Good day no stress + 3713

Hi Jack, Thanks for saying so. Its been a good week so far and the trading is going about as good as one could hope for. My shares traded really has gone down a lot along with the stress and amount of time I am glued starring at a trade. I plan on just keeping the course the same and...

Hey Surf, Best of luck with your trade. How long do you plan to hold this and/or what will be your exit(s) if it works out or doesn't work out? Respectfully, Robert

Hello Hermit, Thanks for reading and your post. the other big advantage of trading that is limited to just my setups is my stress level has gone down as well. Best to you Robert

I think you could say that about a lot of people right now with "their"(banks) homes and cars.

Pretty slow day today My carry over from yesterday with SWM went well and I covered it shortly after the bell rang. I could have held and ended up with a larger gain but at about $1 per share gain I was pretty happy and covered. SWM + 1599 SATS + 2 QGEN + 105 + 1707 Day + 5999 Week -...

End of another week and it turned into a pretty good day. I had several trades including a nice one with CBS. spent a lot of time with JCP as it was very strong today. I booked some gains with JCP and faded the last move higher at the end of the day. I will be looking for a retrace Monday...

A solid day + 1995 Have a good weekend everyone

LOL, that is the most funny thing I have seen all day. Good work Cat !!

Today turned out to be better than expected. Especially more so as I really dialed down the volume of my trades. Oil traded above 72 today and the market in general was down other than a brief amount at the open . Perhaps those listening to and following Jim Cramer last night on CNBC with his...

Hello Monti1a, thanks for saying so and yes I agree. Money management is key for lasting a long time. What happened to me last month is a good example of what will happen sooner or later when you dont focus on risk. Surely is humbling to have my face bashed in that hard and I have a...
