Adventures of a Trader 2

Summary for March

I came out this month with guns blazing, pocketing some nice profits from UTHR, AZO, and SYNA but soon after took some big hits, and the rest of the winners were small. To make things worse, I got a call from Scottrade telling me that one of their traders had sold his stock in netflix and that I needed to cover my short monday morning..that was an extra 70+ hit I didnt intend to cover till at least next month. Over all I'm just gald to be green on the month. One thing I need to keep in mind for next month is to not be to quick to short the gaps. If they make HH's then it might be a good chance for a long.

Summary for April

Nothing really stands out as anything from normal. just a nice steady month. However I did notice that once I look at short term gains and losses, I'm making over 1k this month and last, but gave back over half. Maybe this is just normal as I'd never know my PnL till the month is over, but It'd be nice to be able to lock in higher profits.
