Gotcha. Whatever works for you Kurt.
this just made my weekend.
kurt youre 27 and (self described) good looking. the world is yours my friend.
someone suggested reading to you... have you bought books like Mystery Method or The Game yet? change your thinking. you are the prize.
congrats on the bigger days this week. something must be working.
have a good weekend
I just bought that book the other guy recommended, "BANG." Gonna read it after the series 56.
We'll see how the Vegas trip goes.
Thursday night we are driving up to Area 51 to look at the aliens.
Friday we are jumping off the Stratosphere. I'm hoping that leaping off a building helps me with women and with getting size in trading.
Saturday we are going to the gun range to fire weapons.
And on the way home on Monday we are going to Hoover Dam.
Should be a fun weekend, we'll see.
One of my friends is going to the Olive Garden with a girl tonight, they took my idea and ran with it. Damn, I want to go to the Olive Garden. One day...
Well we are leaving Los Angeles after 6pm when I get off work. So we wouldn't make it to Area 51 until like..... 1 am or something.
And we don't have a 4 wheel drive jeep or anything, just my electric lime Saturn... So, we'll just find a spot to to watch the UFOs in the sky. Maybe we can sight-see a little in the morning, but there are no aliens out during the daytime so what's the point.
Plan B for this Thursday road trip is to drive all the way down Zzyzx Road, you can google that, many of you probably do not know what it is since you don't pass through Baker.
Area 51 is a long drive, I'd rather go during the day and get a good spot rather than wing it at night. But I think we're all pretty set on seeing the aliens, so...

They don't let the aliens out during the day? That is f*cking bullshit! I'm contacting the ACLU.
This week's goals:
Profit:
I will not be trading on Friday due to my Vegas trip. This leaves me with 2 full days and 2 half days of trading.
While I want to push for a $1000 day, a reasonable goal for this week, is $1000, it would be a good way to close the month strong, and give me good vibes for my weekend getaway.
Trading:
Looking to remain consistent. Stick to the plays I know. Size up whenever possible. Take profits in the face of price waves for high probability outs.
My ideal setups are more difficult to find when individual stocks do not have news making them in play. I will have to rely on correlations and tape reading. Attack good setups if they appear.
Be anticipatory. Use level 2 analysis to be in the money before the dumb money entry.
I think a $1000 / week goal is a good one for now. That is a decent payout to make an early living in the game. It would allow me to quit job #2. One month with consistency at such a target would be enough to allow me to do so.
If I can go full time, I can completely dive into the market, and never lose my market feel. I will have time to adequately analyze the market. I really, really want to get there. I would also be able to move near the trading office, allowing me to get more sleep and save gas money.
My full potential is greatly inhibited by my forced disconnection from the price action.
--------------
The test of consistency outside of earnings season continues.
Granted, we have some movement in the markets, which presents opportunity for money to be made. The market is rarely like this. Movement like this is a gift. It can not be used as a real indicator of improvement. At the same time, it must not be taken for granted.
However, if I can continue to do well in this environment, I will be in a great position for the next earnings season.
I have bad feelings about the future of the market. I feel there is growing pressure to weed out the intraday guys. HFT is giving everyone a bad rep. I don't mind HFT, but whatever they do to them can very likely impact the day trader. I hope the career itself can continue to exist. I have a bad feeling the series 56 is only the beginning. Big money wants the momentum leaches out.

The girl asked me if I'm in love with her. I told her I'm waiting for Winona Ryder.
Must stay focused. Keep my eyes on the market. Profits must be my priority.
