Perhaps a little bit too crazy for some. It appears that some trades are being broken. Another tread states from the NASDAQ they are breaking a full hour worth of trades for some very big names. Sure doesnt pass the smell test if true for me. Sounds like some market makers trying to...

What a total scam. GE are you kidding?? How could all those stocks including one of the biggest and most deep liquidity be in the group. How can anyone trust the market in days when the govt makes the market do a wild swing on purpose?? What happens to the scalpers providing liquidity...

I would like to wish everyone a super great weekend !!!! All in all not a very good week but I am getting my mojo back so I think next week will be better (as long as the stock market is still here and stock prices are not set by the govt) To say today was super crazy at the open would not...

I knew it was going to be a crazy day when I woke up and checked the news. I had no idea how crazy it was gonna be. Yesterday I spent time trying to screen my screener for the very best trades as it was giving sooooo many signals. That was just foreplay for what today was like. the pop up...

Hi NoDoji, Your pesky friend from chat is back. Glad to see you understood your mistake and got out of the trade. Also contrats on the second trade kinda. I say kinda because of the size of the trade. If there is someone who understands the pain of being too large in a trade its me...

Hello saliva, Thanks for reading my journal and taking the time to make a post. There is no way that I would say its worth only two cents much less worthless : o ) I do agree in your PMT and use all three in finding my entries. I also use other factors with those three when I am trading...

Hello monti1a, You and I are on the same page. I could not agree with you more and I thank you for being willing to share your thoughts. It was a bit hard yesterday and I will admit the desire to just give it up showed itself. As I walked from my truck into my office this morning I had...

Very nice !!

VERY NICE !!! simon1080, Mike805, Dustin, GermanTrader Hmm, I can actually trade pretty well when I stay focused and only trade my signals.......Maybe I will stick with the plan for a while + 6103 for the day - 12700 for the week - 36556 for the month

Big piece of humble pie was served up to me today. Had a second helping. Started out trading 100 share lots. Not only is it altering to trade small but knowing that at 400 shares you actually get enough of a rebate to make the trade free. oh well, today was about protecting capital and...

Hello Saliva, Actually took me less than five months to get to where I was when I started this thread. This thread is a continuation of my first journal thread "record of my trades" Actually I am disappointed in myself in that I can not think of one big loss that would have been that...

Hello Sc85, Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to post your thoughts. AIG, i didnt hold overnight at any time. AIG has been a very profitable net trade. I did give back some gains today. Mostly by just quiting. I didnt feel I had the right attitude and stopped trading for...

HK down over 1125 points, so the longs are WISHING it was only 5% down right now.

closed out some swing trades so most of the damage was not actually done today. Feels like selling at a bottom but if the wheels fall off I want more cash in the account to trade with. - 8740 for the day -18803 for the week - 42659 for the month

Kinda a tough day today. Watched my holdings of RICK, GE and especially IBKR fall and fall in the last few days. decided to close out about 60%ish of the holdings. As a result today looks a lot worse than it was. Not that today was a good day. MS, traded it very well at the open...

Hello Jegnyr, Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your observations which are right on the money. Wow, you must really be paying close attention to what I am doing as your right. The LEH was not fully qualified to enter in during the close before the large drop. I also went...

Very nice and inspirational post. Thank you so much. It's funny how you know in the back of your mind how money is made and lost but it really helps to have it in writing in front of you. My game plan today was to trade small and trade conservative. I also know that today is only the...

Thanks for the well wishes and I am pleased that you enjoy reading my journal. Best of trading to you Bob

Just the kind of day I needed after the last few days. Not a record day but will take it. + 7165 for the day - 10063 for the week - 33919 for the month

If I said I am wore out and ready to sleep for four days it would still be an understatement after today's trading. Firstly, Can't seem to be able to get tradestation to work for more than about 10 -15 mins. rebooted and updated many times. damm thing just fails on big days. I also have...
