It would be nice if you could post a few trades (with entry, stop and target level) in real time.

Great results by the way, have a good weekend too, in that wonderful city of Montreal (I used to go to the Vieux -Old- Montreal and listen to some fantastic Jazz sessions in the summer).

Too bad the Montreal Jazz Festival (the world's largest) was cancelled this year, due to Covid.

I will try my best as my holding times are 30 seconds to 5 min, Most stops are set at $0.20-$0.30 below my entry, target is about the same.

Finished the day
+$1000 (wired out) penny strategy
+$40 GLD
+$400 TFSA ) Took some good trades considering this account is only 40k

+$1440 on the day

+almost $7000.00 wired out on the week.

Going to try and finish my logging and work tonight so i can take Saturday off, Its Musky fishing time! have a great weekend

Yes I guess that's the problem, your holding time is too short to allow real time posts on ET, at the same time.

I sat in front of a screen for 3 years watching the tape losing money every day, then i stopped losing and started making small amounts and just compounded my gains. I dont use charts for my penny stock strategy.

You are one of those losers who lose even when they win. You are not able to enjoy success. You have to go to internet and expose yourself to total strangers. If you make money shut up and get life.

Filled 600 of 600 at $183.77

Filled 600 of 600 at $183.94

Not the kind of profits im looking for, was waiting for a bull back that never came, bought at the highs when it started consolidating around 9:47 sold as soon as it popped up. GLD is still pushing highs im sure it will go higher, might re enter if there is a small pull back

Edit* well there ya go was a small pull back at 10:09 couldn't pull the trigger and it ran right after. Im done for the day.

Cant believe how stressful this is when you have no confidence in a system. My main system can have 5-6k swings up or down during the day and i wont flintch, but $100 swing on this one makes my hand shake lol. Forgot how regular trading feels. Im going to work on a list of things i have to improve and mabye re read trading in the zone for the 75th time.

Take care

Hello,

GLD TRADE

Went long on first pull back, got stopped out ($-114)
Went long again after a lower low terrible trades ($-180)

Went Short after small pop from lower low ($+102)
Went short again small scalp got lucky ($+78)
Went short at 10:14 at the new lower high went in for quick scalp but it tanked ($+243) left a little on the table there.

Ended +$125

Very happy to be green after starting with a loss, i took 1 bad trade but was happy that i reversed my direction even though gold gaped up.
