Down a computer, mainly doing my regular trades. Have had a few trades to put in here but was busy, and will try to keep these as close to real time for the intraday trades as possible.
 
First the trades:
Closed pfe ve 1.10= -0.45 = -$225 - $10 Comm. = -$235
Closed ge vz 0.10 = +.15 = $ 75 - $10 comm. = +65
Sold 1200 shs CSCO $17.69 (avg sh price was $18.76) = $-1284
Running Total = - $91.
Experiment closed
 
Now for the rest. I'm now retired(nice way of saying blown out). I'm back to looking for a job. This is the second time I've been down this road, and I think it will be the last. Hey, It'll be great working with teeny boppers at McDonalds compared to telling the wife how big a hole I've dug. The answers aren't in any vendors software, they are in numerous books written for however long there has been a market. The ones that say the common things, cut losses, plan the trade and trade the plan, those simple, basic ideas go a long way. I have twice now followed the plan only to self destruct walking off the plan.
Good luck to all those that trade on here, although it isn't luck that keeps you succesful. Thanks to those who have posted informative and educational material, I've enjoyed and learned from quite a few. Unfortunately I am left to admit I don't have the discipline for this job, a job I've really enjoyed, but at the same time maybe not enough to stay focused on the task for the long term.
Great trading to all
