Im at the point in my trading where i consistantly make money, but im no where near maximizing my positions because of my short term mentality. I started trading trying to capture the spread over and over again at a prop firm, and i did ok with it. But now, im at the point where i need to get...

Good day today. Was the last day of the month and i was having a good month so i attempted to hit some 'home runs' today and it went well. Nothing too crazy, but punched big on the SCH break of 15.00 and the GLW break of 20.00. Im having trouble with the swifttrade mentality though because i...

Horrible day although the end total is fine. I feel so dirty! Fagged pennies on CCU at the close swifttrade style to make about 400 bucks. Sad, but cash is cash i guess, it just takes no skill and i feel like a credit whore.

Better day today. AMD and GLW had some nice moves and a few easy arbs today for cash. Made ~100 in MU and SCH as usual, overall pretty happy.

Pretty slow day again today. MU SHOULD have been cash this morning but i kept messing it up. SCH was good when it broke 14.50 i got some cash there, was good in AMD during the morning but wasnt really watching it in the afternoon. Overall not great results again, but meh, its some cash.

I should have also said in my post that i came back over $300k from my low! Had my first run in with a clearly erroneus trade on INET today. I had 968 shares short of EP and wanted to round out my lot by sitting on the bid with 468 shares, but i forgot to hit tab and entered the order for 968...

Pretty sad again, but still green at least.

Really bad day shockingly finished up. Made no money at almost everything all day, but was saved by some gimmick trading at the bell.... whew.

Pretty good day. Missed the 3rd 1k day in a row by a bit.... Broke 10k for the month so from now on starting from today i get 40% not 35% which is nice.

Very good day today. SCH was awesome did about 600 on that. 300 or so messed up arb stuff around 13.10, and caught the big drop/retrace near the close. Happy with back to back g's obviously.

Check out questrade. If your willing to take 80% on 10:1 leverage the per share rate is only 50 cents per 1k. I doubt they will let you take wires more than once a month. I dont use them so i cant say if they are good, but the deal seems worth checking out...

Must have been the new computer :)

Ok day +463 today. Cant get my blotter because my computer at work is wrecked. Had a power outage (yes i said power outage in an office building, only my circuit of course!) cost me 70 bucks and then about an hour later the same breaker tripped and F'd my computer for life! At least i had no...

A quick look at areyoukidding?'s recent post list shows the amount of garbage he posts. Perhaps this could be the route of negativity in threads you post on?

Ripley: Do you think you are getting better at avoiding huge losses? I remember months ago you lost a lot of your trading capital in the span of a few weeks from futures trading. Are you in a better state of mind now than then?

Pretty shitty day overall. I had no business in FCX or GM today shouldnt have traded them. Got lucky in SCH at the close and made some cash, other than that i would have been almost flat.

Ok day. No free money today had to make it all myself :/

I have a question that ive been wondering about for a few weeks now and this might be the appropriate thread to find the answer. Perhaps one of you could relate the level 2 screen on a NYSE stock to what is happening on the floor. (Beware i am fairly new and may sound naive) My question...

Good comeback day. EP was great at the open maybe it can replace my DPH love affair. Tried some coal stocks like Steve and made about $120, nothing special but its a positive.
