M Masterchanger Apr 1, 2009 #985 Well had a good day, met target, which was (2-5%) day or $200-$500/ per day. I'm going to up my target this month to $500-$1,000 a day or 5-10% gain on account. My goal for the month was to generate 100% for month of April so that account balance is $20K by month end. +1,475.00 today (+12% gain from yesterday, +14.75% on base account. Up 36.3% for the week! I have time to go out and get some coffee and read my trading books! Attachments 04012009.jpg 04012009.jpg 31.5 KB · Views: 208

B BostonKiller Apr 1, 2009 #987 +760 I held DXD (my usual 300-share position) overnight and sold it first thing in the morning. No more trading today; want to hold on to profits. My apologies, I am at work, so no blotter. Good trading today, everyone!

M Masterchanger Apr 1, 2009 #990 WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF!WTF! My goal is to be done trading by 12noon EST and I was all set to get away and not only did I not leave to go do something else I continue to trade and was severely not on my game! I let losers run, didn't protect my capital well, used wide stops and let them get hit! Revenge trading!! Overtrading, you name it. Man I was my own worst enemy. I was up $1475 and ended up down $1562 I actually had to lock my orderbar to prevent me from continuing to trade. I've never used that button but It was handy today gross equity $10,505
