4/20/11 Gross: +296 Shares: 10000 Net (w/ new rate): +241 ------------------ My pseudo-date last night went terribly, haha oh I suck. Anyway... It is earnings season, so there are a lot of potential opportunities out there. I had forgotten how much action is out there. Friday...

4/19/11 Gross: +51 Shares: 7600 Net: +2 First day of trading since the 12th. Decided to take it easy as I am a bit disconnected from the market. My other job has taken control of my running memory, etc. Anyway, I started the morning off well, with a line of winning trades. Up $102...

4/12/11 Gross: +191 Shares: 5600 Net: ~ +155 ------------ Sorry I'm in a rush, can't talk much today. Basically had a decent morning, a rough midday, and that news in TYC made my day. Not proud of today's trading, got bailed out. I won't be able to trade Wed, Thurs, or Fri...

So my manager at job #2 has suddenly gone on "unexpected sick leave," for 3 months. They want me to work more in the coming weeks. It LOOKS like I will have much less trading time ahead of me this month. It is also possible they give me the promotion entirely, which would basically...

4/11/11 Gross: -70 Shares: 4000 Net: ~ -96 ---------------------------------- Fantastic god damn beginning to a week I had high prospects for. Notable Trades: 1. MON - MON has had a series of down days. Expected a bounce soon. Bought through 67.50. Didn't love the setup...

Thoughts for Week of 4/11/11 1. I want to trade less. Even though I feel I do have a talent for grinding, I want to just get as big as possible on quality setups. I'm going to try really hard to be patient and wait for them. **You can expect either big up days, OR big down days this...

IB's website says they charge $1 per 100 shares in commissions. How is that better than a prop firm?

Yeah born and raised. It is nice being done at 1pm, though if you don't get to bed on time, you're definitely gonna be tired at 6:30 a.m. East coast has an advantage as they get more morning prep time. Off at 1pm, you can go to the beach, do whatever, enjoy your day. I wake up at 5 a.m...

Yeah you are absolutely right. I was having a talk with another trader about this today. "We should just trade less." I definitely have been keeping that more and more in mind. I try to stick with stocks that have news out today, or stocks with a running psychology due to news from...

If I could I would. The only thing I can do is flash orders =(

4/8/11 Gross: +191 Shares: 8526 Net: ~ +136 ---------------------- Today was my best day of the week, and all you have to do is take a look at the SPY to see that we just had a gentle down trend. I didn't experience heavy chop anywhere really. Had a little trouble finding setups...

Did not go in today, decided to get a good night's rest.

Thanks, so you bought the dip? I caught this one too late. Though, you bring up a good point. Risk more with less size until more information presents itself. I am worried, however, that my emotions seeped into my exit strategy. The charts said it COULD make a move to 50 cents. Though...

4/6/11 Gross: +14 Shares: 10,000 Net: ~ -51 ----------------------------- Today's morning action was difficult. None of the stocks I was initially watching had significant action going on. In play stocks emerged throughout the day, though I couldn't find many exciting setups. Went...

4/5/11 Gross: +110 Shares: 8400 Net: +55 I was hung over today. Went drinking last night with some friends to watch the NCAA game. Ended up staying much longer than I planned. I felt it actually helped me through the morning. I was LESS engaged, a bit lazy, and waited for decent...

thanks for the input, i definitely avoid the friend zone. im just upset w/ the mixed messages, id rather be left alone than play games, i dont need to be worrying about some chick while im trading

my execution list is attached to my journal entry btw.... ok.txt no worries, there is no out of line BS in my journal. be as blunt as possible. ill take it On a typical day, I have my quality setups, and then my light size mediocre stuff. Some of the light size stuff is very...
