I assume your scalping most of these and choosing less volatile stocks with a 5% exit strategy or something?

Five profitable days in a row, nice job. I like how you track the time you spent trading. I should try that myself.

No, I actually want volatility, as far as exit strategy, I don't have a set one, on the fast movers I just watch the tape and decide on the fly, on slow movers I go by support and resistance levels I drew before entering the trade.

Actually six profitable days in a row, knock on wood.

Did it again, sized in big, down $2,000 right now, should have stuck with small trades.

Went long ARRY out of the gate 500 shares @ 4.70, should have just held that and it would have been an amazing day, but scalped out, then went short, just messed everything up, this might be the death of my account.

+$40.90 in 6.5 hours of trading.

Carrying a $4,200 loss
