Trader P/L 2013

Took a break to clear my head +had a programming project, reminded myself to be more patient with entries, and going into ONLY risk management mode ASAP.. profitable days made me get loose / sloppy discipline. Felt that a shift in 'mental modes' would be the most beneficial for my kind of trading. + Fighting the urge to buy/sell ASAP and reminding myself to wait for better prices

I’ve been a lurker for a while. I’ve been trading for over 3 years, having bounced around a few prop shops. The road to consistency has been no bed of roses. Consistent for about 8 months. I primarily daytrade with occasional swing trades.

I find myself faced with the continual challenge of position sizing and riding winners. I have a high % of profitable trades, but often miss out on the bulk of the trade’s potential. I am ruthlessly disciplined with entries, but exits are weak. I average between $80-$300 daily on volume of about 2000 shares (300-500 share entry depending on price), and am trying to reach the next level. Ultimately, I’ll be happier than a pig in sh*t if I can reach my goal of $1000/day.

Up $193, letting a small position ride to tomorrow.
