Nov Shameless Self Promoting Guru Journal
- Thread starter Brandonf
- Start date
Quote from QQQBALL:
Atlanta sources report that Brandon was last seen exiting a Subway sandwich shop with its unidentified owner/franchisee as county "bunko" inspectors moved in to close the restaurant for ignoring repeated warnings to stop issuing coupons for "free sandwiches" in exchange for futures trading strategies...
the unidentified man of approximately 40 years of age had rolls of intraday stock charts stained with mayo and italian dressing.... the recently divorced owner/franchisee was overheard extolling the virtues of increasing share/position size after each losing trade... sources in the "Peach" state have heard rumors that famed ex-jockey Stevie Cauthen, whose 100+ race losing streak sent many a pyramiding horseplayer into retirement, may be a financial backer in the subway partnership.
more to follow...
Have you no shame?
Sorry for the delay in getting this up this week. Toni was gone so I was in charge of everything (both business and house) so I got behind on everything, including this.

About a couple of weeks ago I've joint Brandon's chat room (2 weeks of free trial). I highly recommend it for newbies. I've tried some other chat rooms for education purposes (never paid for any services) and this is first one I could follow. Very honest, with lots of explanations and Brandon is always there to help.

Today did not produce too much. We did have the NR7 on friday, but over the last several weeks we have seen a higher level of volatility, so that was not something that had me thinking we would see a trend day. I was expecting it to be pretty choppy, which is what it was. Got one trade off today, which resulted in a stop. I will trade tomorrow if there is a reasonable gap and a basis to do so based on that, otherwise I am pretty much done for the month as we will be spending Weds, Thurs and Friday with family for the holiday.
Nov. 25th.
NQ Short (1:48pm CT) 1122 and covered at 1125.5. -3.5
Days Total: (includes round trip commission of $6). -$76.
Monthly Total: $904.5 (9.05%)
Thus, a 30K account +$2713.50 after commissions.
This has been pretty much of a normal month. I think that 10% a month is a reasonable gaol for a trader to shoot for, so coming in just short of that. Overall if you read the journal, I think you will see there has been nothing at all specatular, just kinda of a slow steady sorta (tortuous) thing. When I was losing money I used to have have huge days (both up and down) but consistency has been acheived by being slow and steady.
I hope you all enjoyed the journal and learned something from it. If nothing else that you dont have to trade 10,000 times a month to make a living, and that a conservative approach can yield good results.
