11/13/2019: Taxable Acct: Merrill Edge ============= Realized gain: $3,589.37 ============== Taxable Acct: TradeZero ============= Realized gain: $860.14 ============== Total profit: $4449.61 So close to my $5K/day target @Overnight @jl1575 ! Most of the gains were from overnight. I used...

mostly stocks now. In the past, futures.

11/12/2019: Taxable Acct: Trade Zero ============= Realized gain: $1129.05 ============== Total scalping CHK and a few other names today. Bust mostly just CHK. Scalping is my safest and surest way to make money. But it's not the most efficient. Traded over 600K shares today to make over $1K+...

11/11/2019: Taxable Acct: Trade Zero ============= Realized gain: -$3079.64 ============== Horrible! I did NOT countertrend trade. I bought a gap upper but then it reversed. I had only "only" 4000 shares and wasn't really paying attention then it reversed. Shouldn't have looked at the long term...

I do noticed that that bull markets are more prevalent than bear markets. That's why I invest in 401k and never look at it. I never said my skills is in making money ONLY in bear markets. haha. I said it seems as though I would make money FASTER in bear markets. Just thinking outloud. But that...

Oct and Nov have been mostly(99%) stock trades only. Trying to hone that skill down. Yes. That's a very odd way to put it. I think if and when the bull market ends and the bear market commence, I think my performance will get even better. I thrive on volatility. Bear market volatility is...

In the beginning, it was just stubbornness. I was wrong and didn't make progress for a very long time. Now I'm beginning to make OK money what keeps me going is that I know I could do SOOO MUCH better than what I've been doing in terms of trading performance. Every mistake hurts and I tried to...

Minus the stupid countertrend trades, my win rate is around 60-70%. But that's not necessarily the best stat to be concerned. What I'm working on is holding onto my winners so I can have a bigger R multiple. 2R or 3R would be nice. I'm no where near Rentech. Just a daytrader here. lol

I just joined this thread. Looking at the long term monthly charts, it's extremely dangerous to try to call the top of this market. It could go higher or a lot higher then crash or slow decline. We don't know. No one does. Intraday there will always be a place to go short and long. I learned my...

I actually don't know since reporting is so bad on 2 of my online brokers. In Robinhood I don't know until after end of month. IB is the only one with accurate daily reporting of P&L. So, in Aug I had very solid performance with futures in IB. Then in Sept I did horrible with futures on IB due...

11/08/2019: Taxable Acct: Trade Zero ============= Realized gain: -$41.14 ============== Today was platform issue. My broker software system fcked up again. They miscalculated my equity and said I need to meet a margin call when I had NO position on. So I was the phone with them and kept...

I have been using TZ and it has been great. Until you guys switched to Apex clearing. Now there's some issues everyday. When will the issues be fixed??

11/07/2019: Taxable Acct: Trade Zero ============= Realized gain: -$1421.86 ============== Horrible trading today. I couldn't find anything good. So I went back to my old stock that I got out of my swing trade yesterday. I was down huge then when it went back up yesterday I sold everything for...

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/04/study-single-anonymous-market-manipulator-pushed-bitcoin-to-20000.html Wow. But kind of expected given how easy it is to manipulate crypto fir large players

11/04/2019: Taxable Acct: Trade Zero ============= Realized gain: $207.13 ============== In and out a few quick trades. Nothing big. Still hampered by my swing trades that's eating up my margins and buying power! That's the negative effect of holding onto a bad swing trade. It even limits my...

The large swings were due mainly to swing trades. The standard definition of swing trading is holding more than 1 day(that's daytrading). So a few days trade is what I called swing trading. What's hurting me is the swing trades. The daytrades I'm fine. There's NO WAY in hell will I hold for a...
