worth of loses and $430 worth of profits. Won't let it happen again.

Well, i started posting on the 2008 p/l journal, but i'd rather have my own thread to track my progress. First day lost $770. Stupidest trading ever. Was bloody nervous at the start. Started off down $250, and never really recovered after that. Left $430 in profits on the table, b/c i...

Just started at a prop today. Very confident in my system. I have a clear edge on the market. I just need to adhere to my strategy.

First day trading at prop. HORRIBLE DAY. Didn't let winners ride according to my system: left $430 on table b/c of it. Traded against my system: Lost $810 dollars on against system plays I'll neve trade against my system again. Woulda coulda shoulda. Net ($770)

........but right now the resistance is just too much......maybe we'll see it right after I post, lol.

no thanks, not clicking.

Thanks m8. That did it. :D

attached is a pic. You see down at the bottom it says '8 chart'. Well there's 8 charts there. I want them tabbed at the bottom where the other 3 tabs are. They were all tabbed about 5 mins ago, but i clicked something and they all went under that '8 chart' tab. Its annoying as hell, and...

Take a look at this 5 min candle chart of CAM. About 20 mins worth, price moved almost 2 points. Got the 10MA up, and you can see how quickly the price moved up. Shorted a 1/4 position midway down the first red candle, and shorted a 1/4 more at the completion of the candle. These quick...

if you're watching price as your in the position, why bother with a stop order ? Frankily, I've found that if I use a stop order, I'm more likely to let price hit my stop when the trade goes against me. If my stop is discretionary, I've found that I will exit the trade prior to the stop to...

Lots of noise after 11am. Having trouble finding good entries right now other than quick scalps.
