Long/Short Stock Swing Trading Journal
- Thread starter mc107
- Start date
The last few posts don't list trades, just recommendations. Also, you don't post your P/L anymore. Why? Maybe you have a graph of your P/L?
Do you want this thread to be just a journal for your trades / recommendations, or you want to get opinions on some of your trades from others? I'm writing "some of your ..." because it would be impossible to discuss such a large number of stocks.
I just reviewed your journal, and you mentioned in the beginning that you use only technicals for picking your trades, but wanted to add some fundamentals. Have you abandoned this idea?

Here are the trade details from 4/27 to 5/5/2006. Sorry the journal is not as complete as I desired because I was out of town quite a few times these days.
