thanks Nesyo, Its not my strategy but my lack of proper execution. I am currently the weak link. four hours a sleep a night, homework coming out of my ears and pressure with a new son to produce some cash. Its a full plate to say the least. My first step is sleep which is what I am...

Hey Wizard, Great post. As a matter of fact I just took an ambian and I am making a rule that unless something has to be done by the next AM I am off the computer at 10pm I read your link and wanted to thank you for posting it. Best to you this week Robert

I am a trader. Well at least I try to be some days. Today was not one of them.

I took a good day and turned into a horrible day Early on I did well with AMED IDXX NFLX and VCI. JNY never was a good trade but I walked away soon enough. I ended up on the wrong side of IDXX and AMED and picked the worst times to walk away. Well almost the worst times. AMED on my second...

Hi OldSpec, Thanks. I keep working at it. some days better than others. Best Robert

Hi Saliva, Thanks. It started out good today and then I just fell apart but in some ways not nearly as bad as I have in the past. I wish you a very good month yourself Respectfully Robert

I was screwing around with 20 shares at a time. no worries. If you had full lots or higher I could see how that could turn into a horror show REAL fast. BIDU was one day of lack of strict discipline and it cost me my month. Being right is not good enough, you have to be right and you have...

Trend following kind of day I came into the office early today and did my usual scans and saw nothing and I mean nothing that looked good. Even X didn’t look good and I thought it was going to give some love today. I was looking for a lower open and a bottom to go long with and it was...

lpchad, Some thoughts came to me while reading your posts. Do you love this girl to the point where your not looking at others (you know more than normal) for someone that has found their true love? I dated a girl with some money (actually more than one now that I think about it) but they...

Great day for one that lasted about 38 minutes It should come as no surprise that NFLX was gonna be rocking with great earnings and a short interest of over 20%. There where basically two choices or maybe a third if you consider sitting on your hands an option. Get long before the open with...

TraderSU, Yes you are totally correct. Its just that I never entered in an order for less than a full lot before (or at least in the last 20+ years). Until the last 10 years I don't think it was possible to day trade an odd lot and make money after the slippage and commissions. If there...

Thanks NoDoji, I was in the same boat for a while. I never could take SIM serious or at least get any value out of it. Then when I saw you trading sim it kinda put the idea back in my head. As I thought about it more I started to think about when I was learning to fly. My wife bought me...

For being up until 2am last night and up again at 6 I am doing pretty well for as tired as I am The day started out great with a nice gap up short with PXP. Looking at the price action today about the only thing I see wrong is that I exited way to soon but I did get more than target so thats...

Way way way to busy. Needed to do other things so this post is a day late. At least its not a dollar (or more) short. Not a bad day for as little as was done. I tried out a feature with IB of trading odd lots today for the first time. I was getting a weak short signal with AAPL but I...

Frustrating isn't it?? so far it may not be the cure but Trading in the zone by Douglas and his other book may open your eyes in ways that you have never seen before. no trading signals but what to do before and after your using those signals. its a great read if you haven't yet. I...

Hey neke, sorry about your Bidu I have no excuse none none none. total 100% with no additives piss poor trading on my part. I am working very hard to stop that crap from happening. it was a gap up the day before for gods sake.... what the hell was I thinking??? Stop in the chat...

SNDK was the only one that I did any trading with today SNDK AGN and AGO gave WW short signals at the open and the executions were poor at best. AGO should have either not been traded at the enty it was or much better than where it was. The signal was valid but I was unable to get the order...

One nice trade today MNTA gave me a B8 short and I added a few extra shares to the trade without getting overboard. Most of the shares where added right near the entry level price and the price did travel up a ways before coming back. I had more than one chance to add just above my current...

If you count the first thread that this one continued from I was up about 40K in 2008 which is when I went full time and a little over 16K last year which was my first full year of only trading for income The first half of last year was good and after HAR (-110K+) in July I really had a hard...

Its a question I get asked a lot. WW and W2 are two that are named after Will and B is after Brenton. Pretty much they all are names of people I know or dogs I had etc.... Its just a way for me to keep track and be able to look at a trade and understand why I entered when I did. I guess at...
