Today:

+$700.37

2 trades

1000 shares of DRYS for $20.37
2000 shares of DRYS for $680

Still trying to get my entry timing down - I only trade for 1.5 hours in the morning before work 2-4 days/week, so i've got to get it right first thing.

Quote from TheAngryHermit:

Saxon, very sorry to hear about the +18.5K you made.

-9.00 for me. Would have been a positive day, but I accidently went long SPY instead of short on the first test of yesterday's low.

Next week is a better week.

Don't get me wrong I love that 18.5K and would sleep with it if I could. I am upset because I got lucky and in this business getting lucky is not a proper way to stay alive.

On a side note, after my initial mini falling apart, I smoke two cigs. calmed down and went back to work.
End result was 21.4K. The second half was more disciplined. HAPPPY!

At the end of November, I withdrew $118,000 from my account which left me with $3,000 in my account. I still use the $118,000 for margin requirements though. It's more of a psychological thing. I trade better when I don't think I have a lot of money backing me up. Anyway:

Last week I lost about $800 bringing my account down to around $2000.

This week: up about 30k or so. Pretty good month so far, but I'm looking for 100k so I have a lot of work to do.
