Trader P/L 2005

Not open for further replies.
held positions overnight in order to comply with pdt rules and lost -514.20 and -38.15 before I got stopped by the PDT.
I was wanting to sell the losing positions and buy them on the dips. I would have made money on the trade but I get burned when I hold overnight.

I've been watching my list of stocks climb higher right until the beginning of the month when I began trading live.

I've seriously have got to think about how to trade around that rule.
 
ISP down for about 90% of the morning, and don't feel like trying to wing it on 56k...expecting light losses today, will post.

Takin' the rest of the day off, time ta hit the beach.
 
struggled today, could not find a groove. almost fell asleep a few times. managed to go for a swim, talk to some friends but otherwise I was working most of the day.

Didn't make the beach, ISP came back up & saw a lot of stuff got executed, stuck around to keep an eye on it.

Didn't really trade, too dicey to take on positions with my ISP (and TWS's) failures today. Managed to get outta the red at least.

+3.1k MTM, +2.2k realized across all accounts.

+24 again. Things arent clicking well recently, but i keep feeling like im ever so close to making bigger numbers. Maybe its wishful thinking, maybe its true, time will tell!

It's the slow time in August. Take a few weeks vacation. That's the best thing to do, imo.
 
I found the key - TRADE DURING CLASS! Since dropping my size to 500 shares, I've become less emotional, but trading while paying attention to something else is really paying off.

Investments up $400 or so today. P/L realized on trading during my 1 hour 15 minute Financial Accounting class i $89. See attached.
