Took the last two days of last week off, back at it today.....
good day, given that it just stayed inside of the prior day's range and basically just chopped around. I think these are the days that require major discipline to hit your goal because there wasn't shit out there directionally. You have to know when its a "runner with legs" and when its just going to be shit chop and change your pitch up, so to speak...

Dear Diary,
I'm on 50 shares per trade, because I refuse to bleed cash any longer. I also figured out my freezing issues. Turned out to be a bad cable splitter.
Could have made a hundred or so if I could have stood to stare at my screens. What a crappy flat market. Tommorow I may start using IB's bracket orders. That way I won't be forced to endure any more water torture. Just set the entry price, attach the stop and profit target and forget it.
I have to admit, there is zero adrenaline rush trading when trading 50 shares (also zero stress, swear words, throwing things across the room, chest pains, etc.). This may turn out to be a good thing...
