Fseitun, I find this to be an extremely valuable post. I am still in the beginner stage as a trader and fight certain demons a lot. I will do very well day trading with strong risk management strategies, then I'll throw in some riskier trades and do well on those, too, even though they may run...

Sorry, hate to burst your "if I can't do it, nobody can" bubble, but this is not a rags to riches dreamer. You've got Neke ALL WRONG. Neke took $103,000 to over $500,000 last year. It is clear to anyone with any sense that Neke is running a massive Ponzi scheme to be able to outperform...

- $119 11:19 a.m.: Watching APOL and COCO hit lows. Chose to go long COCO @ 16.14, bounce off oversold after a hard morning selloff, stop @ 15.85 just below the hammer. I will admit that I chased this one, originally intending to enter @ 15.97. Even this small chase cost me, because after...

- $119 Lunch break cost me a nice profitable entry... :eek:

Put on ORLY short @ 36.50 in the morning, ranged around my price all day. Couldn't trade, PC kaput. Total reformat/reinstall time :(

One trade, ORLY, holding because it ranged around my price all day. Couldn't trade, PC completely bolluxed, total reinstall time :( :(

NYC, the first 20 minutes of trading are extremely volatile. A lot of games are played based on news. The market makers can gap the price in the opposite direction of the orders piling up, then catch the amateurs off guard, triggering stops. If you don't know how to interpret the news AND have a...

+ $106 No complaints other than undertrading as usual. Actually holding a sizable unrealized profit for a change :p (Is this web site realllllly lagging for anyone else?)

+ $106 No complaints other than undertrading. A big help was my system was stable all day, no crashes. 10:32 a.m.: Short GS @ 116.70, overbought, SPY overbought. This trade I tried to pick a top, in retrospect not the best setup. Stop @ 117.50 hit for a $160 loss. Then true to form I watch...

Hi Elit, I sent you an email.

- $97 Despite major virus/spyware scanning and other system maintenance, my system continues to have problems and browser crashes every 20 minutes. Very distracting; need to get to the bottom of the issues. I will soon have two PCs, so that will be a relief for days like this. 10:54 a.m...

- $97 Few complaints on trades I took, but many complaints on the ones I didn't take :p

No bickering on my journal guys! I've learned much from each of you, Bob, Hog, and cae, and continue to do so. I would never let someone else's failures influence my decision to do something. I wouldn't be trading anything if that were true. When I say I strive to be a consistent trader...

Driving back from Sedona this afternoon, I said this to my husband almost verbatim.

If you're in the 35% tax bracket you're making 6 figure and up income. I've never made more than $36K/year salary in my life, so I'll be very happy if I end up in the 35% tax bracket as a result of my trading.

Veganism is much like a religion. However a whole foods pure vegetarian diet is the healthiest a human can eat. The scientific facts are in from all angles and that's the verdict. Keep in mind that the following meals are vegan, but possibly some of the unhealthiest meals you can imagine...

Today's trades attached. System crashed again as I was attaching.

+$129 Did not intend to trade today; leaving early for a weekend away and was basically going to just watch. Also, computer problems all morning. Firefox shutting down regularly, and then my trading platform shut down just as I was about to take profits on some HANS position. Platform shut...

+$129 Day +$163 Week Leaving town and did not plan to trade, but a few small scalps beckoned. Have a good week everyone!

Bob, thanks for taking the time for all your input. You are right, I really did get caught up in the AIPC trade because of the sheer amount of the lost profits. When we started into this trade, I was very firm about the target price. I chose 32 as an extremely conservative target on the way to a...
