I love this place with so many traders, so I decide to gather my courage to post my own trading plans and executions and results. I have a demanding job, so the way I am trading is neither swing nor daytrade, and many times I had to pass due to workload. Thus what I post will be a mixed result of paper trading and actual trading. Nevertheless, they will serve a good purpose for me. I enjoy communicating with fellow traders, and good luck to everybody and to myself..

I don't know the detail about the disclosure rule, have seen people in the thestreet.com doing it all the time, but did not see anyone doing this here. So just to put something here - please do not "trade or not trade" because I post my plan here. I do not have position on any of the stocks mentioned so far.
