+101 today, -500 yesterday. No blotter, you'll have to trust me.
I'm back to 200 shares (again). I trade like a pro with 200 shares. If I move up to 500 or 1000 shares, I go to Hell in a handbasket...fast. Go figure.

don't give me credit and think i'm a good consistent trader
i held my last position where I made $600 2400 bucks against me. i nearly blew my week, maybe my month.... so please don't think "NYOB scalper is a disciplined consistent trader" becuase today was PURE FUCKING LUCK... well I was right that it was just a shakeout but jesus. WTF. Time to go smoke a blunt.

I gave a bit back on my last two trades, but I had a good, short morning. I don't really like these days before holiday weekends, so I'm checking out early. I had a nice, quiet week. I didn't have any huge days, but things were slow and consistent. Thank you, market, for picking a direction.

After some contemplation on the train ride home, I decided that today was my last post on trader P/L. I was going in my mind over why I held that trade against me so much... and, please laugh at me, one thing that went through my mind when watching my open P/L get more and more negative was that I didn't want to post a losing day on trader P/L.
Since I'm not trying to recruit business (I don't want your overrides, I don't want to teach you my strategy for money, I'll only respond to PMs from either passionate real traders who just love to talk trading or from intelligent and genuine non-leech people who just want some advice about getting started), posting here is just a dickwaving ego thing... and when I tie my ego to my trading decisions, I end up doing shit like holding losers against me. I kind of started posting here just to "prove" that I am for real, but in the end, all that means is that I feel insecure about my abilities and results and seek external validation to compensate for my own inadequacies. That's not healthy. The very fact that I have such a strong need to prove myself shows to random people on the internet shows that I'm not at the level I need to be at as a dispassionate professional has nothing to prove to anyone. The energy spent maintaining an illusionary image (this is my best month ever, I'm not always this consistent) should be spent on discipline and waiting for good setups.
Wish everyone luck.
