Hello David, Well welcome to the party and glad you could make it. In a few days it will be a year. I think naturalized citizens are great. These are people that are Americans not just because they were born here but because they made a choice to join in on the fun. While Japan and...

Hey John, Thanks for going out of your way to make a post here again. Its been quite the ride this year. I sometimes feel like Thomas Edison must have felt going about trying to figure out how to light it up. Its easier to find all the ways that it doesn't work. Either way we have to...

Hello David, Thank you for your post. I agree that trading is about finding market direction and when the buying pressure does not match the selling pressure is where we find opportunity. I do not share your thoughts that my ego is too strong (although maybe that in itself means your...

Hello Nesyo03, Thanks for reading my journal and thanks for taking the time to post. Yes, I have taken notice of the problems with my strategies.... You are right that when it doesn't it does wipe out huge amounts of gains. So often though the problem lies not with the strategy but...

Started trying out a couple of new setups today. lots of 100 share lots and turned out ok. No big gains or lossers. I worked until late last night looking at SEED and the placing of orders in general. i created a spreadsheet of entries that I had been thinking about doing for over a year but...

Thanks, It wasn't a day of guts but a day full of mistakes. I went to large to quick and did it with the wrong stock. I learned a lot from today so it wasn't a total waste I will come in tomorrow and try to do a better job. Robert

Thanks, I will be back to smaller size again tomorrow.... once I build it up again then I will push it up once again. Robert

chewed apart with SEED today I was considering not trading SEED today due to the very limited shares available to short. I should have used caution more than I did. Several times I could have walked away with a gain had I been able to properly trade my system but sure enough when I needed...

really a tough day for the whole thing - 13576

Thanks AC3 Hopefully this continues as next week I will be adding a little bit of size to my trades. Have a great weekend Robert

Good way to end the week Nothing really big happened today as I once again kept my trading very small. I did enter a trade though that was based on a very old signal that I worked on years ago that I have since been working with again. I only traded 100 shares and endup closing it out due to...

Its a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll + 449

Pretty good day of trading but I missed one by a penny Its not that uncommon for me to miss a trade by a penny or two as I try to find the tops and sometimes that means aiming to high. Today though I had an interesting one with MA. I put an offer in at 235.97 and watched it clime up past 235...

great day small size + 710

CHS was a gapup trade that worked ok, It would have been better to gain a full target with it but that was below the 15.00 point and I feared that it may hit 15 and bounce back up. the other factor was it was consolidating on the 10min chart and the 9MA was climbing which is a classic blast-off...

David, congrats on your day !!!!!! I had a good day today for me as well. I even went back into the green for the month + 585

Three trades today I was totally done trading about an hour after the opening bell. I have though been working on two new signals that appear to have promise. So far I have not traded either one but at the stage of recording the actions if I was trading them. All trades today were very small...

would have liked to have made more today but I guess thats the case everyday + 805

yes, if you were expecting the earnings to be higher so was everyone else (at least in this case) so when the masses decided to liquidate (and quickly when others did the same) there where fewer than normal buyers (at price points) in after hours trading than normal. With earnings you have...
