STP was the only trade today. +282 for the day +576 for the week

Hey Cash, Great Journal and I hope you keep it up. With all due respect I think its time to look for a new broker. I can see by your posts you looked at IB and I would suggest you look again. The difference would be HUNDREDS of dollars at this point (just from your posts). If you dont...

I would rather have the markets tank (I dont actually think they would) than give my two boys the debt load that we are working on by keeping things the same or even worse if we get a "lets give em all "free"(because if the government provides it then of COURSE it will be better and FREE)...

Ron Paul is getting my vote. He doesnt want to give it all away to people who don't work and he also doesn't want to take away freedoms. Really the only choice. Plus he has experience in the house so he knows his way around and knows how to get elected.

Hey FatRat, Your idea sounds interesting. I am currently using Tradestation Radar screen to find stocks that meet my selection. I am a profitable (small scale and only part time) trader that would like to move from paying Tradestation about double the commission and getting about 1/4...

Sounds like you have beat yourself up a lot over the breaking of your rules. I have also beat myself up for the same thing and would guess most here have at one time done the same I think the fact that your posting it shows your owning your mistakes and you can avoid them. Some things...

Ended the day with 9 S of TRB. This is TRB's 11th day up by close and 7 by high. only thing that doesnt look promising is that the percentages are very small. Up but not up much. ended the day -6 (from commissions) ended the week +400

TRB still showing strength. S 29.74 29.82 9 S @ 29.61 will wait until the close and short some more on strength. expecting Monday and Tuesday to be lower.
