+6.50


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...

Ditto...I began trading small lots (50-100 shares) myself. Decided to take it slow, real slow. I ended October positive (+$25, whoo-hoo!), but lost money throughout the year.

I'll try and post here as frequently as I can. People on this forum have been very helpful and supportive in the past and I've always enjoyed reading P/Ls :)

Anyways, today, I only traded 150 shares, but ended -$57. Can't seem to trade QID very well. Couple more losing trades and it's off the list!
 
-1712.5808

shorted got burned .... cut ... longed the pullback went against me and again cut .... reshorted the high and it broke cut again ..... saw a hard pullback shorted again and cut .... and thats it .....
 
Another failure: -$83

2 trades, both befroe 11AM - went Long on NIHD and shorted T. both reversed almost immediately.

Good thing I only use 100 shares at a time.
