Keeping track of my trades

[Disqplay]

Just a way for me to keep track of my trades, by posting them here in the journal it will insure that I keep up with them on a daily basis. I will be attaching a spread sheet with each new trade that I make to keep it up to date.

Shouldn't % profit or loss =((Gx-Bx)/Bx) ?

You are absolutely correct so use to looking at total values on everything really didn't think about it. Thank you for pointing out the errors of my ways.

Bought two stocks yesturday fsac and artg looked at the market this morning and fsac was up 20% and could not set trailing stop so decided to take profit, see attached file.

Yesturday was not a very good day for me in the market, see attached file

Thank you trader60611 just trying to make sure that I keep records of trades. Noticed that sva was a winner several times for me, and if you look at all of them you can play them over and over. I think basically that is what it will take to consistantly take money out of the market. Finding the correct set of stocks is not easy therefore the need for record keeping is very important and most basic to finding stocks you can play time after time. So keep the records and review them often and you can find the jewels amoungst the coal.
