My Day Trading Journal

Finally closed out ARRY short today, If I waited a little bit longer to cover I could have exited it with a profit, but thankful to come back from $5,400 down to close out today with a loss of $236.66.
After being done with that nightmare, got back into the game by shorting HLS and CAR for wins.

$236.66 net loss from ARRY
$331.68 net profit from $HLS $CAR
+$95.02 for the day.

Shorted FEYE, fought all day with it, paid off in the end, closed out partial with 5 minutes to go, and rest 8 seconds before the bell rang.

+$488.15 in 6.5 hours.

Shorted 200 shares of IONS out of the gate for a win, $182 profit in 5 minutes, was ready to call it a day right there, but noticed CAR trading at levels not seen since Nov of last year, did not see any news, decided to scale into a short, started a bit too early, but got some nice adds near the top, scaled out, took a loss on the early shares, but made up for it on the higher adds.

+$527.07 in 6 hours of trading.

Hate to say it but if you keep this up a full account wipeout is coming. $300 winning days but can't take a loser so you carry 5k losses overnight. This is a ticking time bomb.
 
ARRY went up 80% in just one day, it was bound to come back, also full account wipe out would be hard as broker has tight auto liquidation rules even in pre and after market, also learning from my mistakes, that's what trading is about.
 
Not attempting to be negative but it isn't seems you keep repeating the same bad patterns and nobody is busting your balls about it. You keep getting lucky and getting bailed out by turning losers into position trades. It's a recipe for disaster and NOT what day trading is all about.
