I started off with about 53000 in mid-August. Made quite a few mistakes and learned never to trade the leveraged etfs, futures or options. I only trade breakouts now which is by far a better game.
My first time doing this but I think it would be good to post up my results. For the record, I am strictly a swing trader and do not day trade (unless I really screw up and my stop is hit).
Wasn't too happy today, considering my positions were lagging the rest of the market. Tomorrow is another day though... +53.15
I was long FAS from 81.45 but scaled out way to soon. I should have let ride all the way up there. at the close I shorted some over bought names but nothing happened.
