I didn't make any comments yesterday because I was too busy reading up on Spydertrader's Journals. Yesterday I decided to keep both stocks that I've been holding - YHOO and MFW. Today however things looked very different as anyone who watches the market can tell you. The major indices pulled...

I grimace as I say probably not enough. But see, it's good that you ask because it's kind of like kicking me in the butt and telling me to go do some more homework. Here's what I have read: 1.Two other books by Toni Turner - one on daytrading and her newer book, "Trading in the new stock...

Well, yes and no. I started visiting this website about 3 weeks ago. I saw Spyder's journals, but the first page seemed rather complex so I moved on to others that were a bit more entertaining. Glad that someone recommended I read them, but it's going to take me a while.

Hmm...What's the easiest way to add a chart? Tried a png file - doesn't look very nice and I lost some of the data. Kae

Trying to add a chart to this:

Thank you for the advice. I'll consider this when I go back to actual trading. I'm only paper trading for now until I get my confidence back.

So far I've done it on paper 3 times and it's worked every time. Just so you guys know, I'm not stupid - I do know about odds and percentages. I found this system on thestreet.com where they backtested it over several years and found that it works about 90% of time. I'm just saying that I've...

comments june 1 Market were slightly up and not making any significant candle signals - exception might be the nasdaq which made a gravestone doji (someone correct me if this is wrong). Uptrend still intact and expect at least the sp500/ Dow to move higher the next day or two before hitting the...

Comments from yesterday Indexes didn't move much today, most closed in small insignificant candles. Not too surprising considering the recent run up. Didn't buy anything today, will probably wait until the next time the indexes bounce off their moving averages or until something tramatic...

From 5/31 QQQQ's are setting up for a short day trading scenario. - Have moved up two days in a row. If it gaps up .3-.6%, short at the open. Take profits at .5% or at the close , which ever comes first. See thestreet.com for this setup. From 6/1 This worked fairly well. I missed the...

guess the titles aren't showing up. Here's my roster of swing/ position trades that I've done in the previous month. Three of which are still open. I will try to post April's positions soon, but it takes a while to get it to look right (anyone know how to add an excel spreadsheet to a post?)...

Journal entry #3 This is a description of the criteria that I have been using to paper swing trade for the past three months. I will note when I change any of the rules in this account and I will post daily and/or weekly updates to the account including my thoughts on particular holdings...

me again. Journal entry #2 Before I get into telling you about my plans for the next six months or so, I think it's important that you know where I'm coming from. So now I'm going to tell you about my history in trading the equities market. I came into this endeavor knowing next to...

Hi. I tried to start a journal on ET last week, but kept having problems - I'd be typing for a long while, then accidently hit a button and would lose it all. At any rate, I decided to make a blog instead (see address below). But I would really like to get some comments from other traders, so...

I was trying to post this in the journal section. For some reason when I was typing, I lost it and then couldn't find it again, so I just decided to finish it later. Thanks for replying though, I least I know it went somewhere.

Hi All, I'm starting this journal in hopes to get some good sound advice on what I hope will eventually be a new career for me (or at least a way to supplement my income). I got into trading about two years ago, and started with very, VERY, little knowledge about the financial markets...
